PlanaWood, a sustainable substitute for natural wood, is a groundbreaking solution by Plana to tackle deforestation, plastic waste, and agricultural issues. Made from 60% rice husks, 30% plastic waste (HDPE), and 10% additives, PlanaWood closely resembles real wood, especially Iron Wood, in shape, strength, and texture. This innovative approach transforms unused plastic waste and rice husks into a valuable material, extending its usability, durability, and quality. With PlanaWood, Plana aims to create sustainable products that can become the main substitute for natural wood to reduce deforestation rates, reduce plastic and husk waste, and increase farmers' welfare by utilizing unused rice husks.
Over seven years of research and development have gone into creating PlanaWood, which boasts advantages such as anti-termite, anti-weathered, and fire retardant properties. The solution has undergone rigorous testing, including tensile strength, moisture resistance, and heat resistance, and has received certifications and awards for its sustainability and innovation.
The impact of PlanaWood include:
Reducing deforestation by offering a sustainable alternative to natural wood.
Reducing plastic waste by upcycling plastic waste into a useful product.
Improving farmers’ welfare by creating an additional income source for farmers by utilizing rice husks.
Showcasing sustainable solutions and raising awareness about the importance of sustainability.
