Our Work

Our work drives a sustainable decarbonization of the container manufacturing industry through research and innovation. Our research is specifically about redesigning the way traditional shipping containers are manufactured. We use recycled materials that would stop the a) extraction of fossil fuels, b) deforestation for natural wood, and c) loss of biodiversity in forests.

Concept

Floor

Coming Soon

Ceiling

Coming Later

Walls

Our current research focuses on the launch of floorboards. R&D on ceiling and walls will begin in 2026 as phase 2 of our grand vision.

Material Science

Material Science Today

Comprises 19 layers of Apitong plywood + resin + PSF (Phenol-formaldehyde) coating + Bitumen coating. Makes floorboards extremely toxic for our planet.

Material Science Tomorrow

Comprises hawsers + fishing nets + other waste bonded with upcycled resin. Makes boards chemical free and reaffirms our commitment to reduce waste from our oceans.

Our Inspiration

Deforestation, marine pollution and low circularity of the container shipping industry became the three key problem areas that inspired us to do what we do today. With over 45 million containers circling our planet today supporting 80% of global trade, protecting our oceans and the marine environment becomes our obligation.

LOW CIRCULARITY

~45 million shipping containers
on the planet today

>4 million new container units are
produced globally each year.

12-15 years is a lease period before
being discarded

Deforestation

1.29 trees required to make one 20’ft
container floor

5,160,000 Apitong trees felled for
container manufacturing per year

150,000km² of biodiversity area
lost in South-Asia may take centuries to recover.

Apitong trees were listed as endangered species since 2019

Marine Pollution

9% of ocean waste comes from
abandoned ghost fishing gear.

~75,000 tonnes of synthetic
hawsers are produced each year.

66% of marine animals are at risk from
floating marine plastic debris.

Our Compliance

EU Regulation on Deforestation-free Products

Deforestation in Malaysia and Indonesia

Our propose is to stop deforestation and switch floorboards to recycle material.

Flooring in many containers today is still made from Apitong plywood and approx. 5,1 million trees from Southeast Asian forests are consumed by the container manufacturing industry.

EU as a large consumer economy, feels partly responsible for this problem and wants to lead the way in solving it. Under the Regulation, any operator or trader who places these commodities on the EU market, or exports from it, must be able to prove that the products do not originate from recently deforested land or have contributed to forest degradation.

EU Critical Raw Materials Act (CRM Act)

Critical Materials Crisis

Today, EU is heavily dependent on imports of critical raw materials from third countries. This needs to change and companies need to account for their sourcing of materials containing rare earth minerals. The new CRM Act will ensure EU access to a sustainable supply of critical raw materials, enabling Europe to meet its climate and digital objectives.

IMO 2030 Decarbonization Agenda

International Maritime Organisation (IMO)

Member states of the IMO have adopted the 2023 IMO Strategy on Reduction of GHG Emissions from shipping industry. A key indicative checkpoint is to reduce the total annual GHG emissions from international shipping by at least 20%, striving for 30%, by 2030, compared to 2008.

Containerization plays a key role in delivering this target and our aim is to equip shipping companies with lightweight, recyclable, circular container solutions.
