Huue

Using biotechnology to create the world's most sustainable dyes

Employees 6–20
Headquarters Berkeley, California, United States
Huue is creating the next generation of sustainable dyes for the industries that are integral to a sustainable future. About 200,000 tons of mainly petrochemical-based dyes (worth 1 billion USD) are lost annually to effluent due to inefficient dyeing and finishing processes. Huue provides a cost-effective, resource-efficient, sustainable dyeing alternative. Rather than petrochemicals, Huue uses biotechnology & green chemistry to create drop-in, high performing colors with a lower carbon footprint.
