Arda Biomaterials

Customer Story: Arda — Transforming Waste Into High‑Value Materials

Arda is one of our innovative customers — a London‑based biomaterials company redefining what’s possible with sustainable materials. Their mission is bold and refreshingly simple: create materials without compromise by turning one of the world’s most abundant by‑products into something entirely new.

Using proprietary green chemistry, Arda transforms spent grain from beer and whisky production into strong, supple, and completely plastic‑free textiles. These next‑generation biomaterials reshape plant proteins into durable, high‑performance alternatives that can be used across fashion, interiors, automotive, and more — without the need for plastics or animal-derived components.

At the heart of their innovation is New Grain™, a soft, adaptable, and highly customisable material designed to rival traditional textiles on quality and scalability while dramatically reducing environmental impact.

Arda’s London-based space reflects their scientific, design-led approach — a place where waste becomes opportunity and material innovation moves from concept to reality. Their work shows how circular thinking can unlock beautiful, commercially viable materials that support both human creativity and planetary health.

We’re proud to partner with Arda and showcase their journey, their mission, and the groundbreaking work happening inside their London lab.
