Octarine Bio is a world leading synthetic biology platform with a core mission to drive bio-based, sustainable solutions that transform the world of colour.
Conventional synthetic colourants carry a heavy environmental cost, and industries are under growing pressure to account for it. PurePalette is our response: bio-based colourants for inks, coatings, polymer and fibre applications – from packaging and apparel to automotive and consumer goods. Each product is engineered to meet industrial specifications, run on the equipment you have, and cost what you pay today.

Our mission is central to our identity, not just a formality. We're building toward an industry that doesn't have to choose between performance and responsibility — and one whose supply chains are more resilient for it, produced from renewable inputs rather than concentrated markets. We get there by working alongside partners who want the same thing.

We design microbes that make colours the way nature does, and we engineer them to do it at industrial scale. Together, our colours cover the palette that industry works with.
A colour molecule is not a product. We engineer it into one - controlling particle size and distribution, stabilising the dispersion, and tuning compatibility with the systems our customers already run.
