Start a briefThe product
BrightBio, bio-coatings for textiles.
Consumers and brands should not have to choose between toxic performance and weak eco-alternatives. BrightBio creates fully customisable materials without compromising on design or performance.
A platform rather than a single formula. The performance set is chosen, not fixed, then validated on your own material before anything changes on the line.
- Water repellent
- Wind proof
- Abrasion resistant
- Direct printing
- UV stable
- Heat sealable
Each property is a grade choice, verified on your own material.

Innovation
More than a coating.
Inspired by Arctic nature, BrightBio is a green chemistry platform. It turns waste into high-performance materials, and the list of what it can start from keeps growing.
- Agricultural side streams. Non-edible residues refined into the building blocks of the coating.
- Marine algae. A marine side stream, giving a second source beyond agriculture.
- Captured carbon. Carbon captured from industrial emissions, turned into usable, scalable material.
