Paper, reinvented

From recycled paper to high-performance panels, Richlite makes sustainable design simple.

Chapter 1: Origins

Layers with purpose

Richlite was born from a simple yet radical idea: combining FSC-certified paper and eco-friendly resins into durable, design-forward surfaces. Today, it’s trusted by architects and designers worldwide for its strength, sustainability, and timeless aesthetic.

What started as an alternative to stone and composites has grown into a trusted material in architecture, interiors, and product design worldwide. From countertops and wall cladding to furniture, fixtures, and signage, Richlite brings durability and warmth to every application.

Performance and sustainability, seamlessly layered together.

Chapter 2: Performance

Strength meets sustainability

Engineered to perform under pressure, Richlite is heat-resistant, weatherproof, and long-lasting without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. Its versatility makes it a go-to choice for demanding applications indoors and out.

Its dense composition outperforms wood laminates and rivals stone, delivering resilience designers can depend on. Beyond performance, it develops a rich, leather-like patina that only gets better with time.

A sustainable surface that never compromises on performance.

Chapter 3: Design

Beauty in every layer

Richlite’s layered composition creates a depth of tone and texture that evolves beautifully over time. From countertops and furniture to wall cladding and signage, it adapts seamlessly to a wide range of interior and exterior applications.

With colors inspired by natural landscapes, it lends warmth and richness to everything from countertops to cladding. Its durability makes it suited for high-traffic spaces, while its tactile surface develops a lived-in patina that tells the story of time and use. Beyond function, Richlite bridges performance and beauty, offering designers a versatile material that complements both modern and traditional spaces.

A surface that grows richer with age.

Chapter 4: Versatility

From countertops to façades

Lightweight yet strong, Richlite adapts to a wide range of applications—residential, commercial, or exterior. In homes, it serves as warm, durable countertops and furniture; in commercial settings, it excels in wall cladding, signage, and high-traffic surfaces; outdoors, it withstands weather as façades and exterior features; and in food environments, its NSF certification ensures safe, reliable use for kitchens and restaurants.

Designers choose it for furniture, wall panels, façades, and even skate parks, proving its flexibility in scale and function. From finely detailed millwork to large-format cladding and heavy-use public spaces, Richlite adapts seamlessly—delivering performance without limiting creativity.

One material, endless applications.

Chapter 5: Responsibility

Built in sustainability

Richlite uses post-consumer FSC-certified recycled paper and eco-conscious resins, minimizing waste and emissions. It is GREENGUARD certified for low chemical emissions, ensuring healthier indoor air quality. Select finishes are also NSF-certified, making them safe for use in food preparation environments.

By designing durability into every sheet, it reduces the need for replacements—building sustainability that lasts. Its long lifecycle not only conserves resources but also lowers the overall carbon footprint of a project. Combined with recycled content and eco-conscious resins, Richlite proves that performance and sustainability can go hand in hand.

Good design starts with responsible materials.
