About
Made of Air is a Berlin-based carbon-negative materials company, founded in 2016 by architects Allison Dring and Daniel Schwaag, that converts forestry and agricultural waste into biochar and combines it with bioplastic binders to create thermoplastic granules. The material is used in durable applications including building facade cladding (notably an Audi dealership in Munich), automotive parts, and consumer goods such as an H&M sunglasses line. The company operates an R&D facility (“Carbon Lab”) in Berlin and has been selected for WEF Technology Pioneers 2024 and Kickstart Innovation 2024.
