Overview · Concept
A high-performance panel made from upcycled materials.
KoreBoard is a high-performance, multi-layer building panel made from upcycled materials. It replaces wood-based panels in construction, furniture, and modular building.

Read the numbers for what they are
- Design targets, not measured results. These values come from the Kore Design Team spec sheet rev 1.0. They describe what the panel is designed to achieve.
- No panels built or tested. No KoreBoard panels have been manufactured, so no laboratory or field test data exists. ASTM methods are listed as the intended test standards, not as completed tests.
- Concept stage. Everything on this page is pre-prototype. Targets may change as the design moves toward a first build.

Closed economy · Concept
From ore to board.
KoreBin makes the upcycled ore. KoreBoard is what the ore becomes. One loop: waste material enters KoreBin, labeled upcycled ore comes out, and that ore becomes the multi-layer KoreBoard panel.

- KoreBoardOre reformed into multi-layer building panels.
- BuildingsPanels go to work in construction and furniture.
The loop starts at the bin: KoreBin, the main product, turns waste materials into the upcycled ore that becomes KoreBoard.
Honest stage
Concept. Pre-prototype. Nothing built.
KoreBoard is a documented concept from the Kore Design Team. No panels have been built, no test data has been measured, and no manufacturing partner has been engaged.
No prototypeNo testsNo patentsNo customersNo revenue
No panels built
No KoreBoard panels exist. No bench tests, no measurements, no certifications.
Pre-revenue, no traction
No customers, no pilots, no revenue, no letters of intent.
The public build log records what is planned, what is done, and what failed, with nothing presented as further along than it is. If KoreBoard moves from concept to a first panel, that is where it will appear first.
