Our technology
Our patent-pending (2402238.6) technology allows us to compound biochar, a porous carbon resulting from agricultural waste, with a natural polymer in such a way that it can be expanded with heat in a manner similar to traditional particle foams.

What is biochar?
Biochar can be made from a wide range of agricultural wastes and other types of biomass from wood, to wheat chaff and beyond. This material is processed in a low-oxygen environment so that the carbon trapped by plants during photosynthesis is fixed into a form that remains stable for centuries, instead of being re-released as carbon dioxide or methane. This makes it a type of carbon capture technology. It's highly porous, so it also has unique material properties which lend strength and thermal resistance to our foam.
We work with a collective of biochar producers to sustainably source this material.

Carbon Cell has a renewable, non-toxic supply chain.
At end of life, our natural polymer degrades in home composting environments, leaving only biochar behind to enrich soil.

Why
Carbon Cell?
CARBON NEGATIVE
Because it's made with biochar, Carbon Cell is carbon-negative.
This means that it removes more CO2 from the atmosphere than it requires to make.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE
Carbon Cell boasts a competitive thermal conductivity and is three times stronger than EPS and other bio-based alternatives. It also performs well under fire and has a comparable sound insulation to EPS foam.
FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING
Our flexible manufacturing process allows us to rapidly form our foam in different customizable geometries.
This allows Carbon Cell to be used in a wide variety of applications, from packaging to construction.
FULLY COMPOSTABLE
Carbon Cell has a renewable supply chain, and is compostable within home composting conditions!
