Wood-textile panels
A series of boards agglomerated from multi-material compositions made from recyclables
Wood-textile panels with unique technical properties are produced from recycled materials, including demolition wood, textile and leather industries wastes. Panels are dedicated to the construction industry, including the construction of wooden houses.

Innovation details
Benefits / Impacts
Multifunctional composite materials in the form of construction and insulation panels are easy to produce by using standard parameters dedicated to wood-based panels. Valorization of demolition wood, textile, and leather waste in the field of construction reduces the consumption of full-value wood assortment and supports the transition of construction industry towards circular economy.

Technical Features
Panels are characterized by the high bending strength up to 18 N/mm2 and high tensile strength up to 0,80 N/mm2, thermal conductivity on the level of 0,100 - 0,140 W/mK for panels with the density of 700kg/m3, reduced swelling up to 40%.
Next steps, R&D needs
- Upscaling of the production process,
- Fire classification,
- Extending the application to acoustic panels,
