SurfAce Cleantech raises CHF250,000 for industrial trials and certification
Its coating is designed to reinforce bioplastic films on existing printing lines.
SurfAce Cleantech raised CHF250,000 in pre-seed funding from Swiss business angels, including an investor from the SICTIC network, and Stiftung HSG START Accelerator.
The financing supports industrial development, printing-pattern optimisation, trials and compostability certification. The company targets market readiness in the first quarter of 2027; the coating is still undergoing validation.
Developed with EPFL, the composite coating reinforces compostable bioplastic films and can be applied using flexographic printing equipment. The industrial work will test its fit with existing converter processes.
