SubsidieMeestersTechnology for 3D fibrous eco materials
Developing innovative 3D eco fibrous materials from cellulose to replace fossil-based products, targeting markets like biodegradable growing media and sustainable packaging.
Projectdetails
Introduction
We create eco fibrous-materials alternative to fossil-based materials. For the first time ever, we are adding a 3rd dimension to paper- or textile-like materials.
Technology Overview
We bond 3D structures from cellulose fibres, while preserving environmentally-friendly properties given by nature. This innovation allows us to achieve a 100% eco material with external shapes and internal densities that have not been possible yet.
Applications
Our technology has been tested in various applications, including:
- Thermal/sound insulations
- Packaging
- Air filters
The aggregated market opportunity is over $700 billion.
Market Insights
We would not replace all current products, and some applications of plastics can be ecologically valid (post-recycling). However, many of these markets need to find eco alternatives. A good example is the use of lightweight cellulose 3D structures instead of difficult-to-recycle polystyrene in packaging.
Product-Market Fit
The first product-market fit is biodegradable growing media (soilless substrates) for plant cultivation, due to the increase of investments in Vertical Farms during COVID times.
