- suprlabs +VESUPRLABS +VE is a permanent coating of 99.9% pure silver on a textile substrate or other formats (foam, fabric, etc). It retains all the characteristics of the substrate, hence it can be used in any textile-related application with ease. Silver is irreversibly bound to the substrate and becomes a physical part of the base material.

- NuatanNuatan is a 100% biobased, biocompatible and biodegradable plastic. The material is petroleum free, and consists of cornstarch, sugar and cooking oil. Essentially, it’s a blend of two biopolymers, Polyacid Acid (PLA) and Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB). The material can be formed by injection moulding and 3D printing, biodegrades in 90 days in an industrial composter and is safe to eat.

- Coffee PanelsThese coffee panels are composite materials produced from coffee grounds and a biopolymer, polyactic acid or polylactide (PLA). Due to the characteristics of the materials used, these coffee composites have similar properties to MDF and may be machined by various techniques such as CNC, acquiring numerous forms and geometries reliefs. Coffee PLA composites are 100% biodegradable.
