Our materials
It is fast becoming a manufacturer's duty to design and create products which leave a positive footprint on our environment. At Storx, we strive to gain the approval of not only our customers but also the environment, on everything that we do. While it is a duty to act environmentally responsible, it should also be the main driver and motivation in creating purposeful products, like it is for us.
Our focus is on plants not petroleum to recreate everyday products like a simple pen, which are useful in life but don’t last a lifetime. Take a look at the raw materials we use to create something special.
Hemp
Nature's housekeeper, Hemp is carbon neutral and the toughest plant on the planet. It absorbs more carbon than is released while processing, more so than any other crop in the world.
Hemp hurd is tough, durable, carbon conscious and compostable. We simply utilise it while its here and nurture its versatility to create something entirely new.
Sugarcane
Sugarcane is sustainable, fully biodegradable and home compostable.
Soft and flexible with excellent properties, it’s a fully renewable resource that grows quickly, removing carbon from the atmosphere in the process. It’s so self-sufficient, its own biomass can be used to power its own production.
Corn
Corn is a versatile plant that does not let anything go to waste and like the rest of these plants has a bio-based carbon content of 100%.
A true transformer, from raw starch with a splash of water and some science, it becomes a free-flowing mouldable material. The universal plant is fast growing and abundant, grown on every continent except for Antarctica. Part of the grass family and with over 3,500 different uses, it has a lot of tricks up it's sleeve.
