Daika Wood
100% natural alternative to wood and plastics
Daika has developed a new material which is 100% natural. The material is composed from natural materials (no plastics or petroleum-based materials) and various wood waste streams that are currently mainly burned. We have an initial POC in existing industrial manufacturing processes. The resulting products retain the unique properties of wood such as warmth, sense and acoustics and can be processed as regular wood. We have targeted consumer products and packaging as the first markets we are starting with.
