Materials Made from Organic By-Products

Ecosphere Organics transforms food waste and other organic by-products into manufacturing-ready materials for designers, brands, manufacturers, and researchers exploring sustainable alternatives. Our materials are designed for product development, prototyping, material exploration, and circular design applications.

Material Categories

Flexible Sheets

Our flexible bio-based materials designed for soft goods, accessories, trims, packaging, and material exploration.

Available in:

  • Thin, medium, and thick ranges
  • Multiple finishes and textures
  • Sizes up to 18″ × 24″

Rigid Sheets

Hard bio-based materials suitable for product components, displays, packaging structures, panels, and experimental applications.

Available in:

  • Multiple densities and textures
  • Small and medium sheet formats
  • Development and custom batches

Coarse Powders

Dried and processed organic materials available in controlled particle size ranges for composites, fillers, and material blending.

Particle size ranges:

  • 100–300 microns
  • 300–460 microns
  • 460–500 microns

Fine Pigments

Fine bio-based powders processed to under 100 microns for color, coating, and surface applications.

Applications may include:

  • Paints
  • Coatings
  • Inks
  • Composite materials

Feedstocks

Current material feedstocks may include:

  • Coffee grounds
  • Citrus peels
  • Other organic by-products

Material availability varies by batch and production schedule.

Small-Batch Production

Our materials are intentionally produced in small batches to support:

  • Quality control
  • Ongoing material development
  • Flexible experimentation
  • Custom applications

Because these materials are derived from natural feedstocks, slight variations in color, texture, and finish are expected.
