Every year, Irish woodworking facilities burn through over 10,000 tonnes of sawdust. Most of it goes up in smoke, literally. It's a waste of a perfectly good resource, and it's our mission to fix this.
We started asking a simple question: what if we could turn that sawdust into something useful instead?
The answer came from looking at what nature already does. We discovered that you can bind sawdust particles together using natural chemicals, the kind you'd find in plants and trees themselves. Organic acids and carbohydrates. Nothing synthetic. Nothing harmful. Just chemistry that works with nature rather than against it.
The process is straightforward. We take the waste sawdust, condition it, and blend it with these bio-based binders. Under controlled heat and pressure, something clever happens: the binder reacts with the wood at a molecular level, creating bonds that are just as strong and durable as anything you'd find in conventional engineered boards. No formaldehyde. No toxic off-gassing. Just clean material that actually performs.
What we end up with are solid panels that machine like MDF, hold their shape in real-world conditions, and they're genuinely biodegradable when their life is done.
But this isn't just about making a better product. It's about closing a loop that should never have been broken in the first place. Sawmills now have a genuine incentive to capture their waste and turn it into something valuable. Instead of burning it, they can sell it back to their customers in the form of premium, traceable panels. That's circular economy in action.
Every tonne of sawdust we process is a tonne that stays out of the atmosphere. Every product we make carries the story of where it came from, which sawmill, which woodworker, right back to the source. It's transparency and sustainability woven together.
We're not saving the planet with buzzwords or greenwashing. We're doing it the only way that actually works: by finding smarter uses for the resources we already have.
With this material, we can add a solid wood veneer to the faces, using over 90% less virgin wood than a solid panel of the same size.
Please get in contact with us if you would like to discuss your requirements and what if any veneer faces you would like to see applied to the material.
