Traceless Materials

We are traceless - a circular bioeconomy scale-up producing a new class of materials designed to leave no trace. With our patented process, we transform agricultural residues into traceless® materials: biobased on leftovers, plastic-free, home-compostable, and climate-friendly. Our goal is clear: to replace plastics at scale and build a net-zero, circular materials industry. Our solution is designed for brands and converters seeking truly sustainable alternatives to plastic in packaging and single-use products — with the performance they know and expect. traceless® runs on existing processing lines and delivers the functionality the industry needs, without the environmental footprint. Founded in 2020, we’ve grown into a 100-person team, raised a €36.6M Series A, and are currently building our first large-scale production facility in Hamburg, Germany — launching at the end of 2025. The next step: commercial market entry.
