About Us
AGREKA BUILD aims to decarbonise the construction and agricultural industries.
We transform waste wheat straw into an innovative insulating material to address the construction industry’s demand for net-zero materials free from petrochemicals and support farmers transitioning to circular agriculture.
Our Mission
AGREKA BUILD's mission is to revolutionise the construction industry by developing high-performance, sustainable building materials made from agricultural waste. By repurposing waste into valuable resources, we aim to reduce environmental impact, support rural economies, and lead the transition towards a net-zero, circular economy in agriculture and construction.
