About

BIOWEG is a biotechnology and material science company that develops bio-based, biodegradable ingredients designed to replace fossil-derived polymers and microplastics across multiple industries. It uses precision fermentation, green chemistry, and molecular simulation techniques to convert low-value biomass and food industry side streams into functional materials tailored for cosmetics, personal and home care formulations, agricultural coatings, and food applications. Its product lines include customizable bacterial cellulose-based micropowders, rheology modifiers, hydrocolloids, and agricultural emulsions that can serve as alternatives to acrylic polymers and non-degradable additives. The company’s platform supports a circular production process without animal-derived or harsh chemical inputs and aims to help customers reformulate products with sustainable, bio-based ingredients. BIOWEG collaborates with industrial partners on material innovation and continues to scale its production capabilities to meet evolving regulatory and market needs for biodegradable solutions.
