## About

Based in London, UK, and co-founded by Brett Cotton (CEO) and Edward TJ Mitchell (CTO), in 2022, Arda Biomaterials Ltd. operates as a biomaterial company that transforms waste into circular biomaterials for industries like fashion, home goods, and automotive. In April 2025, the company raised USD 5.25 million in venture funding led by Oyster Bay, with participation from Kadmos Capital, Green Angel Syndicate, and Clean Growth Investment Management. The company transforms waste feedstocks into circular biomaterials. One of the company’s flagship products is New Grain™, a material derived from spent grain or feedstock from the brewing process, offering a sustainable alternative to leather, New Grain requires 100 times less land, water, and CO2 emissions compared to traditional leather production methods.

The company will use the April 2025 funding to scale its production of alternative leather materials from brewery and distillery waste.
