Goodbye micro-plastics. Hello better tomorrow.
EcoFLEXY is a first-of-its-kind biofabricated powder cellulose that brings the force of nature to your products. Sustainable. Stable. Easily redispersed. This innovative ingredient with a mighty impact, comes in a wide range, each with different attributes ready to replace petrochemicals in your products.
Microplastics are multiplying by the minute.
And with every tick of the clock, the world edges closer to accepting them as an unavoidable part of life. Each of us unwilling participants. Accepting the status quo. Hoping someone else will fix it. Will make change happen. Because the truth is, the fight is overwhelming. But nothing worth doing was ever achieved without a fight. We are done hoping. We have the guts to do. Bringing groundbreaking ideas out of the drawer and into the world. And our tool for change is nature itself, bio-engineered for a more natural tomorrow. Because nature is not a damsel in distress, but a force to be reckoned with. Microplastics are multiplying by the minute. But we have the means to stop it.
Let’s change what’s natural with the force of nature.
Brilliant institutions support this fight
And our work is awarded worldwide
