- From AshThe aim of From Ash is to use the common waste material fly ash as the main element of a new production process. The alkali-activated material is part of the geopolymer family and can easily be made by using basic chemical components. The material becomes mechanically strong within a few hours, allowing a simple production system everywhere near the thermal power plant.
- 850°C Ash concreteWaste is burned in incinerators at 850 degrees Celsius (1560 degrees Fahrenheit). What remains at the bottom of the incinerator are chunks of unburned material and ashes, called bottom ash. Dutch designer Carmen Reus discovered this ash can be added in terrazzo. The surfaces give an impression of the things that we throw away and show the remnants of our throw-away society.
- ExCinere® Volcanic ash–glazed porcelain tilesExCinere® is a collection of porcelain tiles finished with glazes made from volcanic ash. Developed by Dzek in collaboration with Formafantasma, the material combines an industrial ceramic base with naturally occurring volcanic matter, resulting in surfaces that express mineral variation while meeting architectural performance requirements. The tiles are formed from a dense, vitrified porcelain body that provides low water absorption, high mechanical strength and long-term durability.
