Replica Biomaterials

Replica Biomaterials is an industrial biotechnology company developing sustainable leather alternatives using engineered microbes.

Its fermentation-based platform grows microbial biomaterials that are animal-free and petrochemical-free, with built-in customisable colour, eliminating the tanning and dyeing processes associated with conventional leather production.

Products are designed for the luxury fashion industry.

The company is supported by Innovate UK and the Science Creates accelerator.
