About the Founder

Eric Stevens is a supply-chain strategist and industrial systems operator with experience in global manufacturing, logistics, and material innovation across Asia and the United States. He has built factory programs, developed products from concept to market, negotiated sourcing and trade partnerships, and holds multiple patents including BumperBib®, Kewi Cover®, and The EcoPrint Label®.

His current work spans industrial hemp and bamboo integration, decentralized processing models, and the development of open-access research archives to support a regenerative, post-petrochemical economy. Stevens is also the author of Evolution Mine: The Industrial Evolution, which documents the suppressed history of natural fiber alternatives and outlines a blueprint for domestic bio-manufacturing capacity.

He founded The Bioeconomy Foundation to ensure that data, history, and evidence remain public — and that the next industrial system is built on transparency, community benefit, and execution over theory.

Board Expansion 2026

Our governance model is intentionally lean, precision over size.

Advisory seats will open in February 2026 to expand oversight across research, engineering, agriculture, and public-benefit economics.
