— OUR MISSION
PROVIDE BETTER MATERIALS
There are so many options for panels, that it becomes difficult to see which ones truly solve the sustainability issues.
MDF, Plywood, Fibreboard…
→ Cheap, but fossil-based resins, not healthy and not circular
Veneer or bio-laminates
→ Pretty, but hiding the MDF or fibreboard doesn’t remove the fossil-based resins
Recycled plastic panels
→ Still fossil-based, and how many times can they be recycled?
Cellulose based panels
→ A good option, if they deliver the required mechanical properties without adding glue
Natural stone & marble
→ Natural, but extractive and ending
Our technology moves away from —
EXTRACTIVE (FOSSIL-BASED or MINED)
NON-NATURAL RESINS AND GLUES
ONLY ‘ECO’ AT THE SURFACE
— towards
REGERERATIVE
NATURAL BONDS
SOLID SUSTAINABILITY
