About this material

Kaumera is a (hydro)gel that is recovered from bacterial biomass, that is fed on industrial wastewater. The recovery of biopolymers from waste streams makes Kaumera a biobased and circular product. The product consists mainly of (glyco)protein and polysaccharides. Its diversity of biomolecules gives it a variety of functional groups, what gives the product unique characteristics to play with.
