OUR SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
The base of our materials is Oryzite, a method created to incorporate rice husk in all types of thermoplastic compounds in a high percentage (up to 80%)
We do not use wood fibers for the elaboration of our materials, thus avoiding the felling of trees.

WHY IN NOVSUS WE BET ON RICE?
Rice is the second most cultivated cereal in the world and the planet dedicates 162.2 million hectares to its cultivation.
It is a base food in many culinary cultures such as the Chinese, Indian or Nigerian.
The cereal we eat is shell-free (which is only 20% of its weight), which makes us face one of the largest agro-industrial by-products in the world.
800 million tons of rice are consumed annually, leaving 160.000.000.000 kilos of residual husk, impossible to digest by humans.
This agro-industrial by-product, which is composed of 15% silica and 85% organic material, ends up being a waste if it is not processed to create recycled material. The gases that are generated during this burning process are highly polluting and harmful.
