In partnership with <a href="https://www.virusinks.com/blog-post.php?title=virus-inks-rethinks-the-black-ink-for-textile-screen-printing-creating-a-recycled-product-obtained-from-the-disposal-of-organic-waste//">Virus Inks</a> , RethINK Black is a commercially available highly sustainable screen printing ink tinted exclusively with OurCarbon. The base ink is 80% bio-based and completely water based, and OurCarbon replaces the fossil fuel intensive carbon black pigment.

In partnership with <a href="https://www.greenmattersnaturaldyecompany.com/">Green Matters Natural Dye Company</a>, OurCarbon can be utilized as a botanical dye. This water based batch process is light on the environment when compared to chemical dyes and yields a uniquely textured charcoal finish.

These pigmented pellets can be compounded out of any base plastic ranging from recycled PET to bioplastics. Adding a small percentage of these to a batch of plastic will color the entire batch black with OurCarbon.

The unique properties of OurCarbon allow it to ensure strength in concrete while adding embodied carbon to reduce emissions. Utilized as a partial aggregate replacement/admixture, the avoided and sequestered emissions within OurCarbon are enough to render concrete carbon negative. Please inquire for more details.

OurCarbon can easily be mixed into oil or water based paints to tint the paint black. This method has been utilized at <a href="https://designwanted.com/ourcarbon-sewage-sludge//">Dutch Design Week</a> , The Design Museum of Barcelona, and more.

OurCarbon has many benefits within a soil environment. 

The micropores in OurCarbon hold onto air and water while making the perfect habitat for soil microbiology to flourish. In total, OurCarbon holds 34% of its own weight in water, reducing water needs in drought conditions. 

OurCarbon has Nitrogen and Phosphorous within it that releases slowly to soil and plants, allowing it to partially replace fertilizers.

OurCarbon has a similar density to soil, meaning that it will evenly distribute within soil and will not float to the surface during waterings.

With little to no waste and a distributed manufacturability, 3d printing allows for a new form of global production. OurCarbon pigment can be mixed directly into 3d printing filament through masterbatch compounding or through mixing into an extruder.
