Smart Resilin

Smart Resilin Overview

Smart Resilin pioneers the industrial utilization of Resilin — a protein originally found in insects, known as nature’s most elastic material. This remarkable biomolecule allows insects to jump, fly, and move with minimal energy loss. Building on this natural design, Smart Resilin has become the first company in the world to produce Resilin at industrial scale, creating a new class of sustainable, high-performance biomaterials that combine elasticity, resilience, and full biodegradability. Through advanced protein engineering and clean bacterial fermentation, we produce Resilin without harming insects or using animal sources. Our proprietary bio-manufacturing platform enables cost-efficient production of Resilin and its transformation into functional gels, films, coatings, and 3D printing inks. These materials offer exceptional elasticity, strength, and film-forming properties — while eliminating microplastic pollution and significantly reducing carbon impact compared to fossil-based elastomers. Smart Resilin’s biomaterials can be used across multiple industries, from cosmetics (biodegradable film formers and hydrogels) to footwear (elastic midsoles and cushioning systems), flexible coatings, and 3D/bioprinting inks for next-generation soft robotics and biomedical applications. By merging biotechnology with materials science, we are developing a versatile platform for sustainable elasticity — enabling circular, high-performance alternatives to silicones, polyurethanes, and synthetic rubbers. With a focus on sustainability, innovation, and real-world implementation, Smart Resilin is committed to redefining how elasticity is engineered. We aim to lead a global transition toward biobased, high-performance materials — replacing plastics with nature’s own elastic design and creating a more resilient, sustainable future.
