Nover is an innovative biomaterial derived from waste streams in Callan, specifically: wool, wood chips and breadcrumbs. Designed with the intent to reinvigorate Keogh’s Model Bakery in Callan. This unique material is crafted from by-products within three major industries: farming, food, and craftsmanship. Once the wool, wood chips and breadcrumbs are combined and baked, the properties are similar to composite boards however, has a higher natural content, especially thanks to the disuse of synthetic adhesives. It is light yet strong and highly resistant to compression.


Nover was created as part of the ’Til Now’ project, which focuses on eco-social, biodiversity collapse and spatial justice in Ireland. This initiative was part of a €5.8 million Creative Climate Action Fund. The aim was to develop solutions for climate change, biodiversity regeneration; and giving new economic and sustainable possibilities for Irish communities.
