Product Development Manager

C-biotech

The main goal of C-biotech is to provide sustainable solutions for the building sector, cities and society as a whole. With hemp, C-biotech remediates historical contaminated soils (e.g. PFOS, heavy metals) in an ecological and natural way. We use this industrial hemp as a biorefinery to produce biomass that can be used in isolation materials, hempwood, cladding as well as in engineered solutions such as charging stations and traffic poles among others. This ways, we ensure that remediation also pays off for the farmer that cannot use contaminated land for harvesting crops.
