Biocomposites

Biocomposites: Reimagining Waste

Our home decor is the result of reimagining the traditional design process, where waste becomes a resource. Our products are crafted from biocomposite materials integrated with agricultural waste to derive lower-carbon footprint home decor products that are lightweight and durable.

We have transformed by-products and waste materials into timelessly elegant accessories of high value and notable substance that can be used as impressive eco-luxury packaging. They all enhance their original raw materials and follow the principles of strength and durability.

Rice Husk

Rice husks are discarded as part of the milling process in agriculture. It is a highly stable material with exceptional longevity and durability.

This waste material allows us to create objects that are both visually appealing and environmentally friendly while reducing waste from rice agriculture.

    • FDA-certified (Food safe)
    • Shatter-free
    • Mould-proof
    • Lightweight
    • Waterproof
  • Our material must be kept away from high heat; it is not intended to withstand temperatures in excess of 110°C (230°F) and/or fires.

    Our materials are rated for use in steam rooms with operating temperatures less than 80° C (176°F) and for wet application (showers baths, and indoor pools).

    Epoxy based adhesives and grout are required for installation in steam rooms and wet environments.

Coconut Fibres

Coconut fibres from the external shell of the fruit produces an end material that is hardy, with a visually tactile aesthetic. With over 60 million metric tonnes of coconut produced annually, a large amount of coconut waste is generated as a result.

By upcycling the by-product that is coconut fibre, we reduce the need for new resources in the production process.

Eggshells

Discarded and unwanted egg shells, are cleaned and crushed, then combined with resin to form a new material.

This series of biocomposites have the appearance of terrazzo and apart from natural tones, colours of blue and charcoal are introduced using plant-based dyes to offer more colourways.

Coffee Grounds

Working with cafe chains, we collect used coffee grounds which they would otherwise have thrown into their trash. With the rise in the number of cafes and coffee drinkers, the amount of coffee ground waste has also increased significantly over the last decade.

The opportunity to upcycle coffee grounds into solid surfaces that exhibit a lovely dense and slight textured look therefore presents immense potential for future building purposes.

Plastic Waste

Plastic waste is a highly resistant material whose beauty resides in the very dramatic effect that results from the random solidification of the original plastic pieces. Ocean-bound PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic waste is a public health hazard. By upcycling it, we hope to do our part to reduce ocean pollution.
