in|stead aims to replace plastics with modified natural materials, right where they are needed. As a result, natural materials are used in completely new applications, plastics become obsolete in many areas, fossil raw materials are substituted and the microplastic input into the environment and CO2 emissions are reduced.
Natural materials often do not have the required technical properties. in|stead is changing this with its patented process of targeted modification that can be used for natural materials and is sustainable, non-toxic and biodegradable.
