Transport and carbon footprint
The best way to produce straw panels is to use local materials. In order to build up a market, we are dependent on importing the straw panels from Lithuania in Europe at the moment. We hope to build the first production line for the US in New York in 2027.
We can ship walls for a 1300 Sq Ft home in one container.
A 1300 Sq Ft EcoCocon straw panel home will store (11,780Kg Co2) 25,972 lb of CO2.
This amount is comparable to what 13 trees are able to sequester over 40 years.
When we think about the straw panels coming from Europe, we think there will be a big carbon footprint, but shipping from the Factory of EcoCocon to the port in New York is the same footprint as a freight truck driving 400 miles.
