About Seprify
Seprify is a Swiss biomaterials company that turns cellulose into high-performance, biodegradable functional ingredients as scalable alternatives to titanium dioxide and other mineral whitening agents. Flagship grades include SilvaLuma, a cellulose SPF booster for cosmetics and personal care, and SilvaAlba, a food-grade whitener for food and pet food; the platform also targets coatings, inks and printed electronics. Co-founded and led by CEO Lukas Schertel, Seprify reports TRL 7–9 validation with industrial partners, engagement with more than 100 customer organisations and progression through supplier qualification and early commercial supply. In March 2026 Seprify raised €13.4 million (about CHF 12.25 million) in Series A funding backed by Inter IKEA Group with Una Terra Early Growth Fund, Zürcher Kantonalbank, Cambridge Enterprise Ventures, Kickfund and other circular-economy investors, to deliver consistent quality, reliable supply and tonne-scale manufacturing for cosmetics, food and higher-volume coatings applications.
