About this material

By unwasting materials into high-quality ceramics, craftsmanship, aesthetics, and material innovation come together. Collaborating with agriculture and food industry, discarded materials like eggshells, straw ash, and broken ceramics gain new value, reducing the need for newly mined resources.

With 65-100% waste content, the clay and glaze embrace natural variations and a closed-loop system, where broken tiles can be re-circulated. Unwasted redefines ceramics in the built environment, blending sustainability, function, and circular design.
