Celium represents a breakthrough in textile production, combining sustainable practices with biotechnological innovation. Developed by Polybion, this premium cultivated cellulose is sourced from agro-industrial fruit waste, a byproduct usually discarded. This process not only diverts waste from landfills, reducing methane emissions and environmental impact, but also transforms it into a versatile and valuable textile that promotes a circular economy.
The production of Celium involves fermenting agro-industrial fruit waste with specific bacterial strains to produce a pure, crystalline cellulose material. Post-fermentation, the ‘Celium Membrane’ undergoes processes like stabilization, dyeing, graining, and embossing to enhance functionality and aesthetic appeal.
These treatments grant Celium exceptional durability, robustness, and a customizable texture, making it suitable for applications ranging from high fashion to industrial uses, thereby showcasing its broad adaptability.
Celium revolutionizes textile manufacturing by being completely animal-free and avoiding the synthetic chemicals and resource-intensive methods typical of traditional fabrics. Its production features minimal carbon output, efficient water use, and a closed-loop system that recycles all byproducts, establishing new standards for sustainable manufacturing.
The material’s design flexibility is key to its integration into existing production lines, demonstrated through its ability to be dyed, embossed, and finished using standard industry equipment. Celium’s development emphasizes local sourcing and production, which reduces transport emissions and supports local economies.
Each batch of Celium is unique, enhancing its luxury appeal and marketability as a sustainable product.
