Earth Board
Formaldehyde-free · Water resistant · Patent-pending
01 / Product
A potential alternative to plywood, marine plywood and engineered wood — for construction, interiors and furniture — made from an underused agricultural by-product.
01
Coconut husks, an agricultural by-product, are sourced from farmers and cooperatives we aim to partner with.
02
Coir fibers are bonded with a proprietary waterborne binder — no added formaldehyde.
03
The bonded fibers are formed into dense, consolidated panels.
