Our approach

We started by analyzing the current situation to find the biggest opportunities for improvement across the entire product value chain. Then, we looked at scientific studies and patents to find low-carbon materials. After that, we researched these materials in detail and worked closely with the client to choose the best options.

The solution

Five shortlisted materials and clear, actionable recommendations, including targeted lab tests to kickstart R&D. Each option addressed knowledge gaps and included key value chain players, enabling the client to make informed decisions and accelerate development with confidence.
