Founded in 2020, Balena is a material science company specializing in the development of advanced, compostable, recyclable, and bio-based thermoplastic materials. Dedicated to creating a circular model for durable consumer goods, Balena aims to tackle one of the industry's greatest challenges: the end-of-life of products. At the same time, the company seeks to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. In collaboration with the Portuguese brand Lemon Jelly, Balena is redefining sustainable fashion with the launch of the NYSSA Bag—a limited-edition handbag crafted from Balena’s groundbreaking BioCir® Flex material. This partnership brings the concept of circularity to life, transforming an abstract idea into a tangible, stylish product. The NYSSA Bag is a testament to sustainable innovation, made entirely from BioCir® Flex—a proprietary bio-based material that is fully compostable and recyclable.
