Rice Husk Biomass: A Sustainable Alternative to Timber for Everyday Spaces

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 husks are given a second life through the Rice Husk Biomass collection.

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.

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.
