XPAND

XPAND designs and industrializes new bio-based materials made from expanded cereals to provide a high-performance, sustainable, and competitive alternative to fossil-based expanded polystyrene (EPS) and mineral wools. By relying on green chemistry, low-impact processes, and strong scientific partnerships, XPAND transforms an agricultural raw material into technical solutions that meet the demands of packaging, insulation, and industrial applications.
Its ambition: to replace petro-sourced materials at scale with renewable, local, and circular alternatives, accelerating the ecological transition while building a new French excellence-driven industrial sector.

Expertise in bio-based materials, green chemistry, applied R&D, industrialization, scientific partnerships, prototyping, and turning innovations into industrial solutions.

XPAND develops a new generation of bio-based materials made from expanded cereals to replace expanded polystyrene and mineral wools. Its technologies rely on green chemistry, low-impact processes, and precise formulation expertise to create lightweight, insulating, durable, and fully renewable materials.
XPAND provides tailored solutions for packaging, logistics, protective cushioning for sensitive products, technical insulation, and industrial applications requiring high performance and low carbon impact.
Its offer includes advanced R&D, prototyping, technical testing, industrial scale-up, regulatory support, and the development of local supply chains.
Its ambition: turning agricultural resources into sustainable, competitive, and easy-to-deploy alternatives at scale.
