“By slowing down this fast carbon, we are giving our society some time—buying us some time to ween ourselves off of our fossil fuels…the ways that our every day lives would change, if we can’t start doing this at scale, could be truly detrimental for our future.”

About OurCarbon

Every day, organic materials labeled as ‘waste’ are sent to landfill where they break down and emit greenhouse gases. Simultaneously, large scale industry continues to rely on fossil fuel dependent materials, deplete soil health, and construct our built environment with heavy carbon footprints. OurCarbon disrupts these practices by diverting organics from landfill, transforming them at net zero energy into OurCarbon, and applying it in beneficial ways. This three step ‘Divert, Transform, Apply’ process completely rethinks material production and prevents many tons of greenhouse gas emissions. OurCarbon is currently used to achieve carbon negative structural concretes, to benefit soil health, and to replace petrol based black pigments in screen printing, polymers, paints, fabric dyes, and more.
