From Waste to Wonder: The Sustainable Innovation of Palm Wood Biomass
Malaysia’s palm trees are more than just part of the scenery—they’re an essential pillar of our agricultural economy. But what happens to these trees after their productive life ends? Traditionally, the wood would go to waste—burned or left to decompose. At Bareka by Kian, we see untapped potential in this overlooked byproduct.
That’s why we’re turning discarded palm wood into Palm Biomass—a sustainable, high-performance material for modern design and construction.
Giving Palm Wood a Second Life
Our sustainability journey begins with a simple idea: what if waste could become a resource? Instead of letting palm trunks and fruit bunches end up as landfill or emissions, we repurpose them into two versatile materials:
MPOB-Recognised Palm Fruit Bunch MDF
Palm Wood Biomass Block Board
These innovations allow us to reduce reliance on traditional timber while offering designers, builders, and architects a responsible, locally sourced alternative.
Palm Wood Biomass Block Board: Tough, Timeless, and Eco-Friendly
Crafted from the solid trunk of the oil palm, our Palm Wood Biomass Block Board is a strong, durable solution ideal for furniture, partitions, and interior applications.
It’s not just sustainable—it’s stylish, adaptable, and made to last.Every block board helps preserve natural forests by reducing the demand for virgin timber. This is sustainability in action: taking what would be discarded and transforming it into something with real design value.
MPOB-Recognised MDF: Turning Agricultural Waste into High-Performance Material
We’ve taken it a step further with our MPOB-recognised MDF, made from the palm fruit bunch—a part of the tree often treated as agricultural waste.
Our MDF contains 51% upcycled palm fruit bunch and delivers excellent strength and consistency, making it ideal for a wide range of applications from cabinetry to wall panels. By repurposing this material, we’re not just reducing waste—we’re reshaping the future of sustainable materials.
Design Meets Purpose: Rostro Floating Display & Harrison Planter Bench
The beauty of our Palm Biomass materials shines in the products we create.
Rostro Floating Display – A sleek, modular shelving system that floats effortlessly while grounded in sustainability.
Harrison Planter Bench – A stunning combination of nature and function, where seating meets greenery in one elegant design.
Both are made using our eco-conscious materials, proving that sustainability doesn’t compromise on aesthetics or performance.
