SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENT
BUILDING SUSTAINABLY IN EUROPE
100% wood-free. Fully recyclable. Designed for green construction without compromise. Novano delivers sustainable materials that support Europe’s growing demand for environmentally responsible building solutions, combining long-term performance with true eco-innovation.
Its advanced composition reduces resource depletion and eliminates the need for deforestation. Every profile is engineered to meet the durability, safety, and environmental standards required for modern European projects.
REDUCING CONSTRUCTION’S CARBON FOOTPRINT
The construction industry is one of the largest consumers of natural resources, contributing heavily to deforestation, carbon emissions, and material waste. Traditional building materials often rely on limited natural resources and generate high embodied carbon. As global regulations tighten and environmental awareness grows, architects, builders, developers, and homeowners require sustainable alternatives that reduce long-term environmental burden while maintaining strength, durability, and design flexibility.
NOVANO: THE SOLUTION FOR SUSTAINABLE BUILDING
ZERO WOOD CONTENT
No deforestation. No use of harvested timber or endangered hardwoods.
RENEWABLE RAW MATERIALS
Uses approximately 60% rice husks, a rapidly renewable agricultural byproduct that diverts waste and preserves natural forests.
FULLY RECYCLABLE
Novano materials can be fully recycled at the end of their long service life, contributing to circular material use.
EXTENDED MATERIAL LIFESPAN
With durability exceeding 25 years, Novano reduces the frequency of replacement cycles, lowering resource demand across generations of use.
REDUCED EMBODIED CARBON
Less energy-intensive to produce and longer-lasting than many traditional materials, lowering the total environmental footprint.
LEED CERTIFICATION & GREEN BUILDING
Novano products are engineered to contribute toward international and European green building certifications, including LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), which evaluates a building’s environmental performance across its full lifecycle.
SUSTAINABLE SITES
Novano’s wood-free composition eliminates the need for timber harvesting, helping preserve forests and biodiversity. By reducing pressure on natural ecosystems, Novano supports healthier site development that integrates with local environments. Its responsible sourcing promotes long-term ecosystem balance in both urban and rural project areas.
MATERIALS & RESOURCES
Novano is manufactured from rapidly renewable agricultural byproducts and fully recyclable materials, minimizing resource extraction and waste. Its production process lowers embodied energy compared to conventional building materials. This supports a life-cycle approach that reduces environmental impact throughout sourcing, use, and end-of-life disposal.
INNOVATION IN DESIGN
Novano’s material technology provides architects and builders with innovative, sustainable design options that balance performance and aesthetics. Its durability and versatility allow for creative architectural applications while meeting green building goals. As sustainable construction practices advance, Novano supports forward-thinking solutions that adapt to evolving environmental standards.
