Our Technology

At Naturbeads, we combine chemical innovation and process engineering to transform cellulose — the most abundant biopolymer on Earth — into high-performance biodegradable particles that can replace microplastics across industries.

From Natural Cellulose to Precision Microspheres

Our patented process begins with cellulose — what trees are made of. Using a unique green-solvent system, we dissolve cellulose fibers and reform them into perfectly spherical, uniform beads without altering their chemical structure. This preserves biodegradability and safety while delivering the performance and consistency demanded by industrial applications.

Innovation Rooted in Chemistry and Engineering

Our breakthrough lies in combining solvent innovation with membrane emulsification and phase inversion — a process that ensures complete control over particle size, porosity, and surface texture.

The result: high-performance beads that match plastic properties at a competitive cost and environmental footprint.

Patented Process

Unique combination of solvent chemistry and membrane emulsification.

Controlled Parameters

Adjustable size (1–50 µm), porosity, and roughness for any formulation.

High Throughput

Continuous process capable of industrial-scale production.

Sustainable Impact — From Lab Innovation to Industrial Production

Our process is continuous, closed-loop, and engineered for maximum efficiency at every stage. All solvents are recovered and reused, minimizing waste and energy consumption while maintaining consistent quality. This approach not only reduces environmental impact but also ensures that our patented cellulose bead production remains scalable — from pilot testing to full industrial capacity. Independent life-cycle analyses confirm a dramatically lower carbon and material footprint compared to conventional microplastics manufacturing.
