Sustainable Construction

Brief

Re-board produces a strong and lightweight paper core board for the graphical market. The unique engineered structure makes Re-board® the preferred creative board ideal for 3D constructions. The surface is today developed with and for the printing industry. Re-board® is developed primarily as an alternative to plastic/foam board and MDF/Chipboard/Plywood materials. Re-board® contains no harmful components and utilizes water-based adhesives. This means the board can be recycled as paper in normal wastepaper streams found throughout the world.

Background

Re-board is primarily used as display and construction material in the retail and expo segments today. Techniques like printing and cutting are widely employed to fully exploit the board's potential. Given its high strength-to-weight ratio, Re-board aims to explore new segments where its full potential can be realized. With new legislation and environmental targets promoting sustainability, the construction industry is increasingly adopting more sustainable materials to foster a circular economy.

Challenge

The building and construction segment presents an intriguing opportunity where new environmental standards might pave the way for innovative construction materials. The challenge is to determine if, how, and where Re-board can be integrated into this industry, and to identify which products could be applicable.
