Founded from the Circular Challenge at BlueCity in December 2023, Biocrafts was born out of a mission to address conventional challenges in construction

With invaluable support from partners like VORM and Rabobank during the challenge, we leveraged innovative solutions to pave the way forward.

How we started

Our Core Values

Challenges in Contruction

Environmental Impact of Construction

Traditional construction methods and materials contribute significantly to environmental degradation, including high carbon emissions and waste production.

Lack of Sustainability

Many construction materials are not sustainable or biodegradable, resulting in long-term environmental issues.

Resource Depletion

The construction industry heavily relies on non-renewable resources, leading to resource scarcity and ecological imbalance.

How we aim to solve them

Bio-based Materials

Developing construction materials from cup plant biomass that are carbon-negative, sustainable, and biodegradable.

Utilizing a water heat press technique to create materials without the need for harmful binders, reducing environmental and health risks.

Creating materials that contribute to a circular economy by being reusable and recyclable, helping to minimize overall waste.

Binder-Free Technology

Focus on Circularity
