Rice Husk Biomass is an innovative composite material created by repurposing agricultural waste into functional solutions for everyday and commercial use. By giving rice husks a second life, it offers an alternative to traditional timber while supporting more responsible material sourcing.
What Is Rice Husk Biomass?
Rice Husk Biomass is a composite material made of up to 60% rice husks, combined with post-consumer plastics, tyres, and other recycled materials. Instead of being discarded or burned as waste, rice husks are transformed into a mouldable resource suitable for furniture and built elements.
The material can be shaped into a wide range of forms, offering flexibility in design while supporting more responsible material use.
Where Is Rice Husk Biomass Commonly Used?
Rice Husk Biomass is commonly applied in:
Furniture for food courts and shared dining areas
Common spaces and semi-outdoor environments
Planter boxes, decking, and fencing
Built elements where timber alternatives are preferred
Its versatility makes it suitable for spaces that balance functionality, sustainability, and design intent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is Rice Husk Biomass a replacement for timber?
Rice Husk Biomass is an alternative to timber for selected applications. It helps reduce reliance on natural wood but is not intended to replace timber in all use cases.
Is Rice Husk Biomass suitable for food courts and common spaces?
Yes. It is commonly used in food courts, shared dining areas, and common spaces where sustainability and functionality are priorities.
Can Rice Husk Biomass be used outdoors?
Rice Husk Biomass can be used in outdoor and semi-outdoor environments, depending on the design, colour selection, and application. Appearance may change over time with exposure.
Does Rice Husk Biomass require special maintenance?
Lighter colours may show dirt more easily in high-traffic areas. Regular cleaning and appropriate placement help maintain its appearance.
Can Rice Husk Biomass be recycled?
Yes. The raw material can be recycled at the end of its lifecycle, supporting a more circular material approach.
