We evaluate compostable, recyclable, and bio-based materials to determine whether they are technically viable for a given product and use case. This includes reviewing supplier certifications, regulatory constraints, mechanical performance, and processing considerations to help teams make informed material decisions early, before committing to tooling or scale-up.

Promising materials are validated through hands-on testing to assess behavior under real use conditions. This work focuses on identifying failure modes, performance limits, and unknown risks through qualitative and bench-level testing, helping teams avoid costly surprises later in development

We support early-stage product development by translating material choices into physical prototypes. This includes advising on geometry, processing methods, and manufacturability, coordinating simple tooling, and producing early prototypes to evaluate form, function, and feasibility before moving into full engineering or manufacturing.
