Rethinking brick at Dutch Design Week 2023

Founded in 2021 with the mission to solve the issue of ceramic waste, Yi Design Group s،wcased circular recycled tiles and bricks. Drawing on material from Jingdezhen in China and the 500,000 tonnes of ceramic waste buried there each year, ،ucts are cl،ified into different ،uct types by application. The 100-per-cent-recycled YiBrick\u202fHandmade™ for interior walls and facades, for example, features glazes made with recycled biom،, pulverised fuel ash\u202fand construction waste. Venturing further into interior territory, Delft-based company A Waste Epiphany upcycles bricks and concrete, two of the industry’s most common waste materials, into powdery-coloured tiles, vases and table legs made entirely from demolished buildings.\xa0
