Groam

Groam is on a mission to convert agricultural biomass waste streams into new biodegradable foamed materials.

Foams

Foams are all around us: in our insulation, car interior, protective packaging and many more. Polymeric foams have excellent properties and functions like damping, cushioning, insulating or simply sparing material. The light and bulky foams are however very hard or impossible to recycle and mostly not biodegradable. This is especially alarming for fast disposables.
Our story

The story of Groam started with a PhD project focused on foaming food biomaterials. A new foaming technology was developed and patented. Groam is now on its way of testing this technology with renewable materials and creating foams for multiple sectors.
Our vision

We believe in a future of recycling and renewable resources. This is why we started screening different kinds of waste streams and their components and thinking of how to foam them. Today, Groam has a vision of creating foams based on agricultural waste streams at the same performance and price as today’s foams. In the future, Groam plans to establish connections with agricultural waste stream producers and converters to develop a whole new supply chain connecting the food and polymeric foam industry and bringing impactful products to the consumers.

Products from our foam

										  SHORT TERM

Our first product is a foam based on agricultural waste for plant substrates. We see especially high potential for plugs used in hydroponic farming.
MID-TERM

In the future, we plan to expand to biodegradable protective packaging for e-commerce.
