Bucha Bio replaces the unsustainable leather and plastic leather industries by providing a novel biomaterial made from bacterial-nanocellulose. The material provides durability, strength without compromising on the premium texture. It is then treated with all-natural dyes and textures.
Furthermore, unlike options like animal leather, latex, polyurethane, and vinyl that take up to years and extensive production processes, this novel biomaterial is produced in a short span of a few weeks. This makes Bucha Bio more sustainable and scalable than pre-existing options. The material is grown in vertical farms, striving towards saving energy, space, and streamlining the production process. The materials use little water and emit no greenhouse gases or toxic waste products in their production process. Bucha Bio uses natural dyes and other plant-based ingredients to form a 100% bio-based composite biomaterial.
Natural fiber strands are interlocked to create a high-performance textile that replicates the feel of animal leather. The company also provides material samples for users to experience it firsthand. They are committed to producing a sustainable, scalable biomaterial design. Bucha Bio’s product has proven to be water-resistant, sunlight-resistant, scratch-resistant, and flame-resistant, among many other features. Additionally, the materials have multiple applications including nonwoven biotextiles, packaging materials, and hard biocomposites like buttons or zippers. Having partnered with SOSV IndieBio, Bucha Bio intends to allow its innovative products to grow with unrestricted design potential.
