PRODUCT OVERVIEW

It’s high time that we set up the concept of sustainable development of ecological building materials. Alternatives to Plywood, MDF & gypsum need to be brought and promoted into mainstream construction. Products like MDF actually depletes natural resources, releases toxins (formaldehyde) during the manufacturing process and doesn’t bio-degrade easily while remaining in the landfills for hundreds of years. Using sustainable materials not only reduces the environmental impact but also helps to create healthier living spaces. These materials are recyclable, renewable, and can be produced without adverse effects on the environment. Biome’s offering is surely an added advantage to augment such sustainable consciousness.

After years of focussing only on building emissions, we see a paradigm shift taking place with renewed attention to embodied carbon and how alternative construction materials have a huge part to play in reducing GHG. Biome's foray into alternative timber products is a promising development for the industry.

As a workplace designer and sustainability advocate, I’m constantly seeking materials that meet both performance and environmental standards. With growing demand for Green building certifications, the need for innovative, low-impact materials has never been greater. Biome Boards stand out not only for their design versatility and durability in high-traffic commercial spaces, but also for how they’re made — entirely from post-consumer and post-industrial waste. Their circular approach transforms waste into a purposeful, beautiful product that can help projects meet sustainability targets without compromise. At the Sustainable Design Collective, we champion forward-thinking solutions like Biome that help move our industry towards a more responsible and regenerative future.

There is a desperate need for sustainably sourced & produced materials for the building sector. We’ve often struggled to find appropriate products & fall behind in our projects/ clients’ sustainability objectives for lack of choices. Biome’s effort in this space can help the industry transition away from timber dependence.

There are very few truly sustainable products in India that reduce carbon footprint! Biome’s efforts to develop sustainable construction products from post-harvest crop waste can be a great game-changer for the construction industry.

Sustainability isn’t just about buildings—it’s about mindset, responsibility, and long-term impact, and Biome’s vision aligns with a future we all hope to build.

We are all aware of the growing demand for sustainable local products that's driven by increasing environmental awareness and clients' preferences for eco-friendly options. Addressing this requires collaboration from everyone, and Biome can help bridge this through their range of products.

Biome transforms agricultural waste into a beautiful, toxin-free material ideal for architecture and design applications. It supports circularity, reduces carbon impact, and enables regenerative thinking in interiors and product applications. This is exactly the kind of innovation we need to build healthier, climate-resilient spaces without compromise.

Over the past decade, building certifications have increasingly prioritized energy efficiency and the utilization of renewable power sources. Material selection plays a significant role in determining certification scores, with clients having the potential to earn up to 20 points out of 110 through their material choices. However, all clients face challenges in this aspect as there is a lack of sufficient options available, thereby hindering their ability to attain higher rating scores.

The solutions offered by Biome are encouraging. Alternative materials which are sustainable and affordable as well as locally available are absolutely vital to create a sustainable built environment, and the decarbonisation journey will remain incomplete without such solutions.
