We're building 3D printers to print our plant-based Green Camps from which we host amazing regenerative programs!

We're still collecting donations

On the 7th December 2020 we'd raised £9,445 with 19 supporters in 35 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.

GREEN VISION

1604281980_green_campus_sequence_a1_after_1.jpg

Green Campus is developing large format 3D printers and revolutionary bio-materials with which we are printing our Green Camp System: an off grid habitat. This allows us to print Green Camps which provide plant based accomodation in nature and larger Green Campuses where we can deliver our regenerative programs.

Green Campus is about working out and celebrating the kindest ways to provide for all of our needs. 

Our hope is that wherever we deploy a Green Campus we have a regenerative effect on consciousness, community, environment and circular economies. We invite you to come and work on creating an inspiring example of the culture of compassion with us.


LONGER VERSION OF THE GREEN CAMPUS CROWDFUNDING FILM

GREEN MANUFACTURE SYSTEM

1604274768_robot_3d_printer_small.png

Over the past four years we have been working with the world’s leading composite and large format 3D printing engineers to create the largest, most flexible, greenest, most economical and most accessible 3D printing platform.

With what we have learned, we are now able to put together a robotic arm 3D printing platform for £35,000 with is 4x cheaper than the next available robotic arm platform.

This means we can print the panels and modular subassemblies of The Green Camp System with incredible speed, accuracy, wherever manufacture is needed and with very basic skills.


GREEN MATERIALS

1604274811_materials_feathered_2.png

We are very proud to be working with the world’s leading bio-composites chemical engineers who have developed 100% non-toxic, 100% plant based bio-materials made from food and organic fibre waste.

These cradle to cradle bio-materials can be combined with natural fibres like hemp, jute, even meadow-grass to offer a one for one replacement for conventional composites.

We have been optimizing the materials for use in the 3D printers and for basic mechanical properties, weather stability and fire safety.

We now have a good body of test data from independent and government laboratories and our own structures and furnishings with which to showcase these materials for different market segments.

GREEN CAMPS

PRODUCT
These technologies allow us to print our Green Camp System, modular structures that are able to be manufactured and assembled with unparallelled speed and efficiency to provide eco-accommodation and event spaces.

BUSINESS MODEL
Our main business model is to set up beautiful eco (all plant based as a rule) accommodation and event spaces in partnership with landowners, building the camps for them for free and operating the camps with them in a revenue sharing basis according to a franchise codebook and rental agreement until we can start to buy our own land.

USP

Our members and staff who contribute to Green Campus by coming to stay with us and hosting or joining in our regenerative programs are awarded shares in the company proportional to their contributions so that the more you come to stay at Green Campus and contribute to the regeneration of consciousness, community, environment and co-operative economies then the more of a share of those lands that you are regenerating you earn. This is the opposite of the consumer model, this is an economic democracy within our plant based ethical principles.
