Folia Materials exists to make everyday life healthier and more sustainable. We do this by transforming ordinary paper into a super material. One capable of making unsafe tap water drinkable, protecting against global viruses via face masks, and even improving the way our food is packaged.Folia has spent years inventing and patenting the world’s cheapest and most effective process for marrying ordinary industrial paper with a coating that transforms it into an extraordinary good. Our patented coating process uses standard industrial coating machinery to do nano-chemistry inside paper, bonding nanosilver to paper at the fiber level. We don't own any industrial equipment and yet we have manufactured tonnes of our coated paper.  

It costs us pennies to make our paper which goes into:
