Company Overview
Arda Biomaterials is a chemistry technology company that develops sustainable biomaterials to reduce reliance on animal products and petrochemicals. The company's flagship product, New Grain™, is a plastic-free and animal-free leather alternative created by upcycling spent barley grain from breweries and distilleries. Using a proprietary supramolecular chemistry process, Arda transforms waste proteins into high-performance materials that mimic the structure of animal proteins. The company targets the fashion, automotive, and home goods industries, offering a scalable and circular solution that can achieve price parity with traditional leather. Founded in 2022 by Brett Cotten and Dr. Edward (TJ) Mitchell, the London-based startup has secured venture capital funding to advance its research and development and scale production.
