About

KiriCore Sustainable Materials is offering a sustainable core material for composites. Our KiriCore Sustainable Material is an alternative to hydrocarbon-based foams and Balsa wood currently used in the production of composites for wind turbine rotor blades. Our KiriCore Sustainable Material is based on Kiri wood, which grows in Europe. This makes it robust against supply chain problems and reduces carbon dioxide emissions thanks to shorter transportation routes. Kiri wood meets the requirements placed on core materials and is also more economical. Our aim is to strengthen the European supply chain and reduce dependence on non-European countries and non-sustainable materials.
