Cruz Foam
Cruz Foam is a circular materials company founded in 2017 in Santa Cruz, California by John Felts and Marco Rolandi out of research at the UC Santa Cruz Baskin School of Engineering. It makes a certified compostable replacement for expanded polystyrene, built from chitin recovered from shrimp and crustacean shells that would otherwise go to landfill, combined with starches and fibers diverted from agricultural waste streams. Its products include Cruz Foam protective packaging, Cruz Cool insulated cold-chain shippers, and EcoVino wine shippers, sold to consumer brands, appliance manufacturers, seafood and cold-chain shippers, and direct-to-consumer retailers. The company was named to TIME's Best Inventions of 2023 and Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies in 2024. Cruz Foam is a materials manufacturer rather than a software vendor, and publishes no commercial or developer-facing product API, no developer portal, and no SDKs. The only machine-readable interface it exposes is the WordPress REST content API behind its corporate website at cruzfoam.com, which is captured here for discovery purposes and is anonymously readable but read-only.
Cruz Foam publishes 12 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Posts API, Pages API, Customers API, and 9 more. Tagged areas include Company, Materials Science, Sustainable Packaging, Compostable Materials, and Biomaterials.
Cruz Foam’s developer surface includes engineering blog, authentication, code examples, and 29 more developer resources.
