We’re working to make our cities healthier and more efficient by developing and sharing the most innovative methods for sustainable food production, energy conservation and material reuse.
The best natural resource is the one that has already been extracted. Our work begins where others’ consumption ends, where energy would be otherwise lost to landfills or abandoned.
We can and will cultivate healthier, more sustainable cities by continuously and creatively disrupting old processes.
Lasting, collaborative partnerships are key to creating environments where individuals, organizations and communities flourish.
Action is the most effective stimulus for progress. We promote a hands-on approach to research, development and education.
Access to information is essential for driving change. At Plant Chicago, we are committed to open-source distribution of knowledge.
