About us

At Strawtown, we are revolutionising the construction industry through our commitment to sustainability. We have developed a scalable solution that combines our dedication to environmental responsibility with the growing demand for green construction materials. By transforming agricultural waste into high-performance building materials at our manufacturing facility in the Western Cape, we are setting new standards for eco-friendly innovation across Africa. At the core of our innovative approach is agricultural straw waste, a resource that is abundant but under utilised and often disposed of through burning, contributing to carbon emissions. Our proprietary technology transforms this straw waste into high-grade construction panels. These modular component are used to create affordable and rapidly constructed homes. But our vision extends beyond just creating sustainable homes. We aim to transform the way we think about construction, promoting a circular economy where waste is not wasted but valued. Our team of professional engineers possesses technical expertise, while our business team collectively brings years of commercial acumen. This combination of skills enables us to drive innovation in manufacturing, build strong industry partnerships, and position ourselves for effective scaling across the construction sector.
