Active - Reference to Impossible Materials
Impossible Materials provides businesses with plant-based formulation ingredients to enable them more safe and sustainable product formulations and working towards a circular economy. Our first product is a cellulose white pigment. The current market leader, titanium dioxide, has recently been classified as carcinogenic and is being banned across Europe in the food sector threatening all health-sensitive industries. We initially sell to food, pharma and cosmetic sectors. Our USPs will especially serve as an enabler for plant-based foods and diary products. Further extension potential lies in paint, coatings and inks. Additionally our process has the potential to save million tons CO2 emissions at scale.
