About us
Plantd is the quickest way to pull carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and turn it into useful, durable products. Starting with the homebuilding industry, we are leading a shift to carbon-negative materials made from perennial grass and building the factory of the future to ensure atmospheric carbon dioxide captured on the farm is locked away inside the walls, floors, and roofs of new homes. We are a venture-backed startup whose production and engineering teams are led by former SpaceX engineers and whose mantra is Move Fast and Fix Things. Recently, Plantd was awarded the Most Innovative Startup at the 2023 International Builder Show. Plantd won the 2023 Product Award in Sustainability from Products That Count, and we are a finalist for the Ivory Prize in Housing Affordability. Our carbon-negative materials and innovative climate change solution have been covered by numerous media outlets, including Fast Company, Forbes, TechCrunch, The Weather Channel, and The World Economic Forum.

Huade Tan and Nathan Silvernail, both with engineering backgrounds from SpaceX, are reshaping our approach to sustainability. During his five years at SpaceX, Huade focused on the Environmental Control and Life Support Systems (ECLSS) for the Crew and Cargo Dragon spacecraft, ensuring safe manned and cargo missions to the international space station. Nathan, who spent seven years at SpaceX, contributed to a range of projects, from rockets to spacecraft and the manufacturing plants that built them. At Plantd, their goal is to revolutionize the development of building materials by prioritizing hardware and efficiency. Together, they’ve established a company where every decision is made with purpose rather than profit. They are committed to creating sustainable solutions that reduce environmental impact and enhance resource efficiency. Explore some highlights from their time at SpaceX and see the visionary leaders driving Plantd forward. They’re not just steering the company; they’re spearheading the necessary changes for a more sustainable future.
