About

Naturbeads is a University of Bath spin-out, incorporated in 2018 by Janet Scott, Davide Mattia and Giovanna Laudisio, that turns cellulose into biodegradable microspheres replacing plastic microbeads in cosmetics, life science, paints/coatings and industrial applications. The company delivers the same performance and cost as plastic microparticles without the lasting environmental footprint, and is scaling a first production plant, including a facility in Puglia, Italy.
