About
Kenaf Ventures is an Israeli cleantech company focused on reducing global CO2 emissions and the use of polluting materials by the industrial sector. By leveraging the company's know-how, intellectual property, and the mechanical properties of natural fibers such as kenaf and hemp, Kenaf Ventures creates bio-based raw materials that meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals (9 out of 17), end users' demand for sustainability, and manufacturers' requirements for green solutions with improved properties and at competitive prices.
The company's products rely on its abilities to combine high percentages of natural fibers with other raw materials such as plastic, wood, and cement, while reducing the use of those materials, improving the properties of the final product, and maintaining a competitive price. Kenaf focuses on three major industries: plastics (bioplastic), construction (bio-block, bio-plaster), and insulation (substitute for styrofoam and rock wool).
