Information
PrettyPlastic is a new cladding material that gives discarded building products a second life. Made of PVC waste from the building sector, such as old window frames, downspouts, and rain gutters, PrettyPlastic tiles show that waste can become beautiful.
The recycled PVC tiles have a remarkably easy installation and a very long lifespan.
The company has developed a way to avoid the production of new PVC and to manufacture their tiles without any chemical additives. At the same time, they have shortened the supply chain as they do not need granules but rather use postconsumer uPVC which they only shred and wash before upcycling. They contribute to a more circular economy with this innovative solution and an award-winning and very distinctive design. This way they actually prove that circular building materials can look pretty.
Pretty Plastic install 25 kg of tiles per square meter and expect to extract approximately 250,000 kg of PVC waste from the construction industry in their first year of entry into the market. So far they have appeared in magazines such as Dezeen and have won several awards such as the Frame Awards, the ARC18 award, the Dutch Design Award, and now the Detail 2020 Prize.
