You ever stopped to think what your shampoo, sneaker, or cosmetic cream might secretly contain? Behind the glossy label and the clever marketing, many consumer products are beginning to use biomaterials that come from animals — collagen in lotions, gelatin in capsules, keratin in hair-care, […]
Smart biomaterials are like tiny, responsive actors you place inside the human body to do a job: deliver a drug at the right time, stiffen then soften as tissue heals, or sense a change and respond. But nothing you put inside should act like a […]
If you think of tissue engineering as building a house for cells, biomaterial scaffolds are the scaffoldings, the framing, and sometimes the insulation all at once. Their job is to support cells, shape tissues, and either stay in place for a long time or disappear […]
Why are we even asking whether leftover crop waste can replace plastic? Because the world is waking up to the cost of cheap plastics — not just the price tag on a grocery bag but the damage to oceans, soil, human health, and the climate. […]
Scaling biomaterials made by microbes sounds like a dream come true: tiny living factories converting sugars, waste, or even carbon dioxide into plastics, fibers, adhesives, or medical materials. But anybody who has tried to grow something in a lab and then build a factory knows […]
Why do investors sniff around biomaterials one minute and back away the next? Because the promise is huge and the path is messy. Commercial biomaterials — think plastics from plants, fibers from agricultural waste, or mycelium-based foams — offer climate-friendly, brand-friendly alternatives to traditional materials. […]
Standards are the unsung heroes behind products you trust. When you buy a phone case, a coffee cup, or a pair of sneakers, you assume the material won’t fall apart, emit toxic fumes, or ruin the recycling stream. For commercial biomaterials — those made from […]
Have you noticed how construction is changing? New materials are showing up on job sites that claim to be “bio-based,” “compostable,” or “carbon-negative.” That sounds exciting — but does swapping a traditional material for a commercial biomaterial actually help make buildings circular? In short: yes […]
Have you ever tried to build something brilliant only to find the parts you need arrive late, wrong, or not at all? That’s the supply-chain story for many biomaterial startups. Making a shiny sustainable material in the lab is one thing; getting tons of consistent, […]
Starting a business around biomaterials for textiles is thrilling. You imagine fashionable garments, sustainable labels, and headlines saying your startup saved the planet one fabric at a time. But dreams don’t pay bills; validated business models do. Validation is the practical work of proving that […]
