Rethinking
Feathers
At AEROPOWDER, we believe in the circular economy and the potential of natural materials.
We have turned to nature’s best insulator.
Harnessing the power of recycled feathers sourced from the bedding and clothing industry, we have created incredible materials that can replace and outperform synthetic and plastic solutions.
Our goal is to enable the local production of sustainable materials, anywhere in the world.
Our Mission
A white box with blue and green text on a beige surface, partially in shadow. The box has branding for "Plum" and mentions thermal packaging.

A high-performance thermal packaging solution.

Powered by feathers
Feathers are at the core of what we do.
Optimsied by nature over millions of years, feathers have a number of unique properties that enable them to outperform other solutions.
We source our feathers from post-consumer recycled materials, but to date this resource remains untapped beyond the obvious existing products - due to the inherent challenges manufacturing with such a material.
At Aeropowder, we have developed patented process to engineer high-performance insulation materials from feathers.
Our first product is PluumoPlus, a thermal packaging material designed to replace expanded polystyrene (EPS) used during life science or pharmaceutical cold chain deliveries.
But packaging is only the start. We are just getting started in unlocking an entirely new value chain from feathers...
Who we are
AEROPOWDER started as a London-based startup (and Ryan the founder is still based there!), but now our PluumoPlus facility is located in Northampton.
Like many others, we share a passion for making a difference, and dreams of a more sustainable world.
But perhaps uniquely, we all share an obsession with feathers.
