Polybion公司宣布其全球首家细菌纤维素工厂正在扩大生产规模，并成功完成由Blue Horizon领投的440万美元a轮融资。Polybion正利用这笔资金扩大碳中性生物制造设施，加大研发力度，并将Celium应用于消费品。在最大产能下，Polybion的太阳能工业规模细菌纤维素制造设施每年将生产110万平方英尺的公司专有生物纺织品Celium。Celium是Polybion计划制造的一系列新型生物材料中的第一种。由地球上最丰富和最通用的材料——纤维素——制成的Celium是一种无动物皮革替代品，具有独特的高性能特性，将确保它成为时尚、运动服装和汽车应用的新金标准材料。Polybion预计到2023年第三季度达到每年Celium的最大生产能力，以满足目前全球品牌合作的需求。Polybion联合创始人兼首席执行官阿克塞尔Gómez-Ortigoza表示:“Celium是一种可持续的动物纺织品和石油衍生合成材料的替代品，扩大生产规模是Polybion为21世纪的设计师和材料工程师带来性能和可能性的使命迈出的一大步。”“我们很高兴与蓝色地平线合作，因为我们在加速可持续发展和循环经济方面有着共同的愿景。此外，有蓝色地平线作为合作伙伴，我们可以扩大新的举措，以建立我们的品牌和网络。”Polybion宣布其全球首家细菌纤维素工厂正在扩大生产，并成功完成由Blue Horizon领投的440万美元a轮融资。 Polybion is using the funds to expand the carbon-neutral bio-manufacturing facility, increase research and development efforts, and deploy Celium into consumer goods. “We are happy to partner with Polybion and join Alexis, Axel, and the rest of this great team on their journey to create new and fully sustainable materials. Consumers, brands and manufacturers are all seeking novel, sustainable materials. Few other companies have moved as quickly as Polybion to scale production of a completely circular material,” Tanmay Annachhatre, Blue Horizon principal, said. "Polybion's Celium has resonated with forward-thinking, global consumer brands across multiple sectors," said Alexis Gómez-Ortigoza, Polybion co-founder and chief financial officer. "With our expanded manufacturing capabilities, we are enhancing our ability to work with some of the world's most iconic global consumer brands while reducing carbon emissions and displacing the animal-derived leather value chain. Our goal is to enhance these brands' ability to accelerate the development of bio assembled products, increase sustainability, and accelerate the path toward the circular economy."
