Turning Ideas Into Impactful Solutions
Our Vision: Holistic design is the Key
We believe that holistic design holds the key to solving the challenges of today and tomorrow. By applying thoughtful, interdisciplinary design principles, we can create solutions that are both impactful and sustainable, balancing innovation with practicality.
Our Mission: Building a Sustainable World
Our mission is to contribute to a sustainable world where humans and nature coexist in harmony. By learning from nature’s principles, we develop innovative solutions using waste and biobased materials to create healthier environments for future generations.
Our Approach: Transforming Ideas into Impactful Solutions
Through rigorous research, collaboration, and creativity, we transform ideas into real-world applications. From concept to creation, our process focuses on innovation, sustainability, and scalability, empowering industries to adopt eco-friendly practices.
From Experimentation to Innovation: Our Journey
Since 2016, we’ve been dedicated to material research and sustainable product design. Starting with Plyskin, a biomimetic facade concept based on the skin of a polar bear. This concept was designed using biobased and circular materials. In 2019 our journey began with a bold idea: exploring cow manure as a resource for creating innovative materials. Starting with small experiments, we combined manure with other waste materials and binders, crafting sample panels to showcase their potential and gauge public acceptance. The response was overwhelmingly positive, inspiring us to push forward.
As we grew, so did our techniques. From 3D printing to heat pressing and molding, we developed new circular and biodegradable materials that reflect our commitment to sustainability and innovation.
Now, we’re ready to take the next step. Our focus is on bringing these materials and products to market, and we’re looking for collaborators, followers, and forward-thinking companies to join us. Whether you’re a funder, partner, or advocate for sustainable design, we invite you to be part of this exciting journey.
Together, we can turn sustainable ideas into impactful solutions.
Our Research Projects
Below some of our sustainabilty focused Research and Development projects using cow manure combined with other waste streams to create new alternatives for traditional existing materials used in different industries.
Mest Plastic
Cow manure as a bioplastic can be turned in a new versatile material. The material can be used for shaped into several products using heatpressing, injection moulding, extrusion and 3d printing.
Mest Panels
This panels are made of cow manure heat pressed into flat panels. The panels can be shaped in several forms using a cnc router or lasercutter. The strenght of the panels can be compared to wood.
Mest Blocks
Cow dung blocks. The blocks are extremely light compared to normal concrete blocks. They can be used for building light partition walls with no structural value. The blocks can be grinded and re-used.
Mest-Crete
Cow manure combined with environment friendly binder can be formed into shapes with a concrete look. This material can be shaped using moulding techniques. A unique characteristic of this material is its light weight and porosity which makes it functionality resemble how ceramics work.
Mest 3D
Cow manure combined with other waste materials like cellulose and other biobased materials were used to develop this new circular material. The characteristics of this material were specially developed to be used with a traditional ceramic printer. This material can be used for plant pots and is biodegradable.
Mest Insul
Cow manure combined with mycelium can be developed within a new type of biological insulation or packaging material. The material can be shaped in several forms. The strength of first models resembles the strenght of foams using for packaging. Just like foams , this material is light in weight as well.
