Cell2Green - Biodegradable film.

Cell2Green develops biotechnological processes to convert renewable raw materials into sustainable, bio-based products for agriculture and industry.

Cell2Green produces a recyclable, biodegradable and additive-free packaging made of cellulose, which is manufactured through an innovative and environmentally friendly process from renewable raw materials and represents a sustainable alternative to conventional plastic films.

About the Main Product

The film is made from renewable raw materials, such as cellulose, which is biodegradable. Compared to conventional oil-based films, which often end up in the oceans or are burned, the Cell2Green film is a sustainable alternative.

Another advantage of the Cell2Green film is the cost-effective production process, which uses environmentally friendly, recyclable chemicals, thereby reducing CO2 emissions by up to 70%. Furthermore, the film can be recycled and reused through the same process after use, contributing to the circular economy.

In September 2022, the company was named the winner of the Inno-Award 2022, and numerous press articles were published, including in the Ostsee-Zeitung, NNN, Welt, RTL news, and the IHK zu Rostock. An NDR report on the innovation award was also broadcast.

Looking for Strategic Partnerships!

Cell2Green is now looking for further partners and investors to further develop its innovative technology and jointly take the step into a more environmentally friendly future. Companies with expertise in film processing are cordially invited to support Cell2Green on the path of research and development, but also politicians and representatives of the economy are invited to contact the company.

For the first start-up phase, the company needs investment capital from private investors or venture capital fund companies.

• Food and consumer goods industry: Companies seeking sustainable and biodegradable packaging solutions as an alternative to conventional plastic packaging.
• Retail and supermarkets: Retailers who want to use environmentally friendly packaging to meet regulatory requirements and support their sustainability goals.
• Manufacturers of organic products: Companies with a strong focus on sustainability, looking for a packaging solution that fits their ecological values.
• Cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry: Providers seeking biodegradable packaging to meet environmental standards and consumer expectations for sustainable packaging.
• Industrial and B2B customers: Companies that want to use sustainable alternatives to plastic in production and supply chains, thereby reducing their CO₂ footprint and environmental impact.
• Sustainability-oriented brands: Brands and start-ups that want to consistently position their products in a sustainable way and need innovative, environmentally friendly packaging for this purpose.

Success Stories

Cell2Green has already won several awards for its innovative technology, including the "inspired Rostock" idea competition in June 2021 and the statewide "inspired Mecklenburg-Vorpommern" idea competition in the same month.

In August 2021, the company participated in the Berlin Valley Tour with renowned business angels and investors, and in October 2021, it held cooperation talks with MERCER, one of the world's largest cellulose manufacturers, and in November 2021, it won the largest and most important national business plan competition "Science4Life".

In 2025, the first round of investment was completed.

The company was founded by Dr. Dirk Hollmann, one of the co-founders of Cell2Green, who, as part of his research work at the University of Rostock, developed an environmentally friendly process to use renewable raw materials as a basis for replacing climate-damaging products.

The Cell2Green film is thus a result of years of research and development.
