ADVERTORIAL - 

Reduco is a high-performance biobased façade material made from fast-growing European willow and plant-based binders. The panels are engineered as a fully circular alternative to conventional cladding, offering architects and builders a natural, durable, and technically reliable solution for contemporary construction.

The material is produced from pruned Nordic willow, a renewable biomass stream that regenerates every year. Instead of burning or downcycling this feedstock, Reduco turns it into a strong, dense, wood-like composite panel. No fossil-based resins, plastics, or synthetic additives are used, resulting in a 100% biobased and non-toxic material with a low environmental footprint.

Reduco’s willow composite is designed for exterior applications, including ventilated façades, renovation projects, and modular building systems. The panel is weather-resistant, dimensionally stable, and suitable for the Dutch and Northern European climate. It retains its natural structure while achieving high technical performance: strong mechanical properties, balanced moisture behaviour, and improved fire-resistance through mineral enhancement. The surface can be finished with mineral paint systems to provide colour stability and long-term durability.

The material’s aesthetic is warm, tactile, and natural, making it appealing for architectural concepts that require an honest, biobased expression. Its smooth yet subtly textured surface gives designers both flexibility and consistency. Panels can be cut, drilled, and mounted using standard woodworking tools, making installation straightforward for contractors.

Because the material is fully biobased and designed for recyclability, it fits within circular construction principles. At the end of its service life, the panel can be processed back into the biocomposite stream instead of becoming waste. This regenerative approach aligns with the accelerating demand for low-impact, traceable building materials in Europe.

Reduco demonstrates how natural fibres can be upgraded into a high-performing façade material that meets today’s design, sustainability, and technical requirements—without compromising aesthetics or practicality.
