Hi, it is made from Sugarcan Bagasse, see here : http://www.mywallart.com/ecoproduct

I found these on one of the designer websites I shop at and just had them installed in my kitchen. Absolutely fabulous! I bought them for $69 a box of ten and bought 4 boxes. I need to put a protective coating on them because water will interfere with the integrity of the material. My installer tested a piece with water and it started to shred, so I want to keep them a crisp white and washable. They come in an array of styles. I simply love my kitchen! Of course, the top half of my walls are wallpapered with Thibaut black fern with a slim acrylic trim around the room. God! It's so beautiful, I can hardly believe I designed my own kitchen.
