Soft materials reinvented – without animals and plastics
The linear model of material manufacturing is broken. Survival on earth and in space requires switching to a circular model
Biomanufacturing was poised to offer solutions — but slow, inefficient processes held it back. NanoTwine™ changes that.
Introducing NanoTwine™
Stronger than leather, better than plastic – a multi-vertical material technology to displace plastic- and animal-based materials across industries.
The tech
Our smart fermentation platform powered by our unique bioprocess is democratizing access to versatile nanocellulose sheets bringing radically better materials to earth and beyond.
- No need for massive bioreactors — scale efficiently at a fraction of the size and capital cost
- Faster fermentation, higher productivity
- Cutting production costs by more than 70%
The process
1. Upcycle food waste
Using food waste as feedstock for our microbes.
2. Grow the cells
Growing nano-cellulose through a fermentation process.
3. Cells convert waste into nanocellulose sheets
Harvesting, purifying, and coloring the nano-cellulose.
4. Processing tailored to different use cases
Functionalizing and finishing the material with a plastic-free coating.
