How CoreCelium met Gjensidige
From Waste to Value: Gjensidige and CoreCelium's Innovative Partnership
Gjensidige, a prominent insurance company, identified a critical issue within their claims processes: the wastage of valuable building materials. Determined to address this challenge and reduce environmental impact, Gjensidige set out to find innovative solutions for repurposing these materials rather than discarding them. This quest led them to forge a promising partnership with CoreCelium, a pioneering startup specializing in the production and distribution of eco-friendly insulation materials derived from mycological biopolymers and agricultural waste. The encounter between Tawfeq from CoreCelium and representatives from Gjensidige at the 2030 Summit sparked a dialogue that would pave the way for collaboration. CoreCelium's innovative solution resonated with Gjensidige's sustainability goals, igniting a shared commitment to finding practical and environmentally responsible alternatives for managing building materials within the insurance industry.
