EcoAerogel is a new type of silica-aerogel that outmatches high temperature resistance of all current insulators, including existing aerogels which cannot resist more than 650°C. Our aerogel can withstand up to 1,000°C (i.e. 350°C more than competitors) without significant changes, being the unique isolating material (including other aerogels) that with or without any blending provides full protection to fire and extremely high temperatures. Also its “ecological and safe” nature of its production and processing: Bio-based insulation materials synthetized from rice husk ash (RHA, an abundant, renewable and cheap agriculture residue), and 100% recoverable makes the EcoAerogel a sustainable product with unmatchable performance in the market.
EcoAerogel and its synthesis contribute to a cradle-to-cradle approach in line with the new EU Action Plan for Circular Economy and “Green economy” that includes: 1) benefits and incentives for producers to manage waste as a resource (as RHA). 2) we help to comply with EU recovery and recycling Directives, and the Landfill Directive which sets a target 35% reduction of biodegradable waste. 3) EcoAerogel promotes EU objectives related to sustainable consumption and production and contributes to EU strategic goal, by 2050, to grow in a way that respects resource constraints and planetary boundaries, thus contributing to global economic transformation. All resources are sustainably managed, from raw materials to energy, water, air, land and soil.
Our objective is to commercialize a total of 1,78 M of litters of EcoAerogel particles between macro pilot and industrial plant, 251,000 units of panels /blankets, 3870 litters of NAM insulating paste, from 2018 to 2022. NAMs turnover will rise up in 2022 (3rd commercialization year) € 3,268 M, and profit will significantly increase up to €1,21M, x16 times higher than profit foreseen in 2019 without selling EcoAerogel (73,405€). We calculate to increase our revenue yearly, up to € 8,81 M in the first 3 years, it will come from the following sources: 1) EcoAerogel particles (€ 6,23 M), panels /blankets (€ 2,07 M), NAM insulating paste (€ 15,660). Our profit margin will increase from 19% in 2020, to 37% in the 3rd year of commercialization. NAM profitability is measured and proven by ROI index, 46.6% and payback period of 2 years. We expect to increase our personal in at least 4 additional people; 1 product specialist, 1 proposer/seller, 2 administration assistants.
