Approach to Sustainable Innovation
Pelican Project is more than a name — it is a vision inspired by nature and built for real-world impact.
Founded by Nicolas Moufflet, a pioneer in sustainable packaging and eco-design, Pelican Project brings together strategy, biomimicry, and industrial expertise to rethink how we design, produce, and consume.
Drawing inspiration from nature’s intelligence, the project supports organizations through consulting, concept development, and strategic design. Working hand in hand with industrial partners, Pelican Project helps turn bold ideas into tangible, scalable, and sustainable solutions.
This space offers a window into that mission: a place to explore breakthrough initiatives, understand nature-inspired innovation, and connect with a pragmatic, circular, and regenerative way of thinking — grounded in reality.
What sets Pelican Project apart?
A unique combination of visionary thinking, technical expertise, and a strong commitment to solutions that make sense for people, for business, and for the planet.
