## About Made of Air

Made of Air is a Berlin-based climate technology company founded in 2016.

The company specializes in producing carbon-negative thermoplastics by transforming waste biomass, primarily wood waste, into functional materials that sequester CO2 from the atmosphere. Their mission is to reverse climate change by creating valuable ingredients for low-carbon products, effectively turning manufactured goods into engineered carbon sinks. Utilizing pyrolysis, Made of Air converts waste wood into biochar, which is then functionalized into carbon-negative additives for polymers. Their offerings include biocarbon-based fillers, sustainable boards, and moldable thermoplastics that can replace fossil-based materials in various industries. The company serves the B2B market, collaborating with notable partners like Audi, H&M Group, and BMW to develop sustainable solutions for construction, automotive, and consumer goods. Made of Air aims to significantly impact carbon sequestration, with a goal of storing up to 1 gigaton of CO2 annually by 2050.
