Carbon Cell
About Carbon Cell
Carbon Cell produces a carbon-negative, fully biodegradable foam using biochar derived from organic waste, which significantly reduces reliance on fossil fuel-based foams. This high-performance material offers superior thermal insulation and compressive strength, making it an effective alternative for applications in packaging and construction.
```xml <problem> Conventional expanded polystyrene foam, derived from fossil fuels, contributes to carbon emissions during manufacturing and persists in landfills for centuries, posing a significant environmental challenge. The world is expected to produce enough of this foam to fill millions of semi-trucks annually, exacerbating pollution and waste management issues. </problem> <solution> Carbon Cell offers a sustainable alternative to traditional polymer-based foams by producing a carbon-negative, fully biodegradable expanded foam made from biochar. Biochar, derived from organic waste through pyrolysis, sequesters carbon, effectively removing more CO2 from the atmosphere than is required for production. The resulting foam boasts competitive thermal conductivity and superior compressive strength compared to conventional and other bio-based foams. Carbon Cell's flexible manufacturing process allows for customizable geometries, enabling its use in diverse applications, including packaging, construction, and horticulture. </solution> <features> - Carbon-negative material made from biochar derived from organic waste streams - Fully compostable under home composting conditions - High thermal insulation properties - Three times stronger than expanded polystyrene (EPS) and other bio-based alternatives - Customizable geometries for flexible manufacturing - Patent-pending technology (2402238.6) - Fire-resistant and comparable sound insulation to EPS foam </features> <target_audience> The primary target audience includes businesses seeking sustainable alternatives to traditional polymer-based foams for packaging, insulation, and other applications, as well as environmentally conscious consumers. </target_audience> ```
