We are in business to reverse climate change
Made of Air is a climate-focused materials company that transforms waste biomass into high-value, carbon-negative fillers that can decarbonize industrial materials.
Composed of carbon sequestered from the atmosphere, our fillers permanently remove CO2 and can be used in numerous building and consumer product applications. Storing carbon in products enables manufactured goods to become an engineered carbon sink. Made of Air’s technology is uniquely positioned to meet surging demand for high-performing, sustainable materials - an essential step for meeting climate goals.
We are an award-winning start up that pushes the boundaries of materials and production, helping to build economies that actively reverse climate change. This is a high-growth, dynamic environment with a diverse and highly motivated team of innovators, scientists, and business visionaries.
