Sparxell is on a mission to revolutionise the world of industrial colourants. Its patented technology uses cellulose from wood pulp to create structural colour – the same principle that creates iridescent butterfly wings – eliminating petroleum-based chemicals, titanium dioxide and toxic heavy metals and minerals. The textile industry alone releases 1.5 million tonnes of toxic synthetic dyes into waterways annually.
Dr Benjamin Droguet, Founder and CEO of Sparxell, said:
“Our technology isn’t just an alternative – it is here to stay because it delivers superior performance due to its nature-inspired features. This funding takes us from proof of concept to production and commercial launches. “
