WASTE UPCYCLED
28,556 KG
ACCORDING TO INBO ARCHITECTS:
“We also thought about sustainability and innovation as we designed the new building. At a time when we must make responsible choices, we opted for a façade made of recycled ‘Pretty Plastic’. This product contributes to a circular economy in which waste does not exist and raw materials are always reused. And it looks nice, too!”
We can only confirm this and are very happy to see the building being in use!
By choosing Pretty Plastic, Howest has diverted an impressive 28,556 kg of waste from landfills, a significant step towards our shared mission for a cleaner planet.
