In 1996, the Hong Kong chemist Antonio Siu discovered a new mixture of rice husks and plastic, which, when dried, shows similar consistency and appearance of wood. Together with Bernd Duna, he refined his process and the optics of the newly invented tropical wood substitute.
Resysta already has thousands of projects around the world, which for years have been impressive with the unchanged appearance. That is why we can afford to provide a warranty of 25 years for the residential projects and 15 years for the commercial.
Resysta is made from non-wood Biofibre; Plant fibre derived from rice husk. This means that no tree products are used to produce Resysta.Using the plant cellulose fibres we are able to create a high density material consisting of approximately:
In technical terms, Resysta is composed of silica derived from rice husk and raw polymers which act as a binding agent. This creates an incredibly versatile product which out-performs traditional wood and WPC; it requires less maintenance while lasting far longer than traditional wood, and has a natural texture and aesthetic that WPCs cannot replicate, all while being fully recyclable.
Resysta offers the warmth and feel of wood, but it also embodies the sustainability and wearability that natural hardwoods like IPE or Teak lack. Resysta also stands apart from wood composites because it is a bio-based wood substitute. One touch demonstrates the difference. It’s Resysta.

Technical and ecological assessment of the Resysta material:
Resysta looks like wood and stands out for its high mechanical strength, thermal stability as well as chemical resistance. Unlike wood, Resysta is swell-, splinter, and crack-free, does not gray or fade, and withstands pest infestation. Therefore Resysta products are very durable and don’t require special care or maintenance. Resysta is a true alternative to tropical wood.
It is therefore especially suitable for outdoor use like garden furniture and outdoor decking as well as for wellness and pool areas, where high strain, aggressive weather, temperature, and environmental influences take effect. Furthermore, Resysta products provide an exceptionally beneficial eco-balance. In short: Resysta deserves the title »The better wood« in every sense.
