Carbon Cell’s foam is carbon-negative, plastic-free, compostable, and affordable—basically a game-changer for packaging. It’s made from biochar, a material derived from agricultural waste that locks away carbon for 100 years or more.

Biochar Foam: Locking Carbon, Replacing Plastic

Nearly 50% of global plastic waste comes from packaging. What’s more, plastic-based foam packaging accounts for up to 30% of visible plastic marine debris. That’s why Carbon Cell’s solution has the potential to significantly reduce plastic pollution and make a meaningful contribution to a circular, sustainable economy.

With all these climate perks, Carbon Cell’s foam is ready to replace fossil-based foams, from luxury packaging and cold-chain shipping to acoustic and thermal insulation in buildings.
