Our patent pending microbial weaving process uses bacteria to 'weave' customizable bio-textiles and composites.
ABOUT
Our goal is to provide truly sustainable + inspiring cellulose-based alternatives to reduce the industry’s dependence on petrochemical-derived materials—without sacrificing its creativity.
Until our materials are available for consumer-use, we offer R&D and consultation services to help brands make better material choices. We design and develop materials and products aimed at reducing environmental impact, improving awareness about sustainable practices, and contributing to the circular economy.
Partnering with brands and organisations who share our values, we’re dedicated to building more sustainable material ecosystems and enabling them to thrive.
