Pili’s Eco-Indigo has been named one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2025.
Developed by Pili and implemented in the Citizens of Humanity Group’s Eco-Indigo collections, this innovation has earned international recognition as the first petroleum-free indigo dye made using biotechnology instead of fossil fuels.

Developed by Pili and implemented in Citizens of Humanity and AGOLDE Eco-Indigo collections, this innovation recognised by TIME Magazine marks the first petroleum-free indigo dye made using biotechnology instead of fossil fuels.
By replacing petroleum-derived chemicals with renewable, plant-based ingredients, Eco-Indigo dramatically reduces the environmental footprint of denim dyeing while preserving the deep, lasting color that makes indigo timeless.
This recognition from TIME is a proud moment for our team and partners. It shows how a successful collaboration can set a new ecological standard and build a more sustainable future for fashion.
A huge thank you to Citizens of Humanity for its vision, collaboration, and commitment to pioneering meaningful changes in the denim industry.
