What We Do - Materials

In an increasingly environmentally conscious world, HOL Group are committed to offering its products with a heightened responsibility to working with sustainable materials. New technologies are now offering a fresh approach to manufacturing by becoming more responsible and offering various sustainable options.

Biopolymers

We replace oil-based plastics that break down into micro plastics, with plant-based polymers that break down to biomass, water, and carbon dioxide. HOL Group are launching several materials to replace single-use plastic.

  • unique new material
  • 100% biodegradable
  • blend of plant-based polymers
  • breaks down to biomass, water, and carbon dioxide
  • time-initiated biodegradation appropriate to product requirements
  • non-toxic and non-polluting
  • replaces fossil-based plastics
  • replaces PLA-based plastics

By choosing these innovative materials, you are contributing to a healthier planet. Our commitment to sustainability ensures that every product not only meets your needs but also aligns with the highest environmental standards. Together, we can make a significant impact, reducing pollution and preserving our natural resources for future generations.

Jesmonite

Jesmonite is a material predominantly made up of Gypsum (a calcium salt mineral) combined with water. Its composition and production process makes its eco benefits extensive.

As a component, Gypsum is a highly abundant natural resource – it is easy to surface mine making it less damaging to the environment.  Its combination with water in its production makes it far less harmful than oil-based alternatives and does not produce toxic fumes and is considerably safer than working with a fiberglass alternative. This culminates in a product that can keep C02 emissions and its carbon footprint to a minimum.

Jesmonite can be manipulated in several ways by adding natural pigments to mirror the effect of terrazzo or marble and its lightweight properties make it an excellent alternative to stone or concrete.

Gypsum is highly durable and needs very little maintenance and therefore Jesmonite is known for its longevity.

Mycelium

Mycelium is a 100% sustainable process that involves growing mushrooms on organic matter to make a strong material. Mushrooms are natures recycling system, growing on plant-based materials, self-replicating without any outside energy inputs.

By-products from agriculture are used as the stating point. This is carefully selected and prepared. Mycelium is then added. Mycelium is the vegetable tissue (roots) of a mushroom. It grows exponentially when provided with the correct nutrition and environment. The Mycelium binds the agricultural waste together into a high-performance material. The binding material comes from Chitin – a natural glue produced by the mushrooms that is naturally water and flame resistant.

The mycelium can be grown into any shaped mould to form a three-dimensional structure. After six days of growth the product is then dried and is ready for use.

Mycelium products are ideal for packaging as a polystyrene substitute, however can also be used in the construction industry, Interior display, FMCGs as well as visual merchandising.

Mycelium features include, durability, biodigestable, biodegradable, hydrophobic, flame resistant and vegan and cruelty free.

Paper Paste

HOL Group Two mannequins display floral print clothing inside a store, showcasing What We Do with innovative Materials. One wears a tan coat adorned with delicate flowers, and the other dons a dark floral jacket over a blue shirt. Both mannequins have green plants for heads, creating an artistic, nature-inspired display.

Materials produced from 100% recycled paper paste – one of the most ecological options. Paper and card are collected from certified waste recovering plants before its crushed to make the pulp. The base mix is completely recyclable and biodegradable, as it does not contain any adhesives or toxic substances. A vacuum system is used to inject the moulds to give shape and definition.

Colour is added in the production process using vegetable dyes to eliminate toxic paints.

Fittings are made from 100% recyclable steel, so following the separation process, all elements can be repurposed or disposed of responsibly.
