With Plantd materials every new home and building on earth is an untapped opportunity to lock away atmospheric CO2 and counter climate change.
Throughout history, civilizations have advanced at the speed of material innovation. Timber, steel, and concrete enabled remarkable human progress, but today they are the problem, not the solution.
Continuing to build with these materials accelerates climate change and promises to impede progress by threatening our collective future on this planet. Every new building erected only makes the problem worse.
We envision a world built from grass. A world where buildings no longer cause climate change but are central to the solution. A world where homes and buildings are stronger, lighter, more durable, and more affordable. Where their walls and structures lock away vast amounts of carbon dioxide pulled from the atmosphere.
A world that stands in balance with nature.
Create quickest and most efficient way to pull CO2 from the atmosphere—and lock it away.
Cultivate Arundo Donax, the fastest growing renewable grass on earth and ideal for maximizing carbon capture.
Invent factory of the future—fully automated, low-emissions production technology—to turn grasses into durable building materials.
Transform construction industry with Plantd building materials, a new age of material innovation we call Mass Biomass.
We reimagined the assembly line for engineered building materials. The result is a leap forward in production technology to reduce carbon emissions and costs and improve material performance.
We tested a wide array of materials to successfully identify a plant biomass that statisfies our objective function.
80% of the carbon that enters our factory in the form of grass is locked away in the building materials that leave it.
Start with structural panels for homebuilding that outcompete wood on every metric—cost, carbon removal, and material performance.
Mass adoption and scale is built into our product roadmap. The US market for building panels is $26B. And globally, engineered wood products are a $280B market.
