- the problem

Indigo has defined denim for more than a century. Unfortunately, the chemistry used to produce and apply this heritage pigment has changed remarkably little.

Today, mills and brands face a new challenge: reducing environmental impact while maintaining the colour, performance, efficiency and economics the industry depends on.

We believe they shouldn't have to choose.

- the solution

NordicBlue uses enzymes to activate an indigo precursor directly in the dye bath, generating indigo on the yarn and replacing the conventional reducing chemistry.

- Why Nordic Blue

NordicBlue was spun out of the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), one of Europe’s leading research environments in biotechnology and biosustainability.

Today, we combine deep expertise in biotechnology, textile dyeing and commercial scale-up to bring enzyme-activated indigo from science to industrial application.

- team

Nordic Blue brings together experts across biotechnology, textile engineering, engineering and business development. By combining complementary expertise, we're building practical solutions for a more sustainable textile industry.
