Made entirely from recycled paper, the ReWall Co.’s NakedBoard can be used as decorative wall board, wall-tile backer, ceiling panel, a curved wall, or accent material. The company sources nearly all of its raw materials—discarded polyethylene-coated cartons and cups—from within 500 miles of its plant in Des Moines, Iowa. NakedBoard comprises shredded, moisture-resistant, and polycoated paper waste, which is compressed into 3/8″- and 1/2″-thick 4′-wide boards, 4′ to 12′ in length. True to its name, NakedBoard lacks facing material, exposing its mixed composition. rewallmaterials.com
