The firm BENTU DESIGN has introduced a process that transforms construction debris into urban furniture using 3D printing. They collect concrete, bricks, and ceramics from demolitions to create a printable material. The initiative aims to reduce the use of virgin raw materials and give new purpose to waste, integrating sustainability into the design of public spaces.
Technology that recycles debris with precision ♻️
The method developed by BENTU DESIGN involves crushing and processing construction waste into a homogeneous powder. This powder is mixed with eco-friendly binders to form a printable paste. The 3D printer deposits successive layers of the material, creating benches, planters, and other urban elements. The result is durable pieces that maintain the original texture of the recycled materials, without the need for molds or conventional industrial processes.
Your renovation trash is now a park bench 🏗️
So now you know: if you're thinking of throwing away that brick wall you had left over, maybe you should contact BENTU DESIGN. Perhaps your old partition will end up as a bench where a retiree reads the newspaper. Of course, don't expect the bench to be the same color as your house. Recycling has its aesthetic limits, but at least you won't end up paying to take it to the landfill.
