NatureSphere™: 100% Cellulose That Returns to Nature After Use
NatureSphere™ replaces primary microplastics with forest-derived cellulose beads that biodegrade into Earth’s ecosystems within weeks–no centuries-long pollution.
Born from sustainably managed forests, these biodegradable beads offer industries and consumers a guilt-free alternative to plastic micro-beads. Unlike synthetic counterparts, NatureSphere™ naturally breaks down into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass, whether in oceans, soil, or air, leaving no trace of microplastic pollution. This breakthrough aligns with global efforts to restore natural balance, addressing urgent concerns about biodiversity loss and marine degradation.
Harmonizing Industry with Nature
NatureSphere™ embodies a closed-loop philosophy, mirroring natural cycles of growth and decay. By sourcing wood pulp from certified forests, Futamura ensures minimal disruption to ecosystems while supporting reforestation.
The production process, free of organic solvents, eliminates airborne toxins and water contamination, safeguarding habitats for plants and wildlife and turning daily routines like product manufacturing into acts of environmental stewardship. As industries face pressure to adopt circular models, NatureSphere™ offers a scalable solution that prioritizes planetary health over extraction.

With 93% of consumers now prioritizing sustainability, NatureSphere™ meets demand for products that align with eco-values. Its rapid biodegradation supports urban green initiatives, such as reducing heat islands through natural cooling and improving waterway health by filtering toxins indirectly.
Rahcel™ method is a new, unique method of processing cellulose, a raw material abundant in nature but normally difficult to process without the need for organic solvents. Originally developed by Futamura, its a clean production method, intrinsically safe and free from any residual solvent.
