White Technology In Textile Industry

                  White Technology In Textile Industry

The textile industry is at the dawn of a new era of white technology. White technology refers to the use

of living cells and other enzymes to develop industrial products that are easily degradable, create less

waste during production, and even perform better than the products developed using traditional methods.

PILI, a France-based biotechnology startup, has been developing bridgeable dyes using sugar-munching

microbes. Recently, PILI has announced closing a $3 million initial funding round that would help its

fermentation technology to produce high-performance bio-based pigments and dyes. The technology can be

applied to industrial processes to improve efficiency, performance, and sustainability.

 Most of the people never realize that the blue colored jeans that they wear are the biggest enemy of

the mother nature. Recently, a team of energy bioscience researchers have found a “greener” way to

manufacture blue jeans. Professor John Dueber and his team have used genetically modified bacteria such

as E. coli and yeast to produce indigo color.

 Currently, indigo color is synthetically created using petroleum. The process involves the use of a

variety of chemicals that are harmful to the environment and sea life. However, with the help of bacteria,

the use of these hazardous chemicals can be eliminated, and the process could complete at a faster rate.
