Activité
BIOMANITY is developing the first 100% biobased and biodegradable Super Absorbent Polymer for agricultural use. It allows water retention of 100 to 1200g of water for 1g of SAP.
Placed at the roots of plants, it acts as a reservoir of water and fertilizer, releasing them in a controlled manner.
It has the characteristics equivalent to non-biodegradable or compostable SAPs, banned for use in soils in Europe since 10/2023. It meets the Reach regulation on microplastics.
Compétences & savoir-faire
Both chemical and physical modifications of chitosan for reaching new high value products at different scales
Produits, technologies & services
Produced from chitin, the second largest biomass on Earth (crustaceans, insects, mushrooms) and non-competing with agricultural biomass, BIOMANITY Super Absorbent is completely biodegradable, microplastic-free, biosourced and circular.
It meets the challenges of the ecological transition by developing universal solutions that have a positive impact on water, soil, carbon, oceans and biodiversity: optimization of water management, soil biodiversity, carbon sequestration, waste recovery, etc.
