Polybion Welcomes Fashion for Good as an Official Partner and Investor

FOAK I is where the magic happens. Here, we produce Celium™, our leather alternative at an industrial scale. Our strategic location near central Mexico's bustling fruit-packing industry allows us to utilize the fruit waste generated in just two days to sustain our production for an entire year. It's a testament to our commitment to circular economy principles.

Our custom made bioreactors are where the transformation begins, nurturing bacterial cellulose sheets of up to 1.40 square meters over a span of 7-25 days, depending on the desired thickness.

This raw material then undergoes further refinement using traditional animal leather equipment and optimized chromium-free green chemistry, achieving the remarkable outcomes that Fashion for Good had the pleasure of witnessing firsthand.

What truly sets us apart is our vertical integration approach. 

Our in-house tanning and finishing processes offer boundless possibilities to enhance the raw bacterial nano cellulose sheets, giving rise to a unique array of textures, colors, and properties that set a new standard for sustainable fashion innovation. 

Our strategic location, just 30 minutes from the tanning and footwear capital of LATAM, has proven to be pivotal in our transformation processes.
