Upcycling Waste for a Greener City. We transform regional agricultural byproducts into high-performance structural materials. By repurposing renewable natural fibers, we offer a 100% wood-free alternative that eliminates timber reliance and supports Singapore’s biodiversity goals.
Repurposing agricultural waste into high-rise architectural excellence.
Supporting the Singapore Green Building Masterplan targets.
The Science of Circularity. Novano is engineered for a closed-loop lifecycle. Our next-generation materials are designed to stay in the value chain and out of Semakau Landfill, ensuring a sustainable footprint from local production to deconstruction.
Fully reprocessable into new profiles at end-of-life.
Precise offcut management for manufacturing reentry.
Formulated without harmful resins, heavy metals, or VOCs.
Durability for the Tropics. The most sustainable choice is the one that lasts the longest. By engineering out humidity-driven decay, we reduce resource consumption over a building’s life and eliminate the need for chemical maintenance.
25+ year durability resists Singapore’s intense weathering.
No toxic stains or sealers required in our high-humidity climate.
Supports LEED & BCA for high-performance standards.

“We selected Novano cladding for its timber appearance, but the real advantage is the minimal maintenance. After a year in a tropical environment, the colour hasn’t changed at all. It was a very practical decision.”
“Used Novano decking in a high-traffic area. Scratches are barely visible thanks to the consistent core colour. It performs exactly as specified.”
“As a Singapore-based architect, Novano gave us the timber aesthetic our client wanted without the durability risks of wood. The material performs extremely well in our tropical climate, and the sustainability documentation made specification seamless.”
