Post Carbon Lab

🧪🌿🎨

We are hosting an event in collaboration with The Worshipful Company of Dyers , our manufacturing partner , and a natural colour education facilitator in early July 🥳

✨🤝🏛

In the past few months, we’ve been working hard on research for our White Paper about the bottlenecks, opportunities and what’s stopping us from turning good will into action.

We spoke to many industry stakeholders and we are excited to share the research outcome with the industry professionals in colour 🌈, fashion/textile 👗 & polymers 🥽

💪🗣👀🧠🖐


Whether you are a brainy decision-maker or a kinaesthetic creative, there is something for everyone 😉

Come watch, touch and swatch your way into the world of microbial & botanical colours at our hands-on event at Dyers’ Hall, London on 3 July!

✨ Explore how BioColours can quantitatively & qualitatively impact the colour value chain

🖐️ Create your own swatch book with microbial & botanical colours

👃Touch, smell & feel the colours, texture and finishes and ask questions you have


🎤 Join dialogues, see demos & drop-in BioColour Guru sessions

Today marks the enchanting ✨ winter solstice 🌚, a time when the world embraces the longest night and welcomes the promise of returning light. We hope you’re revelling in the warmth of cherished company 💕 as we prepare for the holiday 🍷 feast or cosy hibernation 🛌 ahead.

😴😋😴

Though winter solstice evokes images of leafless trees and chilling nights, let’s take a moment to honour the hidden lives of surrounding species that endure the cold nights with us. Thanks to them, we can forage locally & wildly grown chemical compounds that nature has in abundance for us to experiment with for creating sustainable colours/coatings/formulae 💚

🍂🔬🌿

In one of our foraging adventures, we stumbled upon a magical ✨ tiny baby snail 👶🐚 who accidentally hitched a ride back to our lab along with the foraged plants. This little snail was so adorable 💕🥰 We made sure that our wee friend was safely reunited with its snail mates, letting it continue its adventure in east London wilderness.

🍃🐌🐌

This winter solstice, let’s celebrate not just the human connections but also the intricate web of life around us 🕸👋 In our pursuit of environmentally beneficial creations, we’re constantly reminded of the beauty and resilience of itty-bitty creatures that cross paths with us and the valuable lessons they can teach us if we’re open to learning.

🌚🌈📝

As we embrace the changing seasons, may the winter solstice inspire us to cherish the unseen stories, the silent companions, and the symbiotic relationships that thrive even in the coldest times 😘 Share your tales of unexpected encounters with nature or your cosy winter traditions in the comments below with us!

This issue is available at both online book stores & high-street bookshops, so feel free to grab one now if you are interested in the carbon convos 😎

📗🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

We have been invited to contribute to this feature since last summer and the National Geographic editing team has decided to include our bioprinted textile sample created by embedding photosynthetic microbes 🦠 into the substrate with a digitally printed pattern 🦾🦿

🧤🧪🌿

We also feel honoured 🥰 to see our work has made it into the final edits amongst other mind-blowing innovations like artificial diamonds , vodka and aviation fuel , all made from captured CO2.

✈️🍾💎

Ever since our account was targeted by Instagram bots last year, we felt a bit disheartened to keep posting. However, now we have better protection mechanisms in place, we will try to share more updates from our work here again 😗🤞
It is a pleasure to welcome our new friends here and to have our old mates around 🥰

As part of the Algae Innovation Hub, we shared our new colour palettes derived from photosynthetic microbes 🦠 & green chemistry, which we have been working hard to reach industry standards.

👩‍🔬🧪📐

Our bubbling green algae babies stole the show and it is such a delight to see the joy & curiosity on people’s faces as they interact with our tiny eco-warriors.

✨⚗️👀

But that's not all! We also showcased our microbial coloured peace silk skeins at the . It is such an honour for us to be a part of this beautiful collective that creates vivid colours without fossil fuels. 🎨✨
