About my Start-up
Plinius Labs develops and markets high-quality natural components for the food, personal care and materials market from biomass, which is all too often used as fuel source or for low value-added applications. We have more than 40 years of expertise in innovative green solutions. We continuously invest in R&D, eco-chemical know-how and advanced laboratory equipment. Thanks to our knowledge at the interface of plant materials and chemistry, we are able to upgrade side streams in various segments to full-fledged ingredients and materials for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food and materials.
Why your idea is a “winner"?:
The markets – food as wel as personal care and materials – are ready and eager for natural ingredients within a viable circular economy. We are able to supply high value components through combining various technologies (over different market segments).
What is your current or intended business/revenue model?:
Raw material waste streams remain poorly valued. However, the overall worldwide balance pushes natural resources to become increasingly valuable. From an abundant and high-quality biomass feedstock, we strive to replace petrochemical components with natural ingredients through our in-house developed reactive extraction process.
Do you have any Patent or IP registered (related to the solution that you are looking for an investment)?:
Plinius Labs developed a pretreatment method for a reactive extraction process allowing the production of natural flavours within the strict regulatory prescriptions. There are patents pending.
Has your technology already been implemented in any field/sector?:
Out of 3 main projects in Plinius Labs Ingredients, we are most advanced (TRL.5) in the scaling-up of a natural ingredient for the food market from a stable biomass feedstock in joint development and potentially production and co-branding with a large multinational company.
Which market and customer need(s)/problem(s) is (are) your products(s)/service(s) going to solve?:
We offer our ‘green’ chemical expertise to companies that currently use fine chemicals and are eager to switch to green alternatives. Independently, we research and develop our own natural and bio-based components for health & personal care, food and beverages as well as other consumer ingredients. This is how we try to make our contribution to a 'natural' and circular economy. At Plinius labs we aim to improve consumer products through natural product chemistry. Together, we aim for a more sustainable world.
We have a natural chemistry.
