Bacterial Cellulose
Nanofibrous Nanoporous Nanocellulose
Environment friendly, nano-sized, sustainable, halal, and natural bacterial cellulose sheets, hydrogels, and powders synthesized using low-energy, agricultural waste-based dark fermentation.
Description
Bacterial Cellulose provides a plan for synthesizing raw bacterial cellulose sheets, hydrogels, powders, and dry sheets sustainably. Bulk production has been proven in IRCBM labs through trial scale-up production. The process utilizes sustainable and eco-friendly fermentation using renewable resources such as sugar or agricultural by-products, running without any industrial machinery in plastic or glass containers in the dark. It offers easy purification and processing, and has no competitors in Pakistan.
