The urgent need to replace PFAS, toxic, persistent chemicals widely used for their water and stain resistance, has created a critical innovation challenge in materials science. These “forever chemicals” are under increasing regulatory pressure worldwide due to their impact on human health and ecosystems.

At Anima, we see this constraint as an opportunity for transformation. Nature offers a wide range of high-performance surface strategies, from lotus leaves’ hydrophobicity to the antimicrobial and liquid-repellent textures found on insect wings and animal skins.

We’re actively developing nature-inspired alternatives that serve both the textile and packaging industries, unlocking safer, scalable, and circular material systems.

If you’re working in coatings, surface treatments, or green chemistry, or looking for innovation partners in this area, we’d love to connect.
