Which bio-based ingredients can be sourced from waste streams? How can I extract pectin from fruit peels? What can be added to chitin to improve its water barrier properties? Materiom AI (beta) is a chatbot designed to help you explore and discover bio-based ingredients, additives, and materials. It’s powered by Google's Gemini and backed by scientific literature. “In addition to providing directional guidance, it’s essentially a portal to 30 million open-access scientific documents,” said Jan A. Botha, Materiom CTO. Learn more: https://buff.ly/ET4VLlI Try it now: https://buff.ly/HP2hTLe (log in or register for free) #MateriomAI #AI #chatbot #biobased #materials #innovation

Elastane is used in many clothes for elasticity & comfort. 👕The challenge: Elastane-containing garments shed microplastics into our waterways. And even the tiniest percentage of elastane makes fabrics challenging – if not impossible – to recycle. 💡The opportunity: Innovators around the world are developing high-performance bio-based stretch fabric alternatives that pose fewer environmental concerns and support recyclability.

The future of materials is being shaped by those who experiment, document, and share their discoveries. Every step forward—big or small—helps build a more regenerative and collaborative world. Eleanor MacMillan, textiles design graduate, shares her latest milestone: "I created a personal library of biomaterials and have just released my first bio-zine. It captures my material journey, recipes I’ve experimented with, insights on industry topics, and a space for other designers to showcase their work." By documenting and sharing her process, Eleanor is making biomaterial knowledge more accessible and fostering collaboration within the field. We’re inspired by her dedication! Scroll through for a preview of her bio-zine. Do you have a story of progress—big or small? We’d love to help share it.

At #ATRIUM, we’re combining cutting-edge #technology with #ecofriendly materials to revolutionize construction. As the project coordinator, our partner Aitiip Centro Tecnológico is also leading the development and scaling of #biobased materials for #sustainable building solutions. 🔬 So far, Aitiip has tested bioplastics from #renewable sources and is now exploring new bio-based alternatives. These materials will be reinforced with natural fibers like flax and hemp, enhancing strength and durability. 🖨️ Aitiip is also applying large-scale 3D printing, a fast and efficient manufacturing process that enables the #production of complex, high-performance components. This technology will be used to create the water collection systems for ATRIUM’s Green Wall, a key feature for #sustainable urban #design. Stay tuned as we continue #BuildingTomorrow with bio-based #innovation! 🌍 The project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe Framework Programme under Grant Agreement No 101135031and co-funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) under the UK government’s Horizon Europe funding guarantee.   Aitiip Centro Tecnológico | Wood K plus - Kompetenzzentrum Holz GmbH | hartika - wood composite system | Tecnopackaging | SQIM| Centexbel | Ben-Gurion University of the Negev | CIRCE - Centro Tecnológico | Instytut Techniki Budowlanej | ENCO Engineering and Consulting srl | Fundación Ibercivis | Materiom | alchemia-nova

Big news: we’ve been selected for Fast Forward's 2025 Accelerator! We're proud to be one of 10 innovative tech nonprofits chosen for the program.

The future of sustainable materials isn't built overnight - it's shaped through countless experiments and iterations, with mini and major breakthroughs along the way. Lite-1, a biodesign venture revolutionising how we produce colour, shares their recent milestone: "We've successfully created 3 colours with microbes, in a circular system. Black is one of the most prominent toxic colours in our world, so having a new form of it will be vital to the clean transition" - Kellan Hannah. Their work exemplifies how biotechnology can transform traditional manufacturing processes, offering sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based dyes that have long dominated the textile industry. By harnessing the power of microorganisms, they're proving that nature holds the key to cleaner, safer colour production. Got your own progress story to share? Whether it's a major milestone or a small step forward, we want to hear about it.
