NCOR2535 Cork

NCOR2535
Material made of 100% natural expanded cork agglomerate, 100% natural, obtained exclusively from cork from branches. The production process consists of injecting water vapour through pellets that will expand and agglomerate with the cork resin itself The surfaces are processed through computational algorithms based on generative design, inspired by biology, mathematics and geometry, resulting in 3D tiles with excellent thermal, acoustic and vibration insulation.

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. The manufacturing process combines heat and pressure to form a solid panel core. A natural polymer in the straw fibre is extracted during this process and acts as a natural binding agent. Finally coated with recycled kraft paper, it is used as an energy-efficient and sustainable wall and ceiling panel.

RNOTHPAP2533 Others, Paper

RNOTHPAP2533
Material made of thermoformed, plastic-free pulp consisting of 40% sugar cane waste and 60% virgin pulp. Virgin fibres are certified and come from responsibly managed forests, while sugar cane waste comes from the post-industrial waste of agricultural residues not intended for food consumption. The coloured version contains water-based dyes. Recyclable within the paper recycling process, it is used as an alternative to traditional plastic-derived packaging materials.

RCOT2532 Cotton

RCOT2532
Regenerated cotton fibre, produced by a process of fraying rags. It is a material free of dust and metal particles and is characterised by homogeneous colours. It is used in various industrial sectors such as textiles, automotive, construction and home furnishings.

RPLA2531 Plastic

RPLA2531
Fabric made of 90% post-consumer recycled polyester from ocean waste. At the end of its life it can be recycled or sent to landfill to be biodegraded. It is used in the manufacture of upholstery.

RNBUIWOO2530 Inerts, Wood

RNBUIWOO2530
Material composed of a mixture using more than 90% recycled mineral aggregates, derived from production waste from large quarries. It is combined with a wooden backing of MDF or plywood from sustainably managed forests. Designed for application in indoor contexts, it is used in the construction of counter walls and false ceilings without any structural function, and for the cladding of furnishing elements.

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.

BPL2528 Bioplastics

BPL2528
Bio-plastic made of 25% to 100% bio-based content, made from waste streams of food production, mainly sugars and vegetable oils. The material can be steered to degrade between 1-10 years, depending on the desired application and environment. Characterised by the same level of strength and durability as traditional plastics, while being biodegradable, it is used in the manufacture of fabrics, yarns and articles as a substitute for common polyamides.

NSIL2527 Silk

NSIL2527
Yarn made from 100% silk, obtained without the use of pesticides and without animal mistreatment, because the cocoons are harvested after the moths hatch. The dyes are environmentally friendly and give a glossy surface. They are used in the production of clothing and accessories.

RCOR2526 Cork

RCOR2526
Multilayer material made of a core of pre-consumer recycled cork made from cork waste, a surface coating of plant-based polyurethane characterised by a high plant-based content of more than 70% and obtained from plantations not intended for food consumption, and a base of recycled polyester.

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.
