Living Ink

Why does Living Ink use biomass waste from algae to produce our black #pigment and #ink products? 1️⃣ Carbon Capture #Algae is one of the most productive plants on earth. Grown using sunlight as power and CO2 as building blocks, algae naturally sequester CO2 from the atmosphere. 2️⃣ Oxygen Production Algae also creates massive amounts of oxygen. Did you know that over half the oxygen we breathe comes from oceanic algae? 3️⃣ Prolific Growth Growing algae requires minimal land and less water usage compared to traditional crops, ensuring zero contribution to deforestation or the displacement of land and other resources for food production. At Earthrise Nutritionals' farm, where we source our algae byproduct, the pond-grown algae are harvested daily. 4️⃣ Turning waste into value Living Ink intentionally uses algae #wastestreams. We provide a responsible waste disposal solution for our partners who are already cultivating algae for purposes like spirulina nutritional supplements. This prevents the leftover biomass from decomposing in a landfill where it would emit greenhouse gases. Watch this short clip from our southern California farm partners to see where our algae waste comes from.

Packaging World spoke with our Director of Partnerships, Devon Murrie, about our latest Algae Ink™ collaboration with Nike. Our Flexographic Algae Ink™ is perfectly suited for #corrugated #packaging projects like the Nike ISPA shoeboxes. Our Algae Ink product line offers brands renewable #printing #inks that are pigmented black by #algae cells, unlike conventional inks colored by #fossilfuels.

"Petroleum, a trillion dollar industry, has dominated carbon black for a long time. Living Ink is turning waste into something valuable, which is a no-brainer. We’re removing carbon from the value chain and giving value to downstream customers. It's just common sense. When the entire value chain is included in the decision-making process, Living Ink is a clear winner for brands genuinely concerned about their carbon footprint." - Scott Fulbright Our CEO recently spoke with Sage Shelton for material factors about the health risks of certain pigment particle sizes, future plans to diversify waste input materials, and the importance of big picture thinking to connect the dots.

🌿 We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Halker Consulting to design and build a #pyrolysis demonstration plant at our HQ in Berthoud, Colorado. This innovative facility will revolutionize the #ink and #pigment industry by scaling up the production of our carbon-negative Algae Black™ pigment, made from discarded #algae #biomass #waste. By vertically integrating our pyrolysis step, the process of decomposing organic material at high temperatures without oxygen, we will continue to enhance our #supplychain #transparency, reduce production costs, and further lower our #carbonfootprint -- paving the way for safe and sustainable color solutions. 🌍💚 Thank you to our partners at Halker, known for their expertise in engineering and project management, and Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN) for supporting this exciting development.

"One man's trash is another man's treasure." 🗑 This well-known proverb encourages us to re-evaluate our perspectives and it also encapsulates the Living Ink mission: Through a patented process, we transform waste into value. More specifically, we divert agricultural #biomass waste away from landfills to create carbon-negative #pigments and plant-based #inks that reduce reliance on petroleum-derived colorants to instead integrate #renewable and #safe materials into #supplychains worldwide. Sounds a lot like treasure to us! 👀 💎 Discover how we're redefining #waste in this detailed interview with our two co-founders, Scott Fulbright and Stevan Albers on texfash.com. #wastestreams #algae #algaeink #algaeblack #livingink #packagingsolutions #textilesolutions #naturalcolors #naturaldyes #carbonnegative #greentech #cleantech #sustainablefashion #ecofriendly #sustainablepackaging #printing
