FTI COCOON
FTI Cocoon is co-funded by the Horizon 2020 Programme under Grant Agreement 700615.
MITIGATING CLIMATE CHANGE
Global land resources are under pressure in the face of growing demand from an exponentially growing population and the impacts of climate change. The time to act is now, by initiating large-scale land restoration programs involving tree planting.
THE COCOON
Land Life Company’s ‘Cocoon’ promotes tree establishment in dryland environments. Acting as a biodegradable tree incubator, it nourishes tree seedlings, resulting in high survival rates and increased resilience to adverse growing conditions, while maintaining water efficiency.
OPTIMIZING PRODUCTION
When production cost can go down, completely new, large-scale markets will open up. Our project will stimulate private sector investment in land regeneration projects and promote trans-disciplinary research & innovation.
TAPPING INTO NEW MARKETS
Our sustainable innovations address societal needs of restoring degraded areas and create a viable business opportunity for the private tree planting sector around the world.
OBJECTIVES
The concept for the FTI Pilot is to design, build and test a pilot production line in which the current processes are combined in one production line which will be optimized (energy/ water/ manpower/ speed of production) and fully integrated (automization).
Our goal is to keep technology and IP in the EU but create modular production units that can be applied across the globe for more efficient use of locally available resources and to reduce transportation costs.
We will be the frontrunner in this industry with a well-defined product on a market that is growing. Investing in nature (restoration) is a growing business and in many countries becoming mandatory for companies impacting the environment ('Polluter Pays' principle).
- OBJECTIVE 1
Maximize production output of units per hour
- OBJECTIVE 2
Reduce the manufacturing costs drastically per Cocoon
- OBJECTIVE 3
Reduce energy consumption & manufacture with 100% renewable energy
- OBJECTIVE 4
Integrate local agriculture waste materials or grasses in the product
