At Roylinx, agricultural by-products such as sawdust and nut shells are seen not as low-value waste, but as valuable resources. Roylinx transforms these materials into 100% bio-based, multifunctional alternatives to plastics and synthetic composites. Their patented material platform eliminates microplastics, reduces production energy, and delivers a unique combination of properties - such as insulation, fire resistance, sound absorption, and shape-shifting – all within a single material.

Roylinx focuses on industrial biotechnology and sustainable biomaterials, using a low-energy, ambient process to convert agricultural by-products into high-value, multifunctional materials. What makes their technology stand out is the rare combination of functionalities; mechanical strength, 3D printability, water absorbency, and protective properties - integrated into one fully circular material solution.

Their plant-based products are suitable for cosmetic and food packaging, with a growing pipeline for construction applications. Materials can be supplied as raw biomaterials or as customized components tailored to customer needs.

By joining Planet B.io, Roylinx aims to connect with innovators, mentors, and partners in the bioeconomy.  Through our network, they aim to accelerate adoption of sustainable biomaterials, gain insights into industrial scaling, and contribute by sharing their expertise in circular materials and multifunctional bio-based solutions, inspiring broader uptake of environmentally responsible technologies.

Plastilose is a Dutch startup developing sustainable, PFAS- and microplastic-free disposable products made from bacterial cellulose. The company focuses on high-impact healthcare applications, where conventional plastic products often lack viable sustainable alternatives. By using residual biomass streams and a circular production model, Plastilose delivers functional, safe, and scalable disposables that match the performance and price of plastic, while drastically reducing environmental impact.

Operating at the intersection of industrial biotechnology and materials innovation, Plastilose uses fermentation processes to transform bacterial cellulose into fully plastic-free products. Their technology is unique in that it combines circular feedstocks with strict healthcare requirements, resulting in compostable, medically safe disposables that are cost-competitive at scale.

Plastilose’s first product is a disposable cup for hospitals and care institutions, designed as a drop-in replacement for polypropylene cups, offering the same usability without plastic waste or harmful additives.

The team joined Planet B.io to accelerate the scale-up and industrialization of their technology within a strong biotech ecosystem. They aim to validate their production processes, learn from fellow founders, and contribute their experience in circular product development, healthcare validation, and market-driven sustainability.
