Backed by
Today, most bark from sawmills is stockpiled and eventually burned despite low fuel efficiency. We reclaim this overlooked stream and turn it into a valuable building component that fits standard construction workflows.
Traditional timber processing creates significant waste streams that are often burned or landfilled, representing both environmental and economic inefficiencies.
A cladding panel made from surplus bark and our proprietary bio‑based binder. Designed as exterior façade or interior wall panel, with a concealed fastener system and water‑shedding overlap profile.
Concealed fastening
Clean surface with hidden screws
Timber‑system ready
Aligns with standard battens
Outdoor durability
Natural weather & UV resistance
Acoustic comfort
Dense composite helps dampen sound
Our binder is based on tannins extracted directly from the same bark used in our cladding panels, creating a fully integrated material system with multiple functions derived from a single natural resource.
Natural Tannin Foundation
Bark naturally contains tannins, plant-based polyphenols that form the foundation of our binder system, engineered for strong adhesion, dimensional stability, and resistance to moisture and fire.
Circular Material Logic
This approach minimizes external inputs and maximizes the potential of an overlooked byproduct, resulting in a high-performance, bio-based composite where both structure and binder originate from the same raw material.
Validated Performance
The binder has been validated through fire testing and durability studies, is being refined for final certifications, and represents a step forward in low-impact materials for the built environment.
Bio‑based & VOC‑free
Binder derived from bark tannins; no formaldehyde or isocyanates.
Carbon‑storing
Locks CO₂ and reduces embodied emissions compared to conventional panels.
Circular by design
Single source material logic supports end‑of‑life recovery.
Aesthetic quality
A natural, tactile surface that ages with dignity.
