Advanced Cellulosic
Materials
Ecoatex develops advanced cellulosic materials from agricultural plant biomass and seaweeds using a closed-loop, low-impact process designed for scalability, consistency, and material performance. By converting underutilized biomass into cellulose, lignin, and nanocellulose building blocks, Ecoatex creates a flexible platform for engineering next-generation material systems across multiple formats.
​
These regenerated cellulosic components enable plastic-free, biodegradable materials that deliver durability, functionality, and process compatibility with existing textile, medical, and industrial manufacturing infrastructure. Through this platform-based approach, Ecoatex provides scalable alternatives to fossil-based polymers while reducing microplastic pollution and lowering the environmental footprint of material production.
Our approach combines green chemistry, materials science, and nanoscale engineering
to deliver strength, durability, and consistency without reliance on petrochemical additives, forest-derived pulp, or persistent synthetic chemicals.
Ecoatex begins with renewable agricultural plant biomass and seaweeds, transforming these feedstocks into purified cellulose, lignin, and nanocellulose through a proprietary, closed-loop process.
This process is designed to be feedstock-flexible, enabling consistent material quality across diverse biomass sources while minimizing waste, water use, and chemical inputs.
​
By avoiding forest-based cellulose and petroleum-derived intermediates, Ecoatex materials reduce environmental impact while maintaining the performance required for industrial applications.
FROM BIOMASS TO
Cellulosic Building Blocks
Material performance is defined at the nanoscale.
Ecoatex engineers cellulose down to the nanocellulose level, where precise control over particle size, surface area, and dispersion enables enhanced mechanical strength and tunable material properties.
Nano-crystalline cellulose derived from renewable biomass
Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) is a key building block in Ecoatex’s advanced cellulosic materials platform.
Derived from renewable biomass, nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) consists of rod-like crystalline cellulose nanoparticles with high stiffness and a large surface area. NCC dispersions can reinforce bio-based materials by improving strength and dimensional stability while maintaining lightweight, biodegradable performance.
​
By integrating NCC into engineered cellulose systems, Ecoatex can tune mechanical properties and surface interactions without relying on fossil-derived polymers or persistent chemical additives. NCC supports the development of high-performance composites, coatings-free films, and reinforced material formats designed for circularity and responsible end-of-life.
Nano-fibrillated cellulose engineered from renewable biomass
Nano-fibrillated cellulose (NFC) consists of nanoscale cellulose fibers with high aspect
ratios and extensive hydrogen-bonded networks.
This morphology imparts enhanced mechanical strength, flexibility, and surface functionality compared to conventional cellulose materials. The interconnected fibrous structure visible in the image reflects the material’s ability to form robust, lightweight networks without synthetic binders.
​
Ecoatex produces nano-fibrillated cellulose from renewable biomass as part of its advanced cellulosic platform, enabling scalable, bio-based materials that replace fossil-derived polymers across multiple industrial applications.
Designed for Performance and Scalability.
Our advanced cellulosic materials are engineered to meet real-world performance requirements while remaining biodegradable and circular by design.
​
Ecoatex’s advanced cellulosic platform enables precise control over material composition and internal structure, allowing performance characteristics to be adjusted for a wide range of end uses. By engineering cellulose-based building blocks at the material system level, Ecoatex designs materials that balance strength, flexibility, durability, and processability without relying on fossil-based polymers or permanent chemical additives.
​
This approach allows Ecoatex to support diverse application requirements across textile, medical, and industrial sectors while maintaining scalability, safety, and circular end-of-life pathways.

By tuning composition and structure, Ecoatex can tailor properties for different downstream material systems.
Advanced Cellulosic Materials form the foundation of Ecoatex's material platform.
From biomass to building blocks, Ecoatex is redefining how sustainable materials are designed, engineered, and scaled.
These building blocks are integrated into multiple downstream material families, including NutFiber™ nonwovens and NutLeather™ leather alternatives, enabling diverse applications from a single, scalable technology base.
​
This platform approach allows Ecoatex to address multiple markets while maintaining consistent environmental and performance benefits.
