About

We are a team of stubborn optimists, researchers, scientists, and social entrepreneurs dedicated to building a just, inclusive planet-positive future for the materials industry. We work at the intersection of a sustainable materials future and regenerative agriculture. We do this by transforming agricultural waste, from smallholder farming communities across Africa, into sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based synthetics. Our mission is to empower smallholder farming communities, promote environmental sustainability, and enhance livelihoods by upcycling agricultural waste into valuable products. We are committed to fostering innovation, environmental responsibility, and social impact.
