Reinventing the chemistry of color with bio-based pigments
Huue is a synthetic biology company that has developed the world's first clean, scalable indigo dye for the denim industry. Built on UC Berkeley-invented bioengineering research, Huue's proprietary process converts sugar into vibrant bio-based pigment using engineered microbes — eliminating the toxic chemicals and fossil fuels required by conventional indigo synthesis. The company's drop-in solution is designed to integrate directly with existing denim manufacturing infrastructure, enabling brands and mills to dramatically reduce their environmental footprint without changing their production workflows.
