About

Naturbeads is a sustainability materials startup founded in 2018 as a spin-out from the University of Bath. The company develops and commercializes a biodegradable, cellulose-based alternative to harmful microplastics. They use a patented process to refine cellulose into perfectly round microspheres that offer the same performance and cost as plastic microbeads but are 100% biodegradable. Naturbeads' technology can be used in a wide range of industries, including cosmetics, paints, coatings, detergents, adhesives, softeners, and biomedical devices. The company has established a production plant in southern Italy to scale its manufacturing and is anticipating increased demand due to upcoming EU regulations on microplastic use.
