Revaluing The Invaluable

with localized production of bio-based construction materials

Producing Bio-based construction materials local to you

At BIO-CM we are demonstrating that you can build sustainably while sourcing locally, at scale and affordably.

Farm to Building Approach

With our localised approach to building materials we are……

  • Preserving natural resources

  • Protecting and promoting biodiversity on farms

  • Increasing revenue for farmers by shortening the supply chain

Our Process

Our extraction process is done with no harsh chemicals, or toxins, it extracts the fibres so that they can bind together without the use of artificial resins, and form them into insulation boards with any size and thickness.

AWARDS and Achievements

We had the opportunity to compete in the world’s largest green business ideas competition, where we ranked 1st place in the UK nationals finals and went on to win 1st place in the Regional European finals.

We are pleased to announce that earlier this year, we were Selected to take part in the Greenhouse Accelerator Program, led by the Undaunted Team at Imperial College London.
