About

CelluComp Ltd is a Scottish material science company based in Fife, near Edinburgh. Founded in 2004, the company specializes in sustainable, bio-based materials made from nanocellulose fibers extracted from root vegetable waste, primarily sugar beet pulp. Its flagship product, Curran®, is a lightweight and strong nanocellulose material that offers excellent mechanical properties and serves as a sustainable alternative to plastics and synthetic chemicals. CelluComp operates a pilot manufacturing facility in Scotland and has established a full-scale production facility in Renville, Minnesota, set to open in June 2025. The company focuses on low-carbon production methods and collaborates with various industries, universities, and distributors to develop applications for Curran®.

By valorizing food processing waste, CelluComp enhances the economic value of underutilized biomass, benefiting agricultural suppliers and promoting sustainability.
