Beyond wood
We pioneer the development of advanced biopolymers derived from wood byproducts.
Rethinking what wood can become
Driven by Minelli Materials, ‘Beyond Wood’ is our proprietary approach to the circular economy. We capture wood residues from our own manufacturing processes and re-engineer them into advanced biopolymers. This is where sustainability meets ultimate versatility: designed for injection molding, our circular compounds can be shaped into custom, high-performance solutions, replacing fossil-based components across multiple industries.
mBlack™: 100% earth-friendly material
mBlack™ is a breakthrough in sustainable material engineering.
Derived from biochar obtained from wood processing waste, it is a natural, compostable alternative to traditional plastics. It contains no fossil-based components and releases no microplastics throughout its life cycle.
Designed particularly for cosmetic packaging, mBlack™ combines aesthetic refinement, structural reliability and environmental responsibility. Its composition enables it to function as a long-term carbon sink, contributing to efforts to cool the climate while replacing conventional plastics that persist in ecosystems for centuries.
Wooba™: Closing the Loop
Wooba™ gives a second life to approximately 10 tons per day of wood chip waste generated within Minelli’s production plants.
Certified FSC and compliant with EUTR 995 regulations, the wood we process originates from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic value to local communities.
Through intelligent blending of wood scrap with biodegradable materials derived from renewable sources, Wooba™ transforms waste into distinctive, circular-design packaging solutions.
Plant your Wooba™ jar and contribute to closing the material loop.
CarbonWood™: beyond the ordinary
CarbonWood™ laminate is where advanced engineering meets material heritage. The result of more than two years of dedicated research, it combines carbon fibres with carefully selected wood to create a new generation of high-performance stocks.
The result is a material that is stronger and lighter than traditional wood while retaining its warmth, elegance, and prestige. CarbonWood™ delivers structural performance, dimensional stability and weight reduction without compromising the tactile and visual qualities that only wood can offer.
mCork™: natural texture, engineered performance
mCork™ extends our innovative approach by combining the sustainable foundation of mBlack™ with natural cork granules. Designed according to the same circular principles, it integrates renewable resources into a refined bio-based composite tailored for premium applications.
The cork granules, available in different sizes, create a distinctive tactile surface and an organic visual depth that enhances both perception and grip. The result is a material that feels warmer, more substantial and naturally sophisticated, while maintaining structural reliability and environmental responsibility.
