MARKETS
We offer alternatives to various non-sustainable ingredients heavily used in cosmetics, homecare products, functional materials, food, nutraceuticals, plastics and fuels.
We provide an opportunity for our customers to bypass harmful petrochemicals and support the growing consumer trend in sustainability.
Cosmetics & Homecare Products
Our lignin products have great potential towards:
- Antioxidant
- UV filter
- Antimicrobial, antiviral
- Water-soluble
- Excellent emulsifier and dispersant
- Efficient in low concentrations
Relevant products:
Functional Textiles
Our cellulose is especially suitable for applications such as crystalline nanocellulose or microfibrillated cellulose.
- Highly crystalline fibres
- No harsh bleaching necessary
- Excellent purity
- No chemical modification of the cellulose structure
Relevant product:
Bioplastics
Blooms offers sustainable degradable Bioplastics (eg. polyester, polyurethane). These materials show :
- Excellent mechanical properties
- Excellent barrier properties
- Chemically recyclable from mixture of commodity plastics
- Functional profile (anti-UV, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiviral)
- Bisphenol-A (BPA) replacement
Relevant products:
Food Additives
Our biopolymer can be used as a sustainable ingredient in food products or depolymerized to yield high amounts of sustainable phenolic monomers with great potential as food additives as well.
- Water-soluble
- Tunable properties
- Excellent emulsifier and dispersant
- Fully bio-based flavours
- Safe colorants
Relevant products:
Nutraceuticals
Bloom’s technology delivers a pure, non-condensed lignin biopolymer of well-known structure. Due to its excellent nature-given properties, our biopolymer can be used as a sustainable nutraceutical ingredient.
- Powerful antioxidant
- Genotoxicity protection
- Gut health promoter
- Antiviral and antimicrobial properties
- Dietary fibre
Relevant products:
Biofuels
Bloom produces energy-dense compounds that can be used as sustainable fuels and fuel additives for heavy transportation purposes.
- Energy from non-edible biomass
- Tuneable properties
- Sulphur-free biofuels
- Low ash content (<0.5%)
