ABOUT – NaturLoop

WE DEVELOP SUSTAINABLE, NATURAL BIOCOMPOSITES MADE FROM AGRICULTURAL BY-PRODUCTS.

| OUR STORY

NaturLoop is a Swiss-based cleantech and material science company. We advance sustainable development through the utilization of domestically available resources, and integration of farming communities in the value chain. We engineer biocomposites from agricultural by-products and bio-based adhesives, and design unique technology to produce them on an industrial scale. We developed our first product, Cocoboard®.

80% OF THE WORLD'S TROPICAL FORESTS HAVE BEEN DESTROYED

The continuous destruction of tropical forests not only escalated climate change and biodiversity loss, but the limited availability of timber increased the prices of raw material amidst its growing demand.

On the other hand, there are 21M tonnes of unutilized coconut husks globally.

COCOBOARD® IS A SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVE TO MEDIUM DENSITY FIBERBOARDS (MDF)

Coconut Husks + Bio-based adhesive = Cocoboard®

Cocoboard® is the first 100% bio-based board, with mechanical properties superior to industrial medium density fiberboards (MDF)

WE ARE OPENING OUR FIRST COCOBOARD® FACTORY

As a pioneer manufacturer of natural biocomposites, we have designed a unique production line concept to scale our patented technology. We aim to meet the demand of the furniture and construction industry for sustainable materials.
