- Cyclin®Cyclin® sound panels are 100% circular and based on cellulose fibres derived from paper waste streams. These soft panels have excellent acoustic properties, making them ideal for sound absorption or sound insulation. Additionally, they serve well as thermal insulation material.
- Elastic bands & cordsThe elastic bands are made from GOTS-certified organic cotton, TENCEL™ Lyocell and TENCEL™ Luxe from Lenzing, as well as natural rubber from FSC®-certified plantations, which also complies with the requirements of the European REACH chemicals regulation.
- Hygroscopic MortarThe great hygroscopic and draining properties of this material allows a high level of water filtration and lets water to naturally seep into the ground, or be captured and retained in lower layers for subsequent reuse or controlled drainage. The material consists of 85% recycled ceramics and stone, bonded with white cement, all sourced locally in Mallorca.
- (Un)woven(Un)woven is a biotextile made of inferior textile fibres, created as an alternative to the flawed traditional textile recycling process. A unique production method turns inferior mixed blends into a lightweight biotextile suitable for interior, furniture and product design applications. Emphasizing recyclability over longevity, the sturdy material can be recycled at the end of its life and repurposed for new production cycles over and over again.
- Botanical CBotanical C is a material made from waste wedding flowers. Flowers play a significant role during weddings, but are discarded afterwards. Sybil Ho's Design and Atelier ChungHan Lu collaborate to collect the used materials, sort it by colour, and extract the fibres. The fibres are then turned into objects, showing the handmade beauty, and create a new life cycle of used materials.
- MarinedeckMarinedeck is a cork deck material, developed as an alternative for teak decks. The material is non-skid, easy to clean, with a long life cycle and very limited or no technical maintenance. To utilize all of the advantages and properties of cork, a hybrid synthetic binder was developed, improved and adapted to environmental requirements.
- Rust Harvest“Rust Harvest” is an experimental materials project focused on rust. Yuma Kano Studio developed a technique that allowed to transfer only the rust from metal plates using acrylic resin. These plates are exposed to light, rain, earth, and seawater. The rust is then collected and exposed to more weathering, which creates another crop to harvest in a process similar to an agricultural cycle.
- Press mouldingsNatural fibre moulded parts are produced by high pressure moulding on the basis of a prepreg (a nonwoven fabric impregnated with thermosetting binder). The natural fibres used come from fast growing plants such as flax, hemp, or kenaf. By means of a high-precision and non-contact pressing process, the prepreg is thoroughly warmed and formed in one cycle.
- Magna GlaskeramikMAGNA Glaskeramik is a 100% recycled glass material that can be fully reintroduced into the glass production cycle at the end of its service life. Developed for the construction, architecture, and design sectors, it combines functional performance with a high degree of creative flexibility. Manufactured in Germany under strict quality standards, it is offered as raw panels—up to 2800 × 1250 mm in size (or up to 3500 × 1500 mm on request) with a standard thickness of 20 mm (15–40 mm available on request)—or as custom-cut pieces for diverse applications, including interiors and façades.
- XyhloXyhlo biofinish is a durable and 100% environmentally friendly method for protecting wood. The Xyhlo biofinish is created as an organic protective layer on the timber by first processing the wood with a natural oil, and then applying an organic coating based on a non-hazardous and in nature occurring fungus. As a result, native, less durable wood species can be protected long term.
- BioflexiThis high density panel is a recyclable and compostable freeform fiberboard for architectural applications.The fibreboard consist of 80 % to 90 % straw, a natural fibre and residual material which is available worldwide. No formaldehyde and isocyanate components are applied, making it the ideal solution for different indoor applications.
- NewspaperWoodNewspaperWood is a new material, invented by Mieke Meijer, developed together with and licensed to the Dutch design label Vij5. The material is a reversal of traditional production processes: making wood from paper.
- Eastar copolyester 6763Eastar™ copolyester 6763 is a clear, amorphous, thermoplastic polymer. Because of its clarity, toughness and melting properties, it is easily processed by film or sheet extrusion and blow molding. Eastar™ copolyester 6763 is charachterized by its gloss, transparency, toughness, fast-forming cycles, ease of forming, reusable scrap and radio frequency sealable.
- TeforTefor is a plastic laminate obtained from recycled manufacturing wastes. The recycled laminate is made of thermoplastic polymers and cellulose fibres, impregnated with thermosetting resins at different degrees of polycondensation. Tefor, invented and patented by Abet Laminati, is entirely recyclable at the end of its life cycle.
- Touch of NatureTouch of Nature Flooring Systems are seamless flooring solutions for private and institutional projects. They are composed from biobased resins with substantial addition of specific natural fillers. These natural fillers are up-cycled side streams of the agro-industry and EU-sourced. They are responsible for the unique colours, patterns and touch of Touch of Nature Flooring Systems.
