About
Daika has developed a new material to upcycle wood waste. This material is created by grinding wood waste and mixing it with water and organic compounds, including cellulose and byproducts from the food industry. The resulting product is similar in composition to natural wood. Daikawood's have diverse applications including construction and furniture manufacturing, where it serves as an alternative to conventional wood and other building materials. Its key characteristics include the ability to be molded, pressed, extruded, or used in layered manufacturing, along with high strength and fire retardancy.
