RCER2534 Cereals

RCER2534
Material made from compressed grain and rice straw, a natural and annually renewable by-product of agricultural waste that would otherwise be incinerated after harvest.

RCOTTEX2529 Cotton, Textile waste

RCOTTEX2529
Material obtained through a new technology that converts textile waste products into new engineered fibres. Cotton-rich used fabrics from manufacturing process waste and discarded fashion items are recovered by textile recyclers, brands and retailers. The textile waste is then shredded, liquified, purified, and transformed into new fiber, which looks and performs the same as virgin fiber. The regenerated fibre can be recycled again and again and is used in the manufacture of clothing and fashion accessories.

ROTHWOL2524 Others, Wool

ROTHWOL2524
Composit material made of 50% post-industriale recycled wool, used as the reinforcement, and bio-resins used as the binder. The wool used is coarse and of low market value, coming from mountain and hill sheep, considered a by-product of sheep farming. The bio-resin source from waste streams of other industrial processes, such as wood pulp and bio-fuels production. Recommended for use in interior projects, it is used in the creation of furniture and worktops.

RPLA2523 Plastic

RPLA2523
Solid polycarbonate sheet containing 95% to 100% pre-consumer recycled material. The waste used is generated outside the production plants, during the manufacturing phase of the final piece. The material, which can be hot or cold formed, is used in the manufacture of components and furniture.

RCOT2522 Cotton

RCOT2522
Material made of post-industrial recycled cellulose derived from cotton linters, a by-product of the cotton industry that would otherwise be discarded. Available in a range of natural colours obtained without the use of chemical dyes or mordants, it is used in the production of tiles and cladding panels with acoustic insulation characteristics.

ROTH2521 Others

ROTH2521
Material made of plant-based biomass, sourced primarily from the cores of corn cobs. This organic waste, which cannot be used for human consumption, are widely available and usually destined for fermentation, burning as biomass or remaining on the field. The corn cobs are collected and dried. When the cobs are dry, a shredding process produces the biomass that becomes the material. The material is then mixed with pigments and other plant components (sidestreams from bioethanol production) to create a 99.5 % plant-based recipe. Only the pigments, added to the mixture to produce the colours, are not yet of organic origin, but are biodegradable. Through a high-pressure pressing process and the addition of heat, the polymers in the biomass activate and form strong bonds, which results in a strong and stable end product. Finally, the material is cut and finished with a bio-based waterproof coating. It is used in vertical cladding, as an alternative to ceramic or HPL materials, with a demountable anchoring system to allow for complete repair and replacement.

RPLA2520 Plastic

RPLA2520
Yarn made of 100% recycled polyester made from ocean-bound plastic. It can be textured, dyed and finished as required. It can be plyed, friction or crinkle textured or be twisted. It is used for fabric, thanks to a wide range of optional properties, used in sportswear and functional clothing, for home textiles, for upholstery fabrics and for the automotive sector.

NOTHCOR2519 Others, Cork

It is used in the production of clothing.

ROTH2514 Others

ROTH2514
Material derived from processing dry tea waste, a waste otherwise destined for landfill since the caffeine percentage is so high that it cannot be used as animal feed, in the food industry, or to generate bio-energy.

It has a biological content of between 45% and 95% and is used as an alternative to animal skin.

RPLA2513 Plastic

RPLA2513
Material made of post-industrial and post-consumer recycled polyurethane, obtained from waste from the production process of upholstered furniture and mattresses otherwise destined for landfill. Mattresses and upholstered products at the end of their life are extracted from their covers, sanitised and cut into small parts through a process that does not lose the intrinsic properties of the material. Subsequently, the polyurethane flakes are agglomerated together through the use of a two-component polyester and polypropylene fibre that ensures adhesion between the flakes.

RPLA2512 Plastic

RPLA2512
Yarn made of 100% recycled polyester, sourced exclusively from ocean-bound plastic waste. The post-consumer plastic used to manufacture the material is collected no further than 10 km away from the coastlines and on islands in Thailand. The waste consists mainly of PET bottles, which are subjected to sorting and cleaning processes without the use of additional chemicals and is transformed into granules, thus preparing them for further processing into yarn. It is used in upholstery and its exceptional colour richness is derived from the three different coloured yarns used in its construction.
