Info
We started KUORI in 2022, and we're an innovative Swiss Cleantech company committed to transitioning to a post-oil economy by transforming consumer plastics through a circular economy approach. We leverage food byproducts - such as olive pits, banana peels, and walnut shells - to produce novel bio-based, biodegradable, and elastic materials that are kind to our earth and have a patent pending. External, scientifically based life-cycle assessments have shown that our materials our materials are 5 times more eco-friendly than regular plastics. They're not just high performing, but they also break down microplastics, cutting them down by 10% every month under natural conditions outside of a composting facility, specifically at 20°C in soil - we're the first to do this, with the hard facts to cheer about. Furthermore they safely break down in industrial composting places, meeting EN 13432 standards, which helps reduce our environmental impact and makes the earth cooler and oceans cleaner. We sell these granular materials to other companies that produce everything from shoes to camping gear and from tools to toys. Our eco-friendly alternatives are designed to perform efficiently while seamlessly fitting into existing manufacturing processes, but also protect our earth. Backed by the European Union's Horizon program and crowned with the Renewable Material of the Year Award 2023, KUORI isn't your regular company – we're leading a big change. Our team comes from all over, and we all want the same thing: a greener future.

💡10vor10 "Die Idee"💡 Ein Kinderschuh hält Schritt mit schnell wachsenden Kinderfüssen. Auch das SRF - Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen findet diese Idee grossartig und hat NEUNOI Sneaker im Rahmen der gestrigen 10vor10 Sendung vorgestellt. Ein Projekt mit Zukunft und eine Denkweise, die alte Werte nutzt, um neue kreative Ideen zu entwickeln. Es freut mich sehr zu verkünden, dass Narada Zürrer das Projekt weiterführt und bereits ein Jahr nach der Idee mit der ersten Kleinproduktion und den Testläufen startet. Ich wünsche ihm viel Erfolg und lauter strahlende Gesichter. Persönlich freue ich mich auf viele neue Projekte, bei denen die Natur und der Mensch im Zentrum stehen und eine grüne Zukunft geschaffen wird. Nach zwei Jahren beim Startup KUORI, mit vielen tollen Erlebnissen und einem super Team, suche ich nun nach neuen Herausforderungen und spannenden Kollaborationen. Mit Vorfreude auf die Zukunft wünsche ich euch viel Spass mit dem schönen Beitrag von Christian Rensch. https://lnkd.in/gMWZKDv6 #repair #circulareconomy #design #neunoi ZHdK Zürcher Hochschule der Künste Netzhdk Die Alumni-Organisation der ZHdK
