'Eco-smart' database of materials, mostly recycled.
The Rematerialise vision is to compile and maintain a versatile collection of 'Eco-Smart' materials, which by their very nature provide a range of environmentally responsible alternatives to other resource hungry materials. By tapping into both post-consumer and post-industrial waste streams, scrap and refuse otherwise destined for landfill is recycled and reused which reduces waste and maybe more importantly saves natural resources. It is unfortunate that many of these often-exciting new materials never make it into the wider market place and are tragically discontinued. Due to a lack of demand they just disappear!
