6. Waste is the New Gold: How Polybion Grows Luxury Biomaterials Part 1
22 december 2022 · 38 min
Episode Description: Lees meer
Polybion is a company that produces nano cellulose, a biomaterial made by bacteria, for use in textiles and other industries. The company has built the first manufacturing plant for bacterial scale in the world for textile applications and is working on scaling production to meet the demand for millions of square feet of the material per year. Polybion is targeting brands that are interested in using the material as an alternative to leather and plastic, and is focused on making its facility a zero-waste operation that runs on solar power and reuses water. According to co-founder Axel Gómez-Ortigoza, biomaterials will start being used commercially in specific industries within the next 3-5 years and will see widespread adoption in the next 10 years. After 30 years, he predicts that biomaterials will become the standard, with more than 80% market share across different industries. He also believes that biotechnology will be used to create ultra-local, self-sustaining systems in cities of the future, which will be necessary for colonizing other planets like Mars.
