Exploration.
Do you want to test a circular material idea or unlock the value in a waste stream?
We offer you Exploration, a fast, collaborative and innovative solution that takes you from opportunity to prototype, with creativity, clarity, and low risk.
Over 10 weeks, we guide you from challenge to solution through expert workshops, lab development, and hands-on prototyping, culminating in a validated concept, a development roadmap with a clear implementation pathway, and a strong sustainability narrative for internal or external use.
from idea to prototype in 10 weeks.
-
We start by mapping your goals, side-streams, material needs and regulatory context. Together, we define what success looks like and how to get there.
INCLUDES:
• Joint discovery workshop.
• Need & opportunity analysis.
• Material/product horizon scan.
• Project plan and timeline. -
Through lab trials, sustainable material scouting and co-creation, we develop a wide range of early-stage samples tailored to your product or production needs.
INCLUDES:
• Technology scouting.
• Trials in The Loop Lab.
• Iterative material/recipe development.
• 15+ samples.
• Ideation workshop. -
Based on your feedback and test results, we refine the most promising direction into testable, presentable concepts so you can move forward with confidence.
Includes:
• Sample analysis.
• 1–3 functional prototypes.
• Development roadmap. -
We package the results into a summary report and a plan for the next step, scaling or further development. Ready for internal decisions or stakeholder buy-in.
INCLUDES:
• Final presentation.
• Project summary.
• Recommendations for next step.
• Narrative (storytelling message).
Exploring leather
with Nordic Leather Group
From offcuts to opportunity. Together, we explored new applications for recycled leather waste through material testing, co-creation and innovation across the value chain.
WHY EXPLORATION works.
Turn strategy into action.
You can turn your sustainability goals into tangible, testable results. We move quickly from high-level strategies to hands-on samples so that you can build momentum, not just PowerPoints.
DE-RISK SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION.
Explore and get evidence before you invest.
You don’t need to make big decisions up front. Our agile approach provides you with early evidence, allowing you to learn, adapt, and grow with confidence.
LEARN WHAT IS POSSIBLE.
See how circular materials can work for your products and processes. We tailor ideas to your reality, from material performance to production fit.
GET INTERNAL BUY-IN.
It’s easier to lead when you have something to show. With real prototypes and a clear story, you’ll have the tools to inspire teams, win internal buy-in, and move forward.
