We help companies find valuable uses for waste and side-streams, develop new materials and select materials for existing products. Every direction is assessed against technical feasibility, environmental impact, regulatory requirements and economic viability.
Bring us waste, a material idea or a product you want to improve. We match the scope of work to your starting point and project goal.
WALNUT SHELLS / NUTICO.BIOWe explore the potential of waste and side-streams — from recovering valuable ingredients to their use in materials, components and finished products. We assess which routes make environmental, technical, regulatory and economic sense.
Explore Waste → Value ↗
R&D / PROTOTYPINGWe deliver contract R&D covering material formulation, samples and prototypes, testing, validation and preparation for pilot trials and scale-up.
Explore Material Development ↗
APPLICATION CONTEXT / NUTICO.BIOWe identify and compare commercially available materials, then recommend the options that best fit product requirements, environmental goals and manufacturing constraints. B2M Studio can extend the work into product design.
Explore Material Transition ↗We start by understanding the stream’s properties and the requirements of potential applications. We assess what is worth recovering, processing or using, and the conditions needed to make the selected route viable.
You have waste or a side-stream and want to find a valuable use for it — for example, organic residues, packaging waste, textile offcuts or secondary raw materials.
We characterise waste or side-streams, identify valuable ingredients and potential applications. We compare selected routes against technical feasibility, environmental impact, regulatory requirements and economic viability.
The first stage gives you an assessment of the stream’s potential, recommendations for possible applications and a plan for validating the most promising routes. Depending on the project goal, subsequent stages may include recovery or processing trials, samples, a prototype or a demonstrator.
With the feedstock’s origin, volume, variability and current use or disposal route.
We deliver contract research and development. Start with a need, an idea or an existing sample.
You need a new material or further development of a solution that has not yet reached the required performance or scale.
Examples include a new formulation or coating, specific performance requirements, or a sample that needs further development.
We develop or modify material formulations, prepare samples and prototypes, and validate performance in the intended application.
Bio2Materials has in-house laboratory facilities and equipment for material development, sample preparation and testing. We extend these capabilities through collaborations with research centres in Poland and across Europe. When a material is ready to move beyond laboratory scale, we work with industrial partners to run pilot and scale-up trials under conditions corresponding to target production processes.
Depending on the project stage, you receive samples or a prototype, test results and recommendations for further work. If the results justify continued development, we also prepare a plan for moving to pilot trials and further scale-up.
With the application, required properties, cost constraints and current development stage.
At Bio2Materials, we identify and compare commercially available materials to find options that better meet your product requirements and environmental goals. We consider performance, environmental impact, regulatory requirements, cost and compatibility with existing manufacturing processes.
You have a product and need a commercially available material that better meets its performance requirements and environmental goals.
Goals may include improving durability, increasing recycled content or making recycling easier.
We define product requirements, identify alternatives and compare materials and suppliers. We establish what needs to be verified with samples and in the intended application.
Depending on scope, you receive a shortlist of suitable materials, a comparison of available options, a recommended material and a plan for further validation.
With the current material, product requirements, the desired improvement and cost and production constraints.
If a material change creates an opportunity to improve the product, our B2M Studio team can refine its design or create a new version using innovative materials. This extends material selection into product design.
Explore B2M Studio’s design services ↗NUTICO™ is a leather alternative developed and commercialised by Bio2Materials using cocoa husks and walnut shells. It shows how we connect side-stream utilisation with the development of new materials and their applications.
Develop a leather alternative using organic waste and side-streams, with biodegradability and reduced production impact among the project goals.

Building on the experience gained through NUTICO™, Bio2Materials is expanding its R&D into new material technologies based on bio-derived feedstocks. We develop them for specific applications and collaboration with industry.
Coating-forming technologies for textiles and other substrates, being developed as potential alternatives to PVC with an increased share of bio-derived feedstocks.
Technologies providing water protection, controlled release and barrier properties, with potential applications in packaging, fertilisers and other sectors.
Both technologies are currently in development. If you would like to evaluate their potential in a specific product or process, get in touch.
Whether you are finding a use for feedstock, developing a new material or changing a material in a product, we connect technical requirements with environmental, regulatory and economic considerations.
We understand your starting point, requirements and constraints. Together, we agree the scope and success criteria.
We match the work to your challenge: comparing solutions, developing materials or validating a material in its intended application.
You receive findings and a clear recommendation to guide solution selection or further development.
Explore example application areas and the types of material challenges we can address. We tailor the scope to your product, process and project goals.
Organic residues and valuable ingredients.
Waste streams, protective elements and material changes.
New uses for recovered feedstocks.
Offcuts, formulations and functional finishes.
Upholstery, surfaces and components.
Automotive, aviation and marine interiors.
Bags, footwear and product details.
Panels, cladding and finishes.
The sectors above are examples, not a closed list of collaboration areas. If you are working on a material challenge, looking for a use for a side-stream or searching for a better material for a product in another industry, get in touch. We will assess how Bio2Materials can support your project.
A material’s value depends on its properties, application and implementation potential. That is why we approach your project from four complementary perspectives.
We compare feedstocks, available materials and technologies to narrow the selection to options that match project requirements.
We connect material properties with product function, aesthetics and use. Collaboration with B2M Studio can extend the project into product design.
We translate requirements into formulations, samples and test results. Successive iterations establish whether the solution meets agreed criteria.
We consider processing, feedstock availability, costs and repeatability to identify the conditions needed to move from a sample to a pilot.

A few sentences are enough. You do not need a finished solution or a detailed brief.
