We make nature inspire us to become sustainable.

We understand biomimimicry as a great opportunity to offer a unique form of sustainability through nature’s lessons that has born and evolved since billions of years ago. We take nature´s wisdom, offering solutions for contemporary development problems such as climate change and future resource’s shortage.

What is Biomimicry?
Sustainable solutions

“Nature evolved millions of years ago. Biomimicry takes examples from it to offer sustainable solutions that improve people’s lives”.

What is Biomimicry?
Standards

“Biomimicry takes information to achieve high standards of social responsibility, care to the environment and economic growth in the long term”.

What is Biomimicry?
Ideas and ethics

“Las buenas ideas y la ética en los negocios son cada vez más necesarias para cuidar al planeta y las sociedades. Y estas se basan en la biomímesis.”

Nature over human designs

Some examples in which nature's wisdom helped to create sustainable solutions through biomimicry

ATP pump

CASES

Efficiency > 90%
The molecule called ATP ase pump, common to most organisms that inhabit earth, has an efficiency superior to 90% in converting mechanical to chemical energy. There is no machine designed by humans with such stunning performance. This type of energy currency, ATP, is then used for the majority of life’s processes.

Material resources

CASES

100% recyclable
In ecosystems all material resources are decomposed and recycled for their re-utilization. The US company Waste Management® has followed this principle to create a recycling network that is a source of materials for different industries throughout the USA.

Carbon negative

CASES

PROCESSES AT PRESSURE AND AMBIENT TEMPERATURE: Corals absorb carbon dioxide and combine it with calcium oxide to build calcium carbonate structures.Amazingly, this is performed at ambient temperature and pressures.Fortera® company has designed an analogue process in which concrete is produced under the same principle, using a low energy process that employs carbon dioxide as a resource.
