Episode Description:

Karl and Erum welcome Orr Yarkoni, CEO and co-founder of Colorifix. He gives us a deep look into the innovative realm of biotech and sustainable dyeing practices happening at Colorifix and the impact of conventional dyeing processes on the environment. Orr introduces a groundbreaking approach that utilizes genetically modified microorganisms to produce and fix dyes directly onto fabrics, highlighting significant reductions in water, chemical use, and energy consumption compared to traditional methods. This episode not only casts light on the urgent need for industry-wide adoption of eco-friendly technologies but also invites you to think about the broader implications of biotechnology in creating a sustainable future.
