AirCarbon is a Singapore-based company that has developed a technology for transforming greenhouse gases into a new material called AirCarbon. This material can be used as a substitute for plastics, which are derived from fossil fuels and contribute to pollution and climate change.

The company has stated that its process has a negative carbon footprint, as it reduces emissions and also results in a product that is carbon-negative. AirCarbon has a wide range of applications, from packaging materials to fashion products, and the company is actively pursuing partnerships with businesses that are committed to sustainability.
AirCarbon was founded in 2013 by Mark Herrema and Kenton Kimmel. Herrema previously worked in the renewable energy sector, while Kimmel was a chemical engineer with experience in the plastics industry. The company has received significant attention for its innovative technology, and has been recognized by a number of organizations for its impact on sustainability. In 2020, AirCarbon was named as a winner of Fast Company's World Changing Ideas Awards, which recognizes businesses and organizations that are using innovative solutions to address global challenges.
