€250,000 in funding from the BMWE

eco:fibr receives €250,000 in funding from the BMWE

This week brings some great news – and a major milestone for our upcoming scale-up:

eco:fibr has been awarded approximately €250,000 in funding through the “Industrial Bioeconomy” program by the BMWi. The funding period begins in November 2025.

What does this mean for us?

• The program supports the transfer of bio-based products and processes into industrial practice.

• Our goal: scaling our extraction process to achieve industrial validation of pineapple fibers.

• We will carry out the scale-up trials together with an external service provider from the European pulp industry.

• This funding is a crucial step in bringing our technology closer to industrial application and elevating it to the next level.

• 
  

For us, this is a strong signal: our approach works – and we’re receiving support exactly where it matters most for the industry.
