Grouse Fibre is an innovative advanced materials company transforming dairy waste into high-performance, sustainable fibres and bioproducts. Building on cutting-edge protein science and wet-spinning technologies, Grouse Fibre converts waste milk proteins into biodegradable fibres and filaments with a range of technical applications. We bring together expertise in fibre science, chemical and bio-engineering, materials chemistry, and plant science to translate protein-based research into sustainable materials and agricultural solutions.
Our approach leverages years of fundamental learning and in-house technical capabilities to reimagine what protein-based materials can do. These nature-inspired fibres offer unique properties including tuneable moisture management, high nitrogen content, biocompatibility and biodegradation making them excellent additions to growing media as a sustainable alternative to peat-based substrates.
With industry support and collaborations across the research and development space we are scaling our technology platform to address material challenges in a variety of sectors. Our goal is to unlock the commercial potential of bio-based materials that can reduce waste, cut environmental impact and broaden the UK’s sustainable materials landscape.”
