Company Performance Metrics
Carbon Trap operates as a not-for-profit social enterprise focused on nature-based carbon capture and sustainable materials. The organisation runs subscription plans for individuals and businesses that fund the planting of elephant grass and wildflowers to support carbon sequestration and biodiversity. It uses harvested elephant grass as a natural
fibre feedstock for research and development projects in sectors such as construction, packaging and textiles. Carbon Trap offers business membership options, including ecommerce-linked and employee-based plans, to help organisations integrate nature-based carbon offsetting into their operations. It also sells elephant grass rhizomes so customers can establish their own plantings and contribute additional biomass for low-carbon applications. Through these services, Carbon Trap links carbon locking in soils and biomass with practical uses of miscanthus-derived materials in the wider bioeconomy.
