What is Cellulotech?

Cellulotech is a material science company focusing on the most abundant organic compound on earth, cellulose. Our goal is to expand its applications and help several industries, such as packaging, to reach sustainability by replacing plastics or harmful chemicals while offering a similar or better cost/performance profile.

What is Cellulotech’s technology?

 Cellulotech’s main technology is called chromatogeny. It is a green chemistry process (no solvent involved). It was discovered in 1996 by our Chief Scientist, Daniel Samain. 

Depending on the substrate Cellulotech’s technology can provide strong hydrophobic properties (lotus-leaf effect or paper “goretex”) and also oxygen, vapor and grease barriers while preserving all the recyclability and biodegradability properties.

Cellulotech has made a process breakthrough to scale up this solution and owns several application and process patents.

How does it work?

We grafts long chain fatty acids on the OH groups on the specific surface of the substrate. 

How much does it cost?

The total cost of the process is estimated to be well below 0.1 cent per square meter.

 What kind of paper can we use?

Any type, recycled or not. What matters is the number of OH available and eventual additives. We can also treat final products such as corrugated cardboards and some 3D shapes.

Can it be recycled? 

Yes. Treated paper can be recycled (EN 13430) with usual paper/board streams. If they are not, they will biodegrade (EN 13432) without harming the environment.

Can the reagent be bio-sourced? 

Yes, the reagents are bio-sourced.

Is it safe for consumers?

Yes. The resulting molecule is already approved in several jurisdictions for food contact. 

Do you use PFAS’s?

Not at all. In fact we can help to get rid of PFAS’s.

Is it resistant to hot/cold content?

Yes.

Can we invest in Cellulotech?

We are currently fundraising. You can email us at invest@cellulotech.com

Can you provide samples?

Sure. Please contact us at info@cellulotech.com 

What is the carbon footprint?

A full life cycle analysis has still yet to be independently performed but we estimated it to reduce the carbon footprint by at least 20% and up to 90% depending on the material replaced.
