Aeropowder Ltd - Ryan Robinson
Aeropowder is creating a new circular economy powered by surplus feathers – millions of tons of which are generated around the world every single year. Their first product is Pluumo, a thermal packaging material designed to insulated food or pharmaceutical products that outperforms expanded polystyrene. The company is generating early revenue with customers in the UK. With multiple future innovations in the pipeline, the company’s mission is to enable the local manufacturing of high-performance materials, anywhere in the world wherever there are surplus feathers.
