Bio-Inspired Design

AinaCore^® bio-based foams represents a fundamental leap forward when it comes to environmental integrity.  According to a recent NIST study commissioned by the USDA, every pound of bio-based foam sequesters 2.6 pounds of CO2. The material can be easily reused or recycled, improving life cycle performance.

Our products are inspired by nature, a process known as biomimicry.  We, like nature, manufacture our products from plant-based carbohydrates, not hydrocarbons derived from petroleum. As in nature, our manufacturing process is energy efficient, takes place under normal atmospheric conditions, and does not generate toxic waste streams or green house gas emissions.  In fact, every pound of our foam sequesters 2.6 pounds of carbon. 

Environmental Attributes

There is no question that AinaCore^® represents a fundamental leap forward when it comes to environmental features and benefits. Our products utilize plant-based resins, lessening our dependence upon petrochemicals. The manufacturing process utilizes less toxic chemicals and exhibits far lower emissions of volatile organic compounds, thus providing safer work places and living environments. Finally, the material can be easily reused or recycled, improving their life-cycle performance. Our motto: “Green to the Core.”
