Through years of research and testing, we invented Matek
TM
.
The uniquely patented materials enable us to make furniture of waste materials
by combining fibre with a binder. Coffee bean shells, extracted during the
roasting process, are an example of fibre material. Sawdust from wood production
is another. The binder material is made from plastic waste or a plastic-based
alternative. The mix of materials results in a unique compound suitable for press
moulding.
The technology behind MatekTM allows us to capture carbon in our furniture by
recycling waste into timeless designs using resources already available to us, instead
of virgin materials. To produce MatekTM, we either use post-consumer waste or post-
industrial waste available to us through successful collaborations with large-scale
corporations.
