Industry Partnerships for Bamboo Siding/Rainscreen Product

Materials
1

Eco-Shelter Inc., in partnership with Washington State University have developed a revolutionary new exterior-grade bamboo composite building material with funding from the US National Science Foundation. More here: https://www.aiche.org/sites/default/files/cep/20221211.pdf

We developed the product for applications as roofing in emerging markets, India specifically, but are expanding the product’s application to the US market as a siding, paneling and rainscreen product.

We are pursuing an opportunity for additional R&D funding for testing and certifications in these applications and are looking to speak with industry partners who:

  1. Have an interest in low-embodied carbon materials
  2. Can provide insight on the development and specification process
  3. Are interested in supporting adoption of ultra-low carbon building materials in commercial or residential projects
  4. Developers who can specify the materials/products into their own designs would be a major plus

Please feel free to contact me at alexa@eco-shelter.org to learn more. I would love to connect!

Hi Lindsay -

Thanks for reaching out! I think we may have met very briefly at Verge - our product also has applications as a “Cool Roof” for emerging markets like India.

I’d love to set up time to connect. Let me know what your availability looks like.

Best,
Alexa
