Planawood is a high-performance composite material designed as a sustainable alternative to traditional wood. Made from 60% rice husk, 30% recycled plastic, and 10% performance-enhancing additives, it offers exceptional durability. Unlike natural wood, Planawood is resistant to water, termites, and rot, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications such as decking, cladding, and furniture. Its ability to withstand extreme weather conditions, from intense UV exposure to heavy rainfall, ensures long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance.

Beyond its technical advantages, Planawood embodies sustainability at its core. Plastic for Nature sources rice husks from poor farmers in Indonesia, providing them with additional income and preventing harmful open burning. They also purchase recycled HDPE plastic from Indonesian scavengers, supporting waste collectors while reducing plastic pollution. By utilizing agricultural and plastic waste, Planawood actively contributes to deforestation prevention, serving as a sustainable substitute for wood decking and helping to protect natural forests. Additionally, its production process supports the circular economy, reducing landfill buildup and lowering carbon emissions.

Planawood is available in five colours—Natural, Dark Brown, White Gray, Ebony Black, and Red Mahogany. It is also customizable in length, ensuring maximum efficiency in installation while reducing material waste.
