Not Exactly Wood

Resysta is a new hybrid material made of 60% rice husk, 22% common salt, and 18% mineral oil, which has the look and feel of tropical wood. Resysta was inspired by 2 Singaporean brothers whom have discovered the formula of 100% no wood materials way back in 1998.

Since then, this composite material has been tested on real life implementation on outdoor structures (Decking of Hong Kong's fisherman's pier) and has proven itself a viable solution as a substitute for outdoor wooden infrastructures.

This is some good news for the environment and trees specifically. For more info about Resysta you can head down to this link.
