Daika Wood
Daika has developed a process for creating a new material made from wasted wood and other natural materials.
About Us
Daika has developed a process for creating a new material made from wasted wood and other natural materials without utilizing any plastics or hazardous materials. Its process enables wood materials to be extruded, molded, or printed, opening up new opportunities and applications for shaping and processing wood.
The company demonstrated an initial proof of concept in industrial manufacturing processes. The resulting products retained the unique characteristics of wood, such as its warmth, feel, and acoustics, as well as the ability to be processed like regular wood.
Relevant Challenges
Waste Management
Innovations in sorting, recycling and recovery processes and infrastructure for optimal conversion and utilization of waste (biomass and inert materials) for the production of new raw materials.
Product Design
Designing with attributes that support circularity such as longevity, durability, biodegradability, recyclability, modularity and disassembly.
Biomaterials
Materials generated from a renewable and sustainable bio-based source (including low or carbon negative plant, fungi and algae sources and by-products) as well as waste streams (such as urban and agricultural biowaste and waste-water sludge) and via microbial and enzymatic processes.
