“Feeding bacteria with fruit waste to cultivate Celium™, a premium customisable cellulose bio-textile that can be produced at scale”
– Project in one sentence
Celium™ by Polybion is a groundbreaking biomaterial crafted from agro-industrial fruit waste, representing a transformative shift from traditional resource extraction to regenerative cultivation. By harnessing the power of bacteria to convert leftover fruit into Premium Cultivated Cellulose, Polybion™ tackles environmental challenges such as livestock farming, food waste, and plastic pollution, while pioneering a circular and eco-friendly manufacturing model. Developed at FOAK I, the world’s first bacterial cellulose production facility, Celium™ offers scalability with minimal infrastructure, utilising existing fermentation technology to produce a versatile, vegan, and organic textile. With customizable colour, texture, and water resistance, each piece of Celium™ is as unique as a fingerprint, providing a luxurious and sustainable alternative for the future. This innovation exemplifies Polybion™’s commitment to leveraging biology to address global challenges, marking a significant step towards a more sustainable and circular economy.
