High-performance building materials manufactured
in your backyard.
Hundred Year Materials
is producing carbon-negative building materials from abundant, low-cost agricultural byproducts.
ADVANCED SALES COMING IN 2027
Our first products are drop-in replacements for insulation that compete on price with incumbents.
THE FIRST OF MANY.
EXTERIOR CONTINUOUS
RIGID
INSULATION
CARBON NEGATIVE.
LOWEST UPFRONT EMISSIONS OF ANY SIMILAR PRODUCT.
CIRCULAR, PROPRIETARY AGRICULTURAL FIBRES SOURCED WITHIN 100 KM OF FACILITY.
HIGH PERFORMANCE.
CO2 absorbed and stored by the plants we use far exceeds the harvesting and manufacturing emissions.
We turn buildings into carbon sinks.
Not all "carbon-negative" products are created equal.
Many natural fiber insulation products require more upfront emissions than conventional petrochemical products.
Not us.
90% of raw materials are sourced within 100 km of our manufacturing facility, providing added revenue to a network of co-operative farmers for a currently underutilized resource.
R-values competitive with incumbent insulations, and leverages passive heating and cooling effects of natural fibres to keep interior environments comfortable, safe, and healthy.
100% NON-TOXIC
A healthy home deserves healthy materials.
THE LONG TERM VISION
Bioregional manufacturing of whole home solutions near every major urban centre.
Using agricultural byproducts we already produce.
Entire subdivisions that use straw to keep warm - we're going to make it normal and we're going to make it cheap.
IMPACT
Implemented as a whole-home solution, we can sequester 15 Tonnes of CO2 per home.
This translates to >7 Megatonnes annually in Canada alone, or 0.5 Gigatonnes in North America over a decade.
