Nanollose Limited

An innovative firm based in Australia, Nanollose Limited (ASX:NC6) is engaged in producing ‘Plant-Free’ Cellulose using an eco-friendly fermentation process.

The company collaborated with RISE Processum, MoRe Research and Umea? University to conduct a six-month project entitled “Bacterial nanocellulose, production and application testing”. The project aims at:

  • Comparing the microbial cellulose produced with other nanocellulose materials
  • Carrying out production and evaluation of cellulose acetate from microbial cellulose

In the coming months, the company will focus on increasing the scale of microbial cellulose production, partnering with a commercial fibre manufacturer for the production of Nullarbor and converting the existing and future stockpile of microbial cellulose into Nullarbor™ fibre.
