Luke Schuette

Coming from an architectural background Luke is passionate about material technology, art, design, and building solutions. This has led him to the creation of: -ReNüTeq - (Material Technology Company) Structural Engineered Bamboo Technologies.

Luke began his material technology research at the family farm engineering bamboo beams for structural applications in 2003 (his final year of architecture school). This lead to his life’s work as the internationally recognized researcher, creator, and innovator of the disrupting material technology: SEB (Structural Engineered Bamboo) for performance-based, architectural, & structural applications. In 2009, as an ASTM D07 Voting member, he initiated & lead the
integration of SEB (Structural Engineered Bamboo) into ASTM’s Testing Standards Code under ASTM 5456 and serves as Chairman of the task
group: D07.02.03.

SEB/LVB was officially added into the International Building Code in 2012 as well as ICC-ES’s AC47. In 2017, he developed new patented
technologies (RLB) RadLam (Radial Laminated Bamboo) around the fiber procurement processes, production, and engineering of structural grade beams, panels, and components. ReNüTeq is the world leader in structural engineered bamboo technologies.
