Cellulotech Secures Strategic Investment to Scale Its Breakthrough Green Chemistry Technology

Article content VICTORIA, British Columbia — Cellulotech, a pioneering company in green chemistry and sustainable material innovation, is proud to announce the successful closing of a seed fundraising round led by Neglected Climate Opportunities, a subsidiary of the Jeremy and Hannelore Grantham Environmental Trust. The Round also welcomed the participation of Meliorate Partners, a leading early-stage sustainability fund focusing on transformative industrial innovators. Article content This strategic investment will empower Cellulotech to scale its patented solvent-free cellulose functionalization technology—enabling the replacement of plastic, PFAS, and other unsustainable or harmful materials. The innovation offers a scalable, bio-based, cost-effective, and fully recyclable cellulose-based alternative —including applications in paper, packaging, hygiene, textiles, or construction—unlocking a significant opportunity to competitively decarbonize and detoxify global supply chains and add value to the most abundant organic compound on earth: cellulose. Article content 'We're excited to join forces with investors who not only have decades of experience scaling breakthrough technologies but also share our ambitious, long‑term vision,' said Romain Metivet, Co‑Founder and CEO of Cellulotech. Article content 'Their support recognizes my discovery, and nothing is more exciting than seeing it finally reach the market,' added Dr. Daniel Samain, Co‑Founder and Scientific Director. As regulatory and market pressures accelerate the shift to sustainable alternatives, Cellulotech is leading the way—delivering green technologies that not only meet standards but carry a clear 'green discount,' making sustainability the default—without compromising performance or cost.
