Actinomycete-Derived Pigments: A Path Toward Sustainable Industrial Colorants by Blanca Hey Díez, Cristiana A. V. Torres, Susana P. Gaudêncio

“…Pigment production has a substantial negative impact on the environment, since mining for natural pigments causes ecosystem degradation, while synthetic pigments, derived from petrochemicals, generate toxic by-products that accumulate and persist in aquatic systems due to their resistance to biodegradation. Despite these challenges, pigments remain essential across numerous industries, including the cosmetic, textile, food, automotive, paints and coatings, plastics, and packaging industries. …”
