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