reusing scrap wood in wood-fibre composites with partners Rouwmaat and Innodeen, is used to underline the story. Recently, partner Innodeen was awarded – as first company in The Netherlands – the KOMO-certificate for its 100% circular biocomposite DBPS siding, fully existing of recycled wood and recycled plastic.
