The company operates within the climate technology product manufacturing sector and positions itself as a material innovation firm focused on sustainable packaging. Headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, it describes itself as a small to mid-sized team. Sway has received external recognition, including a 2024 Fast Company World-Changing Idea award.
