Nover
Material made of wool, breadcrumbs & wood chips
NOVER is an innovative biomaterial derived from waste streams in Callan, specifically: wool, wood chips and breadcrumbs. Designed with the intent to reinvigorate Keogh’s Model Bakery in Callan. This unique material is crafted from by-products within three major industries: farming, food, and craftsmanship. Once the wool, wood chips and breadcrumbs are combined and baked, the properties are similar to composite boards however, has a higher natural content, especially thanks to the disuse of synthetic adhesives. It is light yet strong and highly resistant to compression.
