Ideally, particle boards are made from trees and contain chemicals that are harmful to the body. As folks concerned about our wellbeing, we investigated this and wanted to find a suitable replacement that would reduce deforestation as well as be sustainable.
We have created a prototype and plan on working with consultants and engineers on the next phase of our project.
