Daika wood

Fabricated from Nature

About

Daika has developed a new material which is 100% natural. The material is composed from natural materials (no plastics or petroleum-based materials) and wood waste in a low energy no-waste streams process. We are utilizing existing industrial mass-manufacturing processes and the resulting products retain the unique properties of wood such as warmth, sense and acoustics and can be further processed as natural timber.

We are solving two main challenges:

1. utilizing the billions of tons of waste wood (agriculture, municipal and industrial) that are not currently used in a real circular economy.

2. Creating a new raw material for mass manufacturing of sustainable process( much lower temperatures and pressure while compared to injection molding and no waste process) products. We have targeted indoor design (wall and acoustic panels) and consumer products as the first markets we are starting with.
