Revaluing The Invaluable
with localized production of bio-based construction materials
We make bio-based insulation
boards from surplus straw
At BIO-CM we believe we have to rethink where our materials are coming from and what we are choosing to build with for the future
Sourcing Materials locally…..
Our Process
Our extraction process is done with no harsh chemicals, or toxins, it extracts the fibres so that they can bind together without the use of artificial resins, and form them into insulation boards with any size and thickness.
AWARDS and Achievements
We had the opportunity to compete in the world’s largest green business ideas competition, where we ranked 1st place in the UK nationals finals and went on to win 1st place in the Regional European finals.
We are pleased to announce that earlier this year, we were Selected to take part in the Greenhouse Accelerator Program, led by the Undaunted Team at Imperial College London.
