Calmura Natural Walls Inc. is a social venture on a mission to reduce the environmental impact of constructing homes and buildings. Their patented monolithic biocomposite wall system, using factory-produced, modular biocomposite panels and matching infill, is known to be flood, fire, pest and earthquake resistant and therefore highly climate-change resilient. The biocomposite panels are a platform technology with many use-cases for buildings, including drywall replacement, exterior retrofits, ceiling sound reduction, decorative finish, and mass timber dry floor topper panels.
Calmura’s vision and sustainability goal is to create dwellings that will last for generations while locking carbon from waste cellulose in the building envelope. The team has completed pre-pilot research and testing at FPInnovations-UBC, and is looking for strategic partnerships to scale their pioneering venture through pilot operations to full-scale regional production facilities.
