A plant-based polymer

The industry's reliance on product security often leads to incinerating single-use plastics, releasing massive carbon emissions. The CellScrew®, made from plant-based polylactic acid (PLA), offers a more sustainable alternative. Sourced renewably, it significantly reduces carbon emissions—even when disposed of through incineration.

Material surface ratio of CellScrew® vs competitors

80% less material use,
90% less emissions

The additive manufacturing process allows us to make more grow area from less raw material. Combined with the use of plant-based PLA, the CellScrew® has a 90% lower carbon footprint than other cell culture systems.

Quality made in Germany

We’re producing our CellScrew in our own production facility in Giessen. To build a sustainable process from the beginning, we’re using sustainable sources of electricity and are recycling leftovers from our production. Additionally, we’re ISO 9001 certified, and are building a robust quality management system.
