Detailed project

NB: this form is filled entirely by the ones submitting the innovation.

What is the issue addressed?

In the green building industry, there is currently no bio-based paneling board made from 100% natural bio-based fibers without added resin (glues), let alone a 100% natural flame retardant panel.

How is the problem solved?

Ecovon will bring the first non-additive, bio-based, renewable wood product to market which is naturally flame retardant and antifungal without added binders (glues). The physical properties are better than comparable engineered woods on the market currently.

What is the customer target?

Building industry as doors, door inserts, door frames, wall paneling, flooring, false roofing, partition panels, roofing sheets etc. Furniture industry as table, chairs, wardrobes, computer table, cot, TV cabinets, dining table, table tops.

How is this solution different?

2. Performance: Greater strength, durability and designability, frame retardant, anti-fungi properties over traditional materials 3. Circular Economy: Uniquely reduces waste and increase recyclability 4. Material Health: Does not emit harmful urea formaldehyde nor contain toxic binders or glues
