At AEROPOWDER, we are aiming to develop sustainable functional materials from feathers. As our society continues to grow, we are placing an increasing strain on the environment through the creation and disposal of materials and products we use ever day. In a similar manner, a growing global population also faces other pressures, namely the impacts of providing food to billions of individuals. Although we consume 134 million birds a day across the world, we often forget that feathers removed from chickens are a significant waste disposal issue. We believe that by reusing feathers, not only can we ensure that a waste resource is used intelligently, but also that we can create materials that will be harness the natrual properties of feathers to create environemntally friendly high performance materials. With chicken being predicted to shortly become the most popular meat in the word, AEROPOWER materials have the potential to be found in every corner of the globe and assist in reducing the impact our society has on the world around us.

在 AEROPOWDER，我们的目标是利用羽毛开发可持续的功能材料。随着社会的不断发展，我们每天使用的材料和产品的制造和处理给环境带来了越来越大的压力。同样，不断增长的全球人口也面临其他压力，即向数十亿人提供食物的影响。尽管我们每天在世界各地消耗 1.34 亿只禽类，但我们常常忘记，从鸡身上取下的羽毛是一个重大的废物处理问题。我们相信，通过重复利用羽毛，不仅可以确保废弃资源得到明智利用，而且可以创造出利用羽毛天然特性的材料，创造出环保的高性能材料。预计鸡肉很快将成为世界上最受欢迎的肉类，AEROPOWER 材料有可能遍布全球各个角落，并有助于减少我们的社会对周围世界的影响。
