Terratico’s Eco-friendly Creation
At first glance, the items here may appear to be ordinary benches and a round table. While they indeed serve these functions, the furniture was crafted from a unique material developed by our partner Terratico in collaboration with Maneo Tech that has the potential to revolutionize the future of design and production.
Concrete and plastic waste were blended together, resulting in a material that is 30% lighter, more flexible and highly resistant to breakage and water absorption. The benches and table pictured come in three different colours—white, grey and black—each featuring flecks of colour. The new material offers greater freedom in design and colour compared to regular concrete and there are economic and sustainable benefits as well. The use of petroleum-based plastic, which is cheaper than recyclable plastic, helps save money and the incorporation of non-recyclable plastic waste prevents it from ending up in landfills or being incinerated.
