Biophilica - Analysis of bio-coatings as an alternative to PU-coatings for advanced product applications

Biophilica的专利皮革替代品Treekind(R)是100%生物基，不含石化产品，由绿色废物制成。解决优质100%生物基涂层的问题对于解决家具和汽车等需要疏水性和抗划伤性能的耐磨应用至关重要。进入这些市场将显著影响Biophilica的收入潜力。我们已经获得了两种不同类型的涂层，通过分析，它们可以进一步发展为生物pu或生物聚酯。2022年全球环保家具市场规模为432.6亿美元，2022-2030年复合年增长率为8.6% （GrandviewResearch-2022）。家具和汽车占全球纯素皮革市场的47% （GrandviewResearch-2019）。不含石化的材料对千禧一代很有吸引力，但很少见（素食经济学家）。Treekind(R)对寻求真正可持续皮革替代品的英国和国际品牌具有吸引力。我们正在通过与一些奢侈、经典、休闲品牌的合作，测试Treekind在制造和胶囊系列方面的表现。卓越的涂层将：-通过耐磨的iso沾水测试/湿摩擦测试/污垢测试，打开包括室内装潢和汽车在内的利润丰厚的市场-展示可持续和无pu材料的高性能-实现资源效率英国每年丢弃2200万件家具，其中大部分被填埋（北伦敦废物管理局）。每年有800万辆汽车被废弃（cartakeback.com-2023）。通过进入这些市场，Treekind(R)将取代增加英国和世界废物问题的非回收材料。Biophilica的奖项包括制造业未来奖、德雷伯奖、超细纤维创新挑战赛、女性创新。biophica是Fashion for Good和Cambridge Institute for Sustainable Leadership的一部分。在这个项目中，Biophilica将制作多个样品，然后进行表面iso测试、机械iso测试和化学分析。

Biophilica's patented leather alternative Treekind(R) is 100% biobased, petrochemical-free and made from green waste.Solving the problem of a superior 100% biobased coating is critical to unlock hard-wearing applications like furniture and auto, requiring hydrophobicity and anti-scratch performance. Entering these markets would significantly impact Biophilica's revenue potential.We have achieved two different types of coatings that, through analysis, could be developed further as a bio-PU or bio-polyester.The global eco-friendly furniture market size was worth USD 43.26 billion in 2022, with 8.6% CAGR from 2022-2030 (GrandviewResearch-2022). Furniture and auto accounted for 47% of the global vegan leather market (GrandviewResearch-2019).Petrochemical-free materials appeal to millennials, but are rare (Vegconomist). Treekind(R) is attractive to UK and international brands looking for truly sustainable leather alternatives.We are testing Treekind(R) in manufacturing and capsule collections through relationships with a number of luxury, classic, casual brands.A superior coating will:- Pass hard-wearing ISO-testing for water spotting/wet veslic rub testing/soiling unlock lucrative markets including upholstery and automotive- Demonstrate high performance of sustainable and PU-free materials- Achieve resource efficiencyAnnually, 22 million furniture pieces are discarded in the UK -- the majority going to landfill (TheNorthLondonWasteAuthority). 8 million cars are scrapped each year (cartakeback.com-2023). By entering these markets, Treekind(R) will replace non-recycled materials that add to the UK's and world's waste problem.Biophilica's awards include Manufacturing Futures, Drapers Award, Microfiber Innovation Challenge, Women in Innovation. Biophilica is part of Fashion for Good and Cambridge Institute for Sustainable Leadership.In this project, Biophilica will create multiple samples, followed by surface ISO-testing, mechanical ISO-testing, and chemical analysis.
