Biodegradable and Sustainable Bio-Based Ingredients via Fermentation

Bioweg combines biotechnology, material science, and molecular simulations to create advanced, sustainable, and bio-based performance with 100% animal- and GMO-free ingredients. These ingredients are scalable and produced without harsh chemicals, aligning with the needs of forward-thinking companies in the beauty, nutraceuticals, and food/beverage sectors. Bioweg's technology uses waste side streams, converting low-value by-products like molasses and vegetable peels into high-value products, supporting the transition to a circular economy. The company uses strain engineering and over 10,000 lab-scale experiments to identify high-yielding strains, optimizing them further through genetic engineering. Bioweg has also developed a patent-pending, zero-waste process for producing sustainable microbial cellulose via fermentation. This process is enhanced by downstream development and automation to ensure optimal quality and yield. Through molecular simulations, Bioweg customizes its products by analyzing the structural and thermodynamic properties of cellulose fibrils. The company’s bacterial cellulose, known for its purity and unique structural properties, is ideal for surface functionalization and adheres to green chemistry principles. Bioweg’s product lineup includes AgriWeg, RheoWeg, HydroWeg, and MicBeads, all developed using this innovative technology.
