Our tiles were chosen for the façade renovation of the O.666 building in Ostend, Belgium, in their quest to find the most circular solution possible for the transformation of this historic building. Together, we’ve not only created a stunning facade but also made a statement in sustainability and circular economy. Our facade tiles, made from 100% recycled PVC waste, perfectly complement FOAM Glass as insulation material. This material, produced with 100% green energy and consisting of 66% recycled glass, provides excellent insulation and contributes to the circular principles of the project.

WASTE UPCYCLED

0.666 is a social circular hub in Ostend and an incubation space for a more sustainable economy of tomorrow, supported by the City of Ostend and OVAM. This hub serves as a co-creation space and testbed for the circular economy, social, and societal entrepreneurship that prompts visitors to contemplate a more beautiful, inclusive, and ecological future. For the facade renovation, the culmination of this renovation journey, the aim was to find the most circular solution possible. We’re proud to have been chosen to contribute to the transformation of this historic building. Together, we’ve not only created a stunning facade but also made a statement in sustainability and circular economy.

In total, with the entire facade project, 3,210 kg of waste was reused: for the building’s insulation, insulation material from Foam Glass was used. For the total facade area of 108m2, around 451kg of glass waste, primarily from the automotive industry, was reused. For the visual finishing, Pretty Plastic First One, made from 100% recycled PVC waste, was chosen. All tiles combined account for a total of 2,759 kg of waste, bringing the total waste diverted from the landfill by the renovation project to 3,210 kg.
