How can high-performance, bio-based, and recyclable leather-like materials be produced? The EU project coordinated by DITF uses efficient biotech production routes for bacterial cellulose, cyanophycin, and bacterial pigments.

Fibers made from bio-based plastics reduce dependence on fossil raw materials and promote the circular economy. The covalent bonding of flame-retardant additives can open the way for these fibers to enter the mass market.
