Hyphen is a Danish biotechnology and production company developing innovative regenerative materials for the furniture and building industries. Hyphen Board is a regenerative board material designed to replace conventional particle boards on a 1:1 basis, paving the way for a more sustainable furniture and construction industry.
In 2021, the global turnover of particle boards was approximately 150 billion DKK and is expected to grow to around 190 billion DKK by 2027. Conventional particle boards typically consist of 6–10% glue, emit approximately 16 kg CO₂-eq per cubic metre, and are not compostable.
With the ambition of transforming this large and established market and achieving a corresponding environmental impact, Hyphen is being developed as a biogenic construction material. Behind Hyphen are SLETH, Søren Jensen, Tscherning, and Ambiente, representing a wide span of competencies and deep insights into the building and furniture industries.
