GreenFusion | A technology that fuses biomass into the materials of the future—stable, sustainable, and safe.
Technology Overview
GreenFusion is a technology aimed at creating new value from discarded or leftover biological materials, such as dried grass, straw, coconut fiber, sugarcane bagasse, wood pulp scraps, or agro-industrial waste. These materials are crushed, compressed, or molded, then bonded with DRT-CoreBond™ to transform them into “engineered materials” that are strong, durable, and safe usable in place of wood or plastic in various contexts.
Technology Objectives
- Transform low-grade or discarded natural materials into usable structural materials
- Create new alternatives that do not add carbon and do not destroy natural resources
- Adapt material properties to extreme climates—such as intense heat, high humidity, or strong winds
- Enable applications in structural systems, surface layers, containment solutions, and fire/water/erosion-resistant zones
Biomass Materials Usable with GreenFusion
| Material | Application |
| Dried grasses (e.g. vetiver, Napier grass) | Used for wall blocks, structural panels, and insulation |
| Rice straw / Corn stalks | Used for lightweight construction materials or decorative panels |
| Coconut fiber / Corn husks | Used for moisture-resistant, termite-resistant hardboards |
| Wood scraps / Sawdust | Used for wood-substitute panels in furniture |
| Sugarcane bagasse / Cassava pulp | Used to improve surface structure or create new bio-based materials |
| Leaves / Various plant fibers | Used to enhance flexibility or adjust surface texture patterns |
Key Advantages of GreenFusion
- Transforms agricultural waste into high-value products
- Does not use urea-formaldehyde glue or carcinogenic resins
- Produces materials that are strong, sun-resistant, water-resistant, and fire-retardant
- Formulas can be adapted to different biomass types across regions
- Can be produced using community labor or basic tools
- Supports an inclusive circular economy model (community produces – company buys back)
Products in the GreenFusion Family
| Technology | Description |
| VoidWood | Panels or structures formed from plant fibers, used as wood substitutes in homes, factories, or resorts |
| VoidPal | Pallets made from plant scraps or waste materials, combining durability and safety |
| AgriLoop | A circular economy model that promotes grass cultivation and product-making within communities for buy-back schemes |
Field Applications
- A test was conducted by compressing dried vetiver grass mixed with DRT-CoreBond™ into blocks that withstood a 34-kilogram dumbbell load, even after being drilled through and partially sawn without breaking.
- The material is non-absorbent, non-fragile, non-flammable, and contains no VOCs.
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use—e.g., walls, fences, partitions, furniture, and more.
Who Is It For?
| Target Group | Suitability |
