Our portfolio opportunities

Modern Meadow was founded to address the pressing global challenge: the materials that underpin the way we live, work, and play and that support our well-being are fundamentally unsustainable. We believe it’s possible to have it all: high quality, high performing, beautiful and affordable materials that substantially improve sustainability.
