## Description

Balena is a material science company founded in 2020 with a mission to revolutionize the fashion industry and create a circular model for durable consumer goods. Understanding the alarming environmental impact of fashion waste, Balena focuses on developing compostable and biodegradable thermoplastic materials. These materials, such as their innovative BioCirflex, are designed to replace toxic, fossil-based materials like TPU, PVC, and LDPE commonly used in footwear and fashion products. By utilizing renewable ingredients and biodegradable polymers, Balena has created a flexible, injectable, and durable thermoplastic material that fully decomposes in controlled compost environments. To prove the effectiveness of their materials, Balena has launched the BioCir Slides, the first product made entirely of BioCir. These slides are designed and manufactured in Italy and will be commercially available in 2022. Looking ahead, Balena's top priority is to continue disrupting the materials industry through innovation and the development of cutting-edge circular materials. Their goal is to replace hazardous, non-compostable, and synthetic materials used in various industries, ultimately creating a future where all consumer goods have clear end-of-life solutions. With a talented and diverse team, Balena combines science, technology, innovation, and design to provide sustainable solutions and address one of the biggest challenges of our time.
