Every panel begins as something thrown away, and ends as a space people want to stay in.
Beyond sustainability as a value our connection to nature shapes how we design, develop, and maintain.
We're mindful of our environmental impact and take real steps to protect the natural world around us.
Soft-drink bottles and cleaning-product containers made of PET are identified by the recycling mark and collected from consumers.
Caps and contaminating labels are removed. The bottles are shredded into small flakes.
The flakes are washed and sanitised.
Flakes and colour are mixed in a heated vessel that melts them into liquid resin.
The liquid resin is pushed through heated tubes, and that turns it into fibres.
Fans cool the fibres.
The fibres are drawn, cut and blended so that an airy fibre web is formed.
The airy web is pressed, which compacts and strengthens it. The board is ready to use.
