ECOBOARD or Strawboard is an environmental alternatif for woodbased panels for construction and / or furniture such as Particleboard, MDF, Multiplex or OSB. This board is made from straw from all kind of agricultural residue and uses no formaldehyde glue but is bonded thrue processing with its natural lignine added with 3 % pMDI resin. In Europe 74 million m3 of wood is wasted evry year and the use of ECOBoard can have an enormous impact on the environment. The board also seems stronger and is also much better resistant against water, fire and insects then traditional woodbased panels. Since there is no formaldehyde emission it is a concideral improvement for our living environment as well.

A part of saving forests, its carbon footprint is negatif about its own weight. In short 1 piece of ECOBoard (1220 x 2440 x 18 mm) Can reduce the harmfull effects of 4 kg formaldehyde to the human being. One tree with diameter of 25 cm and a height of 2000mm will NOT be cut. Can avoid the emission of 150 kg Carbon Dioxide. and the emission quantity is equal to the release of 100kg O2igen. or the total amount of absorbed oxygen by 1 man per year. Can change 50kg of waste straw into 50kg of treasure
