BIOBASED MANUFACTURING
From Plant to Panel

carbon-saving
We produce materials with excellent insulation properties, consistent surface aesthetics, and advanced fire performance.
Our manufacturing technology enables new applications for biocomposites, targeting embodied carbon in buildings and accelerating decarbonization.
Hemp is one of the fastest-growing crops and can sequester CO₂ equal to up to 46% of its biomass.
The main ingredients of our biocomposites are hemp shives, a byproduct of hemp fiber processing.
They come from the woody inner core of the hemp stalk, where most of the carbon is sequestered.
With hemp shives and our lime-based binder, we make biocomposites resistant to fire, mold and pests.
We use earth pigments for color and aesthetics. They strengthen the material and enhance its durability.
Our biocomposites offer excellent sound absorption and insulation properties.
They perform best in the low- and mid-frequency ranges and are ideal for sound-proofing human speech.
The material lifecycle is designed based on 4 circular principles: reuse, repair, remanufacture, regenerate.
Our biocomposites are free of toxic compounds and can decompose organically at the end of their service life.
More biobased materials.
More stored carbon.
Less toxic waste.
So why hemp?
Reaches a height of roughly 4 meters in just 4 months.
Produces up to 12 tonnes of biomass per 1 hectare.
Enables fast and reliable carbon sequestration.
Stored in our biocomposite over its lifecycle.
Dense leaf foliage provides natural soil cover.
Protects against erosion, and improves water retention.
Develops a deep root plant system.
Needs significantly less water than other crops.
Supports organic farming due to natural pest resistance.
Is used in crop rotation for natural soil remediation.
Produces pollen in summer when availability is limited.
Provides shelter and food for animals.
