We see an exciting challenge and future in stepping up our sustainable effort by moving our production cycle and our products towards a fully circular eco-system. Our material is strong and long-lasting, numerous rounds of re-use and recycling are possible. And now we have developed a truly groundbreaking technique of making new 2TEC2 tiles and rolls out of its recycled contents.
Milestones in the road to circularity
