CHITOLASTIC

ABOUT US
We design and scale advanced chitosan-based materials that enable safer medical, pharmaceutical, and next-generation sustainable applications.

Chitolastic is a biomaterials company focused on the development and production of high-purity chitosan derivatives and functional bioplastics for high-value, regulated industries. Our work is built on advanced material science and application-driven engineering, with a strong emphasis on purity, reproducibility, and performance.
We develop controlled deacetylation processes, high-purity chitosan materials, antimicrobial functional systems, and biopolymer-based formulations designed for medical devices, wound care systems, pharmaceutical excipients, cosmetic applications, veterinary solutions, and advanced biodegradable materials. Our approach integrates deep R&D capability with scalable production strategies to ensure that our materials are not only innovative, but industrially viable.
Chitolastic was established in December 2025 at ITU ARI Teknokent after being awarded support under the TÜBİTAK 1512 (BİGG) Program and has since commenced its R&D and operational activities.
Founded on a strong scientific foundation, Chitolastic bridges academic-level biomaterial expertise with real-world industrial implementation. We are building a next-generation biomaterial platform designed to meet the performance, safety, and regulatory expectations of global markets.
