Ecoatex transforms agricultural and marine byproducts—such as nutshells, crop residues, and seaweed—into advanced cellulose-based materials using a patent-pending green-chemistry process.

The platform produces engineered cellulose materials, coating formulations, and specialty cellulose intermediates for packaging, coated materials, nonwovens, and other industrial applications.

By converting waste biomass into fully biodegradable, renewable materials that eliminate toxic chemicals and reduce water, energy, and carbon footprints, Ecoatex enables scalable, circular manufacturing using existing manufacturing equipment, helping manufacturers lower material costs, reduce reliance on fossil-based inputs, and adopt lower-impact alternatives without major process changes.
