The challenge

Many everyday products rely on petrochemical-based ingredients that contribute to microplastic pollution, toxic waste, and high carbon emissions. Even plant-based cellulose alternatives often require resource-intensive harvesting and heavy chemical processing, making them difficult to scale sustainably. Industries like personal care urgently need high-performance materials that don’t damage the planet.

The solution

Cellugy biofabricates pure cellulose through microbial fermentation, producing EcoFLEXY — a first-of-its-kind powder cellulose that brings the force of nature to product formulations. Renewable, biodegradable, and fossil-free, EcoFLEXY replaces petrochemical ingredients without compromising performance. It is adaptable, stable, and easily redispersed, making it a powerful tool for sustainable innovation that meets industry needs and customer expectations while supporting a fully circular materials future.
