Flora Materials

Our product designers, scientists, and engineers are working together to achieve the most functional, sustainable, and well-designed building materials using bio-based alternatives. Studying popular building materials, we’re working to replace toxic chemicals like petroleum polymers with bio-based alternatives like algae — without compromising performance. As a team, we bring together the talents of architects and designers, engineers and scientists to produce exceptionally designed materials through our in-house lab tests of performance standards prior to installation and deployment. We’re accelerating the adoption of bio-based materials by putting our products to the test at West 40 Studio, tracking installation and performance on our real construction/design projects. We are developing bioplastic manufacturing throughout product development to compete with petroleum-based plastic manufacturing. By sourcing materials and manufacturing entirely in the U.S., we’re shrinking our environmental footprint — resulting in cost savings, reduced waste through product recycling, and lower environmental impact.
