Project Summary / Description:

NamaSAP is a biodegradable, plant-based superabsorbent designed to replace traditional fossil-based materials used in products like diapers, agricultural hydrogels, and food packaging. It offers the same high performance while being eco-friendly and cost-effective, while helping cut CO2 emissions by up to 50%. Its scalable production process and three industry-specific variants make it a viable alternative for large-scale adoption, addressing both environmental concerns and industrial needs.

How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

['Reduces GHGs (e.g., projects that reduce sources of GHGs, such as through efficiency or other changes in consumption)']

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

Namalab empowers underrepresented groups in the climate movement by prioritizing diversity and inclusion in both our internal operations and external partnerships. We actively recruit women, people of color, and individuals from climate-vulnerable communities, ensuring diverse perspectives in our R&D, manufacturing, and leadership teams.

In our supply chain, we collaborate with local, sustainable raw material providers, often in regions that are impacted by climate change, creating economic opportunities for marginalized communities. We also support educational programs and internships for youth in underserved areas, providing mentorship and hands-on experience in green chemistry and sustainable manufacturing.

Internally, our team includes diverse voices at every level, from researchers to senior leadership, promoting a culture of equity and empowerment. Through these initiatives, we aim to amplify the voices of underrepresented groups, ensuring that the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy is inclusive and equitable.
