Biomimicry

Spintex is a UK-based company developing next-generation materials inspired by spider silk. By mimicking nature’s designs, the company aims to transform traditional textile manufacturing, which often relies on petrochemicals, high energy use, and unsustainably sourced raw materials. Spintex’s innovative technology replicates the spider’s unique fiber-spinning process, creating fibers at room temperature by pulling from a liquid protein gel—without the use of harsh chemicals. This process is far more efficient than producing plastic fibers, with water as the only byproduct.

A technology developed by Sudoc, a company that aims to replace toxic chemicals with toxin-free chemical options for wastewater disposal treatments. Sudoc specializes in TAML (Tetramic Acid Metal-Ligand) molecules to make chemical reactions exponentially more powerful. TAML® catalysis is characterized by premier catalytic functions with self-decomposing mechanisms. It is most environmentally effective when used with hydrogen peroxide -- a chemical made up of hydrogen and oxygen used by our bodies to oxidize toxic compounds and chemicals.
