At Novano, sustainability begins with better material innovation. Our Enhanced Fiber Composite (EFC) technology transforms renewable agricultural fibers and recycled materials into high-performance exterior building systems designed to last for decades. By reducing dependence on timber, extending product lifecycles, and supporting responsible manufacturing, we help create buildings that perform better while reducing their long-term environmental impact.
Enhanced Fiber Composite (EFC) is engineered using renewable agricultural fibers, including rice husk, together with recycled polymers and carefully selected mineral additives. By giving new purpose to agricultural by-products, Novano reduces dependence on virgin timber while creating durable exterior materials designed for modern architecture.
Utilizes agricultural by-products that would otherwise go unused.
Helps reduce demand for harvested hardwoods while preserving natural forests.
Combines renewable and recycled resources into long-lasting exterior building systems.
Sustainability extends beyond raw materials. Novano products are engineered with long-term resource efficiency in mind, from manufacturing through installation and eventual recycling. Our materials are designed to remain in the value chain, reducing waste while supporting more sustainable construction practices.
EFC materials can be reprocessed into new composite products at the end of their service life.
Production offcuts can be returned to the manufacturing process, reducing unnecessary material waste.
Manufactured without harmful resins or heavy metals, contributing to healthier building environments.
One of the greatest contributors to sustainability is durability. Exterior materials that require fewer replacements consume fewer resources over the lifetime of a building. Enhanced Fiber Composite (EFC) is engineered to resist moisture, termites, UV exposure, and weathering, reducing maintenance requirements while extending the service life of exterior applications.
Designed for decades of outdoor performance with minimal maintenance.
Suitable for projects pursuing sustainable building objectives and environmental certifications.
Reduced maintenance and replacement contribute to lower long-term resource consumption.

βWe chose the Novano cladding for its wood-like texture, but the real winner is the low maintenance. After a year, the color is exactly the same, and all it needs is a quick wash. It was truly a smart investment that completely changed the look of our home.”
“Specifying Novano solved two major challenges: meeting Class 1 fire resistance and achieving our LEED material credits. The transparent documentation and the composition allowed us to hit our sustainability targets without compromising the design vision. This material performs.”
“We used the Novano decking in a high-traffic area, and it has been fantastic. A few things have been dragged across it, and thanks to the consistent core color, any scuff marks disappear immediately. It truly is dimensionally stable and holds up to everything.”
