Materials
Choosing materials that are sustainably sourced, such as those crafted from renewable or recycled components—including repurposed or upcycled items—can help decrease the need for new resources, preserve natural ecosystems, and limit the environmental impact tied to the extraction and processing of raw materials. Upcycling, which entails transforming discarded or unused materials into new, functional products, offers a practical approach to reducing waste and prolonging material lifespans. This practice aligns with sustainability goals and promotes resource conservation within green building initiatives.
Our sustainable material types
Recycled materials
Bio-sourced materials
Reused materials
Recycled paper
Recycled White Paper
Recycled White paper is 100% made from reclaimed paper products by breaking down fibres for new paper, conserving trees, energy, and water. It's highly recyclable and significantly reduces the environmental impact, using 70% less energy and water compared to new paper production.
PaperWise Natural
Derived entirely from recycled agricultural waste, PaperWise Natural features an unbleached, natural brown colour with visible fibres. By decreasing reliance on deforestation and choosing agricultural by-products over wood pulp, this approach not only protects natural resources but also contributes to a circular economy by repurposing waste materials.
Recycled Cardboard
Recycled cardboard is crafted from post-consumer or post-industrial waste paper, diverting materials from landfills. Using recycled cardboard conserves forests, reduces energy consumption, and minimises the environmental impact associated with virgin cardboard production.
Recycled kraft paper
Recycled Kraft Paper is crafted from reclaimed fibers and retains its natural brown appearence. It's stronger than normal paper and it's produced without bleaching or further addition of dangerous chemicals.
Recycled Plastics
RPET
RPET, derived from processed used plastic, reduces demand for new plastic, conserving resources and minimising energy use. It contributes to the circular economy by diverting plastic waste, making it a conscious choice for various applications that support sustainability in product manufacturing.
Recycled PP
Recycled polypropylene (PP) is created by processing used PP plastic items, diverting plastic waste from landfills and oceans. This material contributes to a circular economy, reducing the need for new plastic production, while retaining the inherent properties of polypropylene.
Recycled TPE
Recycled Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE) are innovative materials that incorporate a significant percentage of recycled content, up to 60%, using a mix of post-industrial (PIR) and post-consumer (PCR) materials. Chemical recycling processes play a crucial role in the production of these recycled TPEs, contributing to the development of high-quality, reliable TPE solutions that are both sustainable and adaptable to various use.
Recycled ABS
Recycled ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a durable plastic sourced from reclaimed ABS products, such as automotive and electronic parts. Nonetheless, it retains the strong, impact-resistant qualities of new ABS. By using recycled ABS, manufacturers reduce plastic waste, conserve raw materials, and lower greenhouse gas emissions, making it a sustainable alternative for various applications in manufacturing and consumer products.
Recycled Fabrics and Textiles
Recycled cotton
Recycled cotton comes from post-consumer or post-industrial cotton waste, like old garments or fabric scraps. It's processed, spun into new yarns, and woven or knit to create new textiles. Choosing recycled cotton reduces the demand for virgin cotton, conserving water, energy, and resources. Studies estimates that mechanically recycled cotton saves -80% of CO2e/kg compared to conventional cotton.
Recycled Polyester
Recycled polyester, akin to RPET, is commonly used in clothing and produced from recycled plastic bottles or polyester textile waste. This alternative diverts plastic waste from landfills and lessens the environmental impact of polyester production, mitigating issues like resource depletion and petrochemicals release. Recycled polyester has significant lower carbon footprint than conventional polyester, more than -70% less GHG emissions (CO2e/kg).
Recycled leather
Recycled leather, made from discarded leather scraps, is processed and bonded to form sheets or rolls. Opting for recycled leather reduces the need for new animal hides, lessening the environmental impact of leather production, including issues like deforestation, habitat loss, and excessive water consumption.
Recycled felt
Recycled felt is created by upcycling post-consumer or post-industrial textile waste, often from wool or synthetic fibres. The process compresses and bonds these recycled fibres into sturdy sheets. It diverts textile waste from landfills and reduces the need for new raw materials, contributing to a circular economy. Especially the use of recycled wool is able to reduce up to -94% of CO2e/kg of fiber compared to virgin wool.
Recycled metal
Recycled Stainless Steel
Recycled stainless steel is made by collecting and processing scrap or post-consumer stainless steel, bypassing the exclusive use of virgin resources. Choosing recycled stainless steel promotes resource conservation, energy savings, waste reduction, and backs a circular economy.
Recycled aluminium
Recycling aluminium transforms discarded materials into new products with minimal environmental impact. By reusing aluminium scrap instead of relying on virgin resources, energy consumption is drastically reduced—by up to 95% compared to traditional extraction methods. This practice not only conserves natural resources but also minimises landfill waste and CO₂ emissions.
Bio sourced materials
Bio-sourced materials originate from natural sources such as plants or agricultural by-products, providing an alternative to conventional plastics. Bio-sourced materials on average emit -45% less GHGs during their life cycle compared to their fossil counterparts (CO2/kg).

Reused materials
Reusing materials means taking items that might otherwise be considered waste and finding new applications for them, without changing the original form or intent. This not only avoids the needs of new materials but it reduces significantly the energy usage. It possible to create new unique products with materials like plastic, glass or rubber for example.
