Modulina is making waves in sustainable construction, and our strategies are now featured in the book “Diversity in Construction – The Gamechangers”
This book explores why innovation and new technologies in the construction industry depend not only on tools and materials, but on a new culture of thinking. Drawing on personal experience reports and research insights, it highlights untapped human and technical potential, showing how construction can be transformed in meaningful and constructive ways.
The book asks: Where do we stand? Where do we need to go? and provides actionable strategies for driving the industry forward.
Among the contributors is our very own strategist Kateryna Pylypchuk, who shares Modulina’s 6 Strategies to Scale-Up Construction Innovation. These strategies reveal how we transformed straw panels from an idea into a solution that’s sustainable, award-winning, and globally recognized.
So what makes Modulina part of the Gamechangers?
1️⃣ Product first: Foundational Beginnings

We started in 2015, focusing on making straw panels that really work: durable, energy-efficient, and long-lasting. We didn’t rush into new markets — first, we wanted to make sure our product could stand the test of time.
2️⃣Finding the Beachhead – Choosing the Right Place

When expanding abroad, it wasn’t about quantity, it was about impact. Denmark and Germany became our first “beachhead” markets, where sustainability is more than a trend. Here, local collaborations and pilot projects allowed us to test, learn, and prove our panels’ potential.
3️⃣ In Straw We Trust – Building with Purpose

Straw is everywhere, but it’s rarely used to fight climate change. By turning straw into a building material, we’re locking carbon in walls, creating homes that help the planet while keeping people comfortable.
4️⃣ Green Rebuilding Aid – Innovation That Gives Back

In Ukraine, our panels are part of sustainable reconstruction projects. From urban hackathons to helping veterans reintegrate into civilian life, we’re proving that construction can be both innovative and humanitarian.
5️⃣ From Competition to Recognition – Awards That Inspire

Recognition isn’t the goal — but it shows we’re doing something right. From the Active House Award in Lithuania to the Global ESG Awards, these milestones validate the potential of bio-based construction on a global stage.
6️⃣ What’s Old is New Again – Sharing Knowledge
Click for more
Traditional materials like straw and clay have been around for centuries — but applying them today requires new knowledge. Through workshops, the “New Fairytales Series”, and the “Voices of Innovation blog“, Modulina spreads expertise, inspires sustainable thinking in both children and professionals, and cultivates a global community around eco-friendly building practices.
Being part of The Gamechangers isn’t just recognition. It’s proof that natural building solutions can inspire, lead, and make a real impact on the future of construction.
