Zamia Composite develops high-performance bio-based composite materials by transforming agricultural waste into sustainable raw materials for injection molding, extrusion, and additive manufacturing. The company provides low-carbon, recyclable alternatives for the automotive, packaging, construction, and consumer goods industries, supporting the transition to a circular economy.

Posamas advances the circular bioeconomy by transforming wine-making byproducts into multifunctional, antioxidant-rich bioactive ingredients for the functional food and natural cosmetics industries. By upcycling grape pomace instead of discarding it, we reduce organic waste, help prevent methane emissions, and extend the value and life cycle of local agricultural resources. Our science-based ingredients create value from what was once considered waste while supporting both human health and environmental sustainability. Beyond environmental impact, Posamas strengthens local bioeconomy value chains by creating new income opportunities for women and rural communities involved in agriculture, processing, and innovation, contributing to a more resilient and inclusive circular economy.

ChamBio is developing microalgae-based chitosan as a sustainable, non-animal, and climate-independent alternative to conventional crustacean-derived chitosan. Current chitosan production relies on seasonal marine waste streams and chemically intensive extraction processes, resulting in limitations in supply-chain stability, scalability, traceability, and access to vegan, halal, and kosher markets. ChamBio extracts chitosan directly from microalgal biomass under mild, environmentally compatible conditions, avoiding the harsh chemical treatments required by conventional production. The process is integrated into a circular biorefinery that also valorizes lipids and proteins, maximizing biomass utilization. It is designed as a scalable industrial process based on standard extraction, separation, and purification operations, enabling straightforward transfer from laboratory to pilot and industrial scale without major process redesign. The technology has reached TRL 4 and has demonstrated purity, solubility, and structural characteristics comparable to commercial chitosan.

Agripoli develops sustainable alternatives to fossil-based plastics by transforming agricultural biomass into bioplastic raw materials. As the demand for low-carbon materials grows and the environmental impacts of plastic waste become increasingly urgent, the company provides innovative solutions that support a more sustainable materials industry.
