About

VANK_BIO is an innovative material crafted using cutting-edge technology, featuring a biocomposite blend derived from flax and hemp fibers. This sustainable alternative replaces traditional petroleum-based polyurethane foam in VANK’s products, delivering significant environmental benefits. Designed for circular economy principles, the panels and modular furniture contribute to a sustainable future, with crops boasting a negative carbon footprint. By eschewing primary petrochemicals and opting for renewable raw materials, VANK_BIO substantially reduces CO2 emissions, a key contributor to global warming. Flax and hemp plants actively absorb CO2 during their growth cycle, converting it into biomass through photosynthesis. This biodesign approach yields products with markedly lower carbon footprints compared to conventional office furniture, aligning with eco-conscious initiatives.
