About Brewed Protein materials
Brewed Protein materials, a proprietary product developed by Spiber, are made from structural proteins produced by microbial fermentation. This production process, which primarily utilizes plant resources, does not rely on petroleum or animals for its main raw materials. The characteristics of Brewed Protein materials can be modified according to end-product needs, and development is ongoing towards applications for use in the apparel, automotive, and aircraft industries. The "Brewed Protein" name derives from the unique fermentation process used to create the materials.
