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.

Daika Wood Climate Tech relevance
Daika's approach addresses environmental concerns related to wood waste management and greenhouse gas emissions, while also focusing on the creation of sustainable materials. The method involves using natural materials, excluding harmful binders like formaldehydes and petro-chemicals, and emphasizes the reuse of wood waste. The process is energy-efficient, operating at temperatures below 70°C, which is lower than those used in traditional plastic-based manufacturing methods such as injection molding.
In terms of recyclability, Daika's products differ from other wood waste-containing materials, particularly those combined with plastic, which often cannot be recycled again. Daika's technique allows for the continuous recycling of their products, aiming to reduce carbon emissions over their lifecycle.
