Sustainable solutions for a green planet
"Big results require big ambitions"

At Naturbeads we replace polluting microplastics with natural and biodegradable microspheres made from cellulose – what trees are made of.
It's estimated that every year more than 2,000,000 tons of microplastics are added to many products we use every day like cosmetics, detergents, adhesives, paints and more. Often, at the end of their life, they end up in the oceans and the environment, where they persist for centuries because they are not biodegradable. Microplastics have been found from the top of the Arctic Mountains, to the depths of the Mariana Trench and anywhere in between including ourselves.
Founded in 2018, our incredible team of scientists and engineers has worked tirelessly to scale up a unique product that has been successfully tested to replace microplastics in multiple applications. We are one of the few companies addressing microplastics pollution and after extensive testing with our industrial partners we are now ready to build our first production plant (expected Q1 2025)
A young and dynamic organisation with a passion for innovation
Every single employee in our team is driven by the realisation that if we want to leave to future generations a planet to live in, we need to change the way we interact with the nature surrounding us. Using circular, renewable, sustainable and natural resources is the only way forward.
As a team, each one of us, is committing to this goal - we are investing all our energies, our personal ambitions, our credibility and everyday efforts in making sure that our technology gains the trust and the appreciation of our clients.
Today we have developed a unique technology, offering a brilliant innovative solution to reduce carbon generating plastic usage in favour of cellulose, a material which conjugates unique mechanical and chemical characteristics with the same biodegradability of a tree's leaf.
We want our journey to be your journey and we look forward to accelerating our market development with you.
Our Commitment
Naturbeads offers cellulose solutions for a green planet. Our commitment to sustainability does not end with our products but extends to sourcing our feedstock materials from certified forestry or agricultural waste, licensing an energy efficient manufacturing process, and using non-toxic solvents which we recycle.
