About Us

We’re a growing team dedicated to bringing clean, clear colour to the world

Driven by their shared passion for harnessing the power of microbes to tackle environmental issues, Xin and Lucie have a long history of collaboration on challenging projects. Known as the "dynamic duo" for their tireless brainstorming sessions in the hallways outside their lab, their dedication to unlocking the potential of microbes led them to found Newera Bio. They are committed to developing innovative and sustainable dyeing solutions, promoting a bioeconomical revolution in the way we color our world.
