RECOMA produces fully recyclable construction boards made from 100 % post‑consumer packaging waste, offering mechanical strength, acoustic performance, and fire‑rating comparable or superior to traditional OSB, plywood, and particleboard. The boards are low‑carbon, VOC‑free, and cost‑competitive, and can be used in standard wall, floor, and ceiling assemblies, enabling a closed‑loop circular economy for building interiors.

Problem
The construction sector relies heavily on virgin‑wood boards and gypsum panels, which generate high CO₂ emissions and contribute to substantial waste streams.
Solution
Recoma manufactures fully recyclable construction boards from 100 % post‑consumer packaging waste, such as beverage cartons. The boards match or exceed the mechanical strength, acoustic performance, and fire‑rating of traditional OSB, plywood, and particleboard while containing no VOCs, formaldehydes, or added chemicals. Produced locally in Sweden, the boards are low‑carbon, cost‑competitive, and can be used in standard wall, floor and ceiling assemblies, reducing material weight, installation time, and overall project emissions. End‑of‑life recycling returns the boards to the same feedstock loop, enabling a closed‑loop circular economy for building interiors.
Target Audience
Primary customers are architects, contractors, and building developers seeking sustainable, high‑performance board materials for residential, commercial, and public construction projects.
