BYSCO

BYSCO is an innovative industrial start-up that designs bio-based, non-woven and custom-made materials from mussel byssus, a natural fiber used by molluscs to attach themselves. Its activity follows a circular economy approach, recovering waste from shellfish farming. Byssus-based materials offer valuable technical properties: thermal insulation, sound absorption, fire resistance and lightness.
