The Pr blem
The world is facing a critical carbon crisis, with escalating greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change and its far-reaching consequences. The need of the hour is a comprehensive approach that tackles emissions at their source while simultaneously drawing down existing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
The S luti n?
Material Maxim's Natural Fiber Compounding Partner Material Legacy Group offers a game-changing approach to decarbonization by harnessing the incredible potential of hemp and other natural fibers as carbon sequestering agents. Hemp's rapid growth, high biomass yield, and carbon-negative properties make it an ideal tool for combating climate change, while opening up a world of sustainable opportunities.

Managing Material Lifecycles
Whether it’s helping businesses manage existing materials or create new ones, we guide commercial practices that minimize waste, conserve resources, reduce environmental impacts, and optimize economic efficiency.
Designing Net Zero Consumer Behavior
Like businesses, individuals also play a critical part in circularity. Leveraging our leadership position, we create strategies, products, systems, and environments that encourage and facilitate sustainable consumer choices.
Engineering Net Zero Products
Net zero goals call for producing products with minimal carbon footprint over their entire life cycle. We help our clients understand the environmental impacts of its products and create strategies for producing net-zero products.
Strategic Roadmaps and Communication
Net-zero behavior can be an intricate and ongoing process, which we make more approachable and realistic. We help companies incorporate strategic and practical plans so that sustainability is not just something they practice, but who they are.
Circularity Services
As material management experts and thought-leaders in the circularity space, we shepherd businesses toward a more responsible future with less waste. We’ll align circularity goals with practices such as recycling infrastructure, remanufacturing, material selection, and more.
By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and regenerative practices, we can not only reduce carbon emissions but also actively restore and rejuvenate our planet, paving the way towards a sustainable and thriving future for all.
Material Legacy Group Core Principles
Natural Fiber-Centric: Material Legacy Group recognizes the intrinsic value of hemp and other natural fibers as versatile, renewable, and environmentally-friendly resources. It promotes the integration of these fibers into various industries, ranging from textiles and construction to agriculture and biotechnology.
Sustainability First: The foundation of Material Maxim and Material Legacy 4D Fiber Economics lies in sustainable practices. It prioritizes circular economies, zero-waste production, and responsible sourcing to minimize ecological impact throughout the product lifecycle.
Carbon Sequestration: At the heart of 4D is the concept of carbon sequestration. Natural fibers, particularly plants like hemp, have a remarkable capacity to capture and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during their growth. This principle leverages the power of these fibers to mitigate climate change.
Biomaterial Innovation: Material Legacy Group champions the development of innovative biomaterials derived from natural fibers. These materials serve as eco-friendly alternatives to conventional synthetics, reducing pollution, and dependence on non-renewable resources.
