@wearkent x BioBlack TX for an all compostable, plastic-free, sustainable tee collection: Wear. Plant. Grow. Printed on 100% GOTS certified organic cotton and paired with our black ink sourced from FSC-certified wood waste, this tee saves 2.83 lbs of carbon dioxide, 211 gallons of water, and 170g of chemicals. By choosing BioBlack TX over traditional black made from petroleum based & fossil fuel derived ingredients, WEARKENT has taking a powerful step towards reducing their emissions and removing carbon from our environment by embracing green and safe chemistry. We loved partnering with WEARKENT to bring you a made-to-last collection that can be composted at the end of its (long) life! 🌱 Learn more & shop on their website at https://lnkd.in/g-8xsnk8 🖤 #BioBlackTX #woodwasteisthenewblack #sustainablefashion #biopigments #naturaldyes #naturecoatings #materialrevolution #sustainability #compostablefashion #wearekent

We’ve talked about our solution, BioBlack TX, but it’s time we highlight our problem: carbon black. 🔑 Key Points: - Carbon black is a fine, black powder that is produced by burning coal tar, vegetable matter, or petroleum products. - The cost of using carbon black as a pigment & in our everyday products? It contains carcinogens called Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). And results in millions of tons of CO2 emissions during its manufacturing process. This poses significant risks to both human health and the environment. - Meanwhile, BioBlack TX is a safe, high-performing alternative to carbon black that not only reduces emissions but actively removes carbon from the environment. - BioBlack TX has an 85% lower carbon footprint compared to petroleum-derived alternatives. 👀 See our full post on the impact of carbon black at https://lnkd.in/g5g5nGUh Or learn more at https://lnkd.in/gN3CZEuF 🖤

The color black is all around us and is the most used pigment. Unfortunately this pigment, or carbon black, is currently produced in a way that is harmful to both planet and human health. Our portfolio company Nature Coatings is solving this problem by producing a sustainable alternative that transforms pre-consumer industrial wood waste into high-performing biobased black pigments, free of carcinogenic PAHs. 🔺 Carbon black is a fossil-based pigment used in inks, textiles, and much more. Annually, about 8.1 million tons of carbon black is produced by burning oil or natural gas, significantly contributing to CO2 emissions. 🔺 On top of this, carbon black contains carcinogens called Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), posing a threat to workers and final consumers. Its cosmetic application is already restricted by the EPA and in EU jurisdictions. Nature Coatings has obtained multiple certifications (ZDHC, OEKOTex Eco Passport, USDA Certified Biobased Product) to back up their claim of a toxic-free, biobased black pigment. Their stellar pigment was recently featured in Parley for the Oceans and Sky High Farm Universe's first ever all-natural, bio-fabricated Ready-To-Wear collection on non-harmful Bananatex® and TômTex Inc.'s biomaterials at the 2024 Future Fabrics Expo.

We are excited to announce that both of our pigment dispersions, BioBlack TX and BioBlack DP, are certified at 100% biorenewable by the USDA. It creates a step towards moving away from petrochemicals in black pigments for inks, cosmetics, food packaging, textiles, paints, automotive and more. BioBlack TX and BioBlack DP are water-based pigment dispersions that incorporate our proprietary black pigment made from 100% recycled wood waste from FSC® certified sources. All of our wood waste comes from within 60 miles of our fully vertically integrated plant located in the southeast USA, where we create our BioBlack pigments and dispersions. 🪵🖤 Learn more about our certifications at https://lnkd.in/gRkyg5_D ✔️ #woodwasteisthenewblack #usdacertified #biopreferred #biopigments #sustainablefashion

Recently, our BioBlack TX pigment was used in collaboration with Parley for the Oceans and Sky High Farm Universe in their first-ever Ready-To-Wear collection, made from all natural and biofabricated ingredients. BioBlack TX performed across a range of versatile, non-harmful biomaterials from our friends at Bananatex® and TômTex Inc. 🖤 The capsule collection was presented at the 2024 #FutureFabricsExpo (by The Sustainable Angle) last month, and we couldn’t be more excited to be part of this #materialrevolution.

Traditional dyeing processes, while effective in producing vivid colours and intricate patterns, have long been marred by significant environmental drawbacks, including excessive water consumption and pollution. 🎨 Did you know that Carbon Black, a fossil fuel-based pigment used in inks, textiles, and more, is highly detrimental to the environment? Annually, about 8.1 million tons of carbon black is produced by burning heavy oil or natural gas, significantly contributing to CO2 emissions. Recent innovations by our innovators — Nature Coatings and Living Ink — have found a way to create this black pigment by using biobased materials instead. 🪵 Nature Coatings transforms pre-consumer industrial wood waste from the lumber, paper, furniture, and flooring industries into high-performing black pigments using a closed-loop, toxin-free process. 🦠 Living Ink converts waste microalgae from algae farms into bio-based pigments through an exclusive heating process, turning leftover algae biomass into vibrant black colourants. Learn more about the innovators’ stories, technologies, challenges and successes and see how the innovations are driving tangible change in the industry.

We were excited to be invited by The Packaging School to talk about our sustainable pigment solutions, known as BioBlack, for the packaging industry. Thank you so much for having us!
Join the Packaging School's Julie Rice Suggs, PhD as she speaks with Jane Palmer, CEO of Nature Coatings, about their groundbreaking carbon-negative pigment made of upcycled wood waste. Nature Coating’s BioBlack™ pigment is made of Forest Stewardship Council-certified wood waste, is carcinogen-free, and performs similarly to conventional oil-based pigments.
