Research Infographic – Microbial nanocellulose biotextiles for a circular materials economy

We’re delighted to share this fantastic infographic which explores the creation of a compostable bioleather with superior flame-retardance and low environmental impact. Their microbial nanocellulose leather has a significantly smaller carbon footprint than both synthetic leather and cotton, and marks a big step towards a circular materials economy. This paper was published in Issue 3 of Environmental Science: Advances. Read the entire open-access article here at:
