Our Purpose

Kaiima means sustainability in Hebrew (בר קיימא).

Castor oil possesses the same properties – some of them superior – of mineral oils, making it capable of replacing fossil-based oils in all applications – including biofuels and biomaterials – in a sustainable manner. Today, castor oil is a product aligned with the circular economy concept, as it is entirely recyclable and has a low environmental impact.

Kaiima’s purpose is the development of sustainable, environmentally friendly, agronomically viable, and economically profitable solutions through castor beans and their derivatives.

Kaiima aims at making a decisive contribution to the development of a sustainable world through the circular economy.

Our Mission

Create sustainable, renewable, and scalable solutions, economically producing castor oil as a renewable raw material with high added value for the biofuels and biomaterials industry.
