On a mission to develop a sustainable alternative to rubber.
Agoprene is a materialtech startup from Trondheim. Agoprene is developing foam rubber from plant fibers to help the furniture industry reduce their need for petrochemicals.
Agoprene have proven how to use plant fibers to reduce petrochemicals used in multiple classes of polymer materials. Combining fibrous plants and producing plant fiber-based rubber foam alternatives sequesters CO2 while creating mechanically superior products.
Agoprene have the potential to transform materials and the rubber foam industry by providing a means for furniture manufacturers to reduce their carbon footprint while minimal effort.
