Plant-based biomaterials and compostable leather alternatives
Biophilica is a biomaterials company developing plastic-free alternatives to leather and synthetic adhesives from renewable plant feedstocks.
Its Treekind material combines lignocellulosic waste with an algae-derived binder to produce a compostable, leather-like sheet. The company also develops bio-based adhesives and custom materials for manufacturing applications.
Biophilica works with brands and industrial partners on material testing, product development and scaling processes for fashion, packaging and other uses.
