WHY STRAW?
Straw is an ideal material for circular construction, a byproduct of agricultural production. As a leading grain producer, Ukraine has an abundant straw supply, making it a valuable resource for sustainable building.
Why straw?
• Straw panels enhance the ESG profile of buildings, offering high energy efficiency, a healthy indoor climate, and rapid construction due to prefabricated panel technology.
