Bloom Biorenewables

Bloom Biorenewables develops sustainable biopolymers from biomass, transforming natural materials found in lignocellulosic biomass into alternatives to petroleum-derived chemicals. These biopolymers are used in nutraceuticals, cosmetics, bioplastics, food additives, biofuels, and functional textiles, offering properties including antioxidant, UV filter, antimicrobial, and antiviral capabilities. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Fribourg, Switzerland, Bloom Biorenewables has raised approximately $19.7M in Series A funding from investors including Breakthrough Energy, Amcor, Extantia, Lombard Odier, Btomorrow Ventures, Yokogawa, and FIT. The company's proprietary technology addresses the challenge of efficiently converting lignocellulose into valuable chemical building blocks by preventing the degradation of cellulose and lignin during processing, enabling the production of bio-based platform chemicals that can replace their fossil-derived counterparts in existing supply chains.
