Ecosphere Organics Sample Kits

Description

Explore Materials Made from Organic By-Products

Ecosphere Organics transforms food and organic waste into high-performance, bio-based materials for design, manufacturing, and material innovation.

Our sample kits are designed for hands-on exploration, giving you access to a curated selection of materials across different textures, formats, and applications.


Choose Your Sample Kit

Select from four material categories based on your application needs:

Flexible Materials

Bio-based, leather-like and film & translucent sheets with flexibility and texture suitable for soft goods and product applications. Perfect as a base material for products or for further customization through coatings, embossing, lamination, and other finishing techniques.

  • Approx. 6″ × 4″ samples
  • Varying textures and finishes
  • Applications: accessories, fashion, product surfaces

Rigid Materials

Durable composite materials with structural properties for hard goods and prototyping.

  • Approx. 6″ × 6″ samples
  • Dense, compressed and/or sheet formats
  • Applications: panels, components, structural elements

Pigments (<100 Microns)

Fine bio-based powders processed for color, coatings, and material blending.

  • 25g per sample
  • Smooth, fine particle size
  • Applications: paints, coatings, composites, inks

Coarse Industrial Powders (100–500 Microns) & Fibers

Raw bio-based materials for use as fillers, additives, and composite inputs.

  • ~50g per sample (larger sample size can be requested)
  • Coarse particle size
  • Applications: bioplastics, composites, material development

What’s Included

Each kit contains a curated selection of 6-16 material samples within your selected category.

All samples are:

  • Labeled by material type and feedstock
  • Produced in small batches
  • Designed for testing, prototyping, and evaluation

Materials may vary slightly in color, texture, and finish due to their natural origins and batch-based production.


How It Works

  1. Select your material category
  2. Submit a quote request your sample kit
  3. Evaluate materials for your application
  4. Order additional materials or request custom development

Production timelines vary based on sourcing, material type, customization, and order volume.

Time-sensitive requests will be prioritized when possible.
