Summary
Seprify, a Swiss startup, has scaled its process for making cellulose-derived pigments from a 1-ton/yr pilot to a toll-manufactured capacity of multiple hundreds of tons per year. The bio-based pigments target cosmetics, food, and coatings as an alternative to incumbent materials like titanium dioxide.

What factors—performance, cost, or regulatory approvals—do you think will most affect adoption of cellulose-based pigments in your applications?

A process for making pigments from cellulose for use in cosmetics, food and coatings applications has scaled up from a 1-ton/yr pilot unit to a process capable of generating multiple-hundreds of tons per year in a toll-manufacturing setting. The cellulose-derived pigment offers a bio-based alternative to incumbent pigment materials, such as titanium dioxide, across a range of products.
