Living Ink specializes in creating sustainable black pigments and inks derived from renewable biomass waste, particularly discarded algae cells. Their innovative approach replaces traditional petroleum-based colorants with eco-friendly alternatives, utilizing a life cycle assessment (LCA)-backed, carbon-negative process. This method not only repurposes waste materials but also ensures that all Living Ink products are powered by renewable resources, promoting a more sustainable future across various industries, including packaging, textiles, and cosmetics.

The company's flagship products, ALGAE BLACK™ pigment and ALGAE INK™ printing inks, exemplify their commitment to environmentally responsible solutions. Living Ink offers a range of products, including water-based inks suitable for flexographic printing on corrugated packaging and OEKO-TEX certified inks for screen printing on textiles. Their soy ink formulation for offset printing further demonstrates their dedication to providing climate-smart color options while redefining the future of black materials through innovative use of algae waste.
