What we do

At Protiva, we develop high-performance, eco-friendly, and scalable textile dyes from bacteria. The microorganisms selected by Protiva Bioinks consume agro-industrial production waste and transform it into high-quality, biodegradable textile dye. Our dyes require less water and additional chemicals in the dyeing processes, while also producing effluents with minimal environmental impact.

Our value

We combine the best of two worlds:

  • The sustainability and low environmental impact of microbial dyes.
  • The scalability and efficiency of industrial textile dyes.

Contest & Awards

Throughout these years, we have participated in various competitions and calls. Not only have we had the joy of winning some, but we have also had the opportunity to showcase our work and build connections with entrepreneurs and biotechnology institutions.
