About the Company
SpadXTech seeks to significantly reduce CO2 emissions through the manufacturing of various carbon-negative, cellulose-based materials. Through its material platform technology and versatility, SpadXTech can potentially impact the packaging, textiles, transportation, filtration, and the construction industries.
About the Solution
SpadXTech employs the power of microbes and synthetic biology to create these materials. The startup specifically utilizes cellulose fibers spun out by fast-growing microbes as the base material and applies several proprietary biotechnology tools to produce the various high-performance materials. The resulting materials are durable, strong, flexible, porous and can serve as thermal insulators for a multitude of applications.
