Agricultural residue, engineered into a material for
better building
BIOMEBOARD™ transforms wheat straw and rice straw into a versatile board material - creating an alternative to MDF and particle board.
TREE-FREE · NO ADDED FORMALDEHYDE · CIRCULAR
HOW IT’S MADE / THE LIFE OF A BIOMEBOARD™
Skip the journey01 / HARVEST
After a 4–6 month crop cycle, grains are harvested for food, leaving behind 70% of the plant stock on the farm. This leftover biomass becomes the raw material foundation for Biome’s sustainable building products.
