- Circular CeramicsCircular Ceramics is made from high-fired ceramic waste. The clay developed by Meaningful Matter includes a mixture of waste materials, either mixed or sorted. Shown here is: 1. Mixed waste, visible, low percentage; 2. Earthenware/stoneware, visible, medium percentage; 3. Porcelain, not visible, high percentage; 4. 100% waste (not yet in production); 5. Coloured clay and waste, temperature reduction
- RecurfPeople in Amsterdam produce on average 17 kg of textile waste per person per year. Only 16 % is collected separately. From the collected textile waste, part of it can be reused or recycled. The Recurf project focuses on processing new material combinations from biobased plastics and textile waste into attractive products. By reusing the material a circular product and business model comes into being.
- MatterpiecesMatterpieces is a movement dedicated to advancing construction circularity, pioneering the next generation of waste-based materials for design projects. The company has developed a refined cladding material made from construction debris that not only enhances spaces aesthetically but also competes with traditional market options—demonstrating that upcycling waste doesn’t have to look wasteful.
- Eggshell-based ceramics and bioplasticsEggshells, a globally abundant food waste, are increasingly recognized as a sustainable feedstock for innovative materials such as ceramics and bioplastics. Eggshell-derived calcium carbonate serves as a low-carbon alternative to mined limestone in ceramic production. Eggshells are also revolutionizing bioplastics as a biobased filler and biodegradability enhancer.

- Plastic Stone TilesThese so called Plastic Stone Tiles consist of postconsumer plastic waste. Designer Enis Akiev researched how plastic behaves in nature and found it forms plastiglomerate under certain natural influences, combing geological components with an artificial material. The tiles are the result of an investigation of how lightweight post-consumer plastic packaging could be turned to look like natural stone.
- Sustainable paving tile'De Duurzame Tegel' is a sustainable paving tile made with the bottom ash left over after incinerating household waste. Currently, 15 per cent of sand and gravel in the concrete is replaced by bottom ash, and the aim is to make that 30 per cent in the future, about 15 paving tiles per person in amount of waste. It is created by Dutch waste processing companies AVR and Renewi, and tile manufacturer De Hamer.
- Leek paperBecause it is possible to make paper from any organic material, leek waste can be used to do so as well. That paper can then be used to wrap vegetables in paper made from the waste streams of their own production. The packaging would also be the perfect medium to explain the story behind organic vegetables.
- ZelfoBlack/Light fibre flecks is made of sisal ('flume tow'). Mid Brown overall is made of coir (coconut ‘hair'). Golden brown overall is made of waste packaging fibre (post consumer waste) + Sawdust (post industrial residual). Yellow/White spots is made of cotton (industry residual) + Waste paper (Post consumer). It is designed as a laminate finish and has high wear characteristic.
