Dakota Burl composite is a bio-based material, which exhibits the beauty and elegance of traditional burled woods. It is created from natural fibres and makes a good environmental alternative to hardwood. It exhibits a unique color combination of white, yellow and brown tones with black outlining of the fibres, an economical replacement for expensive decorative woods. Biofiber Wheat composite is a high-performance material that makes use of the abundant supply of agricultural products. It uses fiber from crop residue left from the harvest. This by-product provides the farmer with an additional economic resource and creates an environmental design alternative for the user.
