🌿 What if you could turn bark into rubber?
In Sweden, we already do. With leftovers from the forestry industry, Swedish company Reselo has developed a way to transform birch bark into rubber. 🌳
Reselo’s journey began at Kungliga Tekniska högskolan as a research project. Today, Reselo is pioneering an entirely new class of biomaterials, with the goal of phasing out fossil-based plastics.
Their innovation — a renewable, high-performance rubber that is both durable and water-repellent. The rubber can be used in everything from footwear to automotive components.
💡 Why does this matter?
The global rubber industry still relies heavily on fossil resources and plastic rubber.
Reselo’s Nordic Bio-Rubber offers a sustainable alternative — and reflects how Sweden’s innovation ecosystem, with strong collaboration between academia and industry, is reshaping materials.
