About Us

Meet the team

We’re on a mission to advance the global transition to a circular economy.

Our approach is practical and science-led. To create constructive solutions to the issues that need solving.

Who we help

We help companies within the paper industry–and their customers–who want to move to circular models of production. 

We’ve listened to our customers to learn what properties they need in their coatings. And we’ve created these using 100% bio-based materials.

We’ve made them easy to apply using existing equipment. So there’s no need to invest in expensive new systems.

Because we want to help as many companies as possible join the circular economy.

Our customers are:

  • Paper manufacturers
  • Paper coaters
  • Packaging companies
  • Consumer brands

who are embracing a circular future.
