About
TelaNov transforms discarded fabric scraps into sustainable building insulation for the Philippine construction sector. Using a local downcycling process, textile waste is fibre-reclaimed and formed into thermal, acoustic, fire and moisture-resistant panels that meet key performance standards. The innovation diverts waste from landfill and reduces reliance on imported materials such as fibreglass. Affordable and eco-friendly, TelaNov supports green construction, creates local jobs, and strengthens the circular economy
