We create materials using bacterial-nanocellulose, an infinitely replenishable resource found in nature that provides strength, durability, and a premium texture. Our mission is to completely replace animal & plastic leather on planet Bucha Bio creates a novel biomaterial grown from infinitely renewable bacterial-nanocellulose. Strands of natural fibers interlock to form a high-performance textile with a luxuriously soft handfeel. Produced in weeks rather than months or years, use it in premium applications instead of animal leather, polyurethane, latex, vinyl, and so much more.
Our biomaterial’s expansive applications & unrestricted design potential are enabled by the distinguished team of scientists, artists, & entrepreneurs at Bucha Bio.
