botanical crystal

About 750 of the 350,000 plant species accumulate minerals in their tissues: nickel, cadmium, zinc, cobalt, silicon, etc.
We are researching methods to extract these minerals from plants and developing a resource procurement system that does not harm the natural environment. Our goal is to build a supply chain that operates in harmony with the Earth's ecosystem.

Overview of our innovation

We manufacture jewellery, interior furnishings, and tableware from plants that naturally contain silica the primary
component of glass, crystal, and gemstones.

Key features

By employing proprietary technology, we create a rich colours derived from the minerals inherent within the plants.

Problem we are solving

Through “Botanical Glass”, “Botanical Crystal” and “Botanical Gemstone”, we aim to address the environmental
destruction caused by mining and realise a circular flow of resources and benefits across different industries.

Reduced mining
Reduced deforestation
Reduced Co2 emissions
Production of renewable energy
Energy self-sufficiency
Increased farmers’ income
Traceability

Our goal

Building an “Extended ecosystem” : A supply chain linked to the “Earth’s ecosystem”. A new manufacturing system crossing through industries.
