We are using the science of silk to build a healthier population, a sustainable planet, and a brighter future.
We are Cocoon™.
The Problem.
Petrochemicals have made their way into virtually every facet of our daily lives. Clothing, cosmetics, tires, packaging, detergents, and countless other everyday items are made from petrochemicals. Despite the substantial benefits they provide, the production, use, and disposal of microplastic products poses sustainability challenges. Globally, society is seeking solutions that draw a path to alternatives that meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals, exploring new technologies and materials that can have a positive impact on energy demand and health concerns.
The Solution.
Using our decades of scientific expertise, we have developed proprietary methods to make EcoSilk™, an all natural and safe protein derived from a sustainable natural source (silkworm cocoons). Due to silk fibroin's exceptional properties, it can both replace unsustainable ingredients and provide the foundation for a new generation of innovative products.
Get Involved.
Explore how we can help you reduce or eliminate your reliance on petrochemicals, transform your products using our sustainable solutions, and help build a healthier world for the generations to come. We are always looking for new & innovative partnerships.
Petrochemicals are the problem.
Byproducts from oil & natural gas (petrochemicals) include polymers, oils, waxes, solvents, fragrances, and dyes. These end up as microplastic ingredients used in products. In other words, most items used in your daily lives (from household items to cosmetics) contain some degree of petroleum. Not only is oil extraction harmful to the environment, but many of these microplastics are also harmful to your health.
EcoSilk™ is the solution.
Our unique EcoSilk™ is an all-natural, biodegradable, and versatile material that can be used as a sustainable ingredient in various healthcare, consumer, and industrial products. Using our combined expertise in biotechnology, medicine, materials science, and green product design, we have engineered the world’s most adaptable and sustainable natural material.
