Smobya

For centuries, fermentation has transformed food—now, it’s transforming materials. Our technology converts simple sugars into high-performance biomaterials, unlocking new possibilities for the alt-leather space, insulation materials, cosmetics and more. Smobya was founded to revolutionize material manufacturing, enabling six+ industries to move away from petrochemicals, synthetics, and plastics with a single proprietary technology. Our process upcycles food waste, reduces strain on land use, maximizes resource efficiency and produces functionally better, performance materials. We are first targeting the alternative leather space with more applications ahead.
