Bucha Bio

Bucha Bio is a private U.S. biomaterials company developing sustainable materials from bacterial nanocellulose and other biobased components. The company is focused on replacing conventional leather, plastics, latex, vinyl, epoxy, and related fossil- or animal-derived materials with renewable alternatives for fashion, home goods, electronics, and automotive applications. Its first named material, SHORAI, is positioned as a high-performance textile or composite produced through fermentation-based processes. Bucha Bio appears to operate as a platform materials company rather than a therapeutics developer, with emphasis on scalable manufacturing, melt extrusion, and integration into existing industrial supply chains.
