Duplicor®
Bio-based, fire-resistant, lightweight and CO2-saving composite.
The bio-composite material no one thought was possible
For years, cost, environmental impact and flammability were a stumbling block to using composite on a really large scale. Until now. After years of thinking, testing and experimenting, we developed a bio-composite that outperforms on all counts. Get to know Duplicor®

The facts at a glance
With Duplicor®, we set the new tone within the construction world. The first 100% bio-based composite that is right on all sides. Recyclable, affordable and sustainable. Just as we envisaged.
Bio-based resin
Duplicor® resin is manufactured from agrowaste, making it 100% bio-based.
Core from recycled foam
Foam cores made from recycled PET bottles, old plastic packaging, bio-based cork or recycled cardboard. Sustainable and environmentally friendly.
Lightweight
Up to 4 times lighter than aluminium structures and up to 15 times lighter than concrete.
Affordable
Duplicor® is much cheaper than the composite materials currently available in the construction industry.
Fire safety
Absolutely unique: Duplicor® is the first composite without a fire retardant in the highest Euro fire class B.

Lighter is better, in every respect
We send people to the moon, build a residential community in space and fly non-stop from Europe to Australia. The similarity between all these amazing innovations? Low weight. So we should apply that much more often. Indeed, we should always do it! With Duplicor® we are taking the first step towards a lightweight (building) world.
We move weight from A to B, without thinking about the deeper consequences, while we do want to build and recycle bio-based. We combined all three, and with good reason.
Save weight, build circularly and recycle
Circular construction is good, but could be smarter in our eyes. After all, it often involves a lot of (unnecessary) weight. Duplicor® bio-composite is made from bio-waste and old PET bottles. So we make new building material that is not only light, but also easily recyclable.
Light in weight and good for the environment
Duplicor® lasts a long time and is reusable. Its light weight also means it requires a minimum of transport and lifting. Moreover, at the end of a building's life, much less weight needs to be dismantled and removed. In short: good for the environment and affordable.
A 50-storey office building weighing only 2,500 tonnes? It can be done.

Constantly using raw materials to make new products is a thing of the past. We need to use available materials more intelligently and save on our fossil fuels. With this in mind, we developed the fire-resistant, lightweight and CO₂ -saving bio-composite Duplicor®.
