Project ‘Recycling’
is recycling of tableware ceramics
Damaged or defective ceramic products are transformed into powder.
This powder is added to porcelain slip,
creating new ceramic recipe for new functional products
Project: received a Honourable Mention in Śląska Rzecz 2024 competition – in Service category
also
Project: in Finals of Dobry Wzór 2025 competition – in Design Development and Promotion category
The project uses new technology for ceramic recycling
Powdered material that comes from recycled ceramic waste is added to the porcelain slip. It is best to add 40% of powder, but the range is between 30% to 50%.
Building Awareness
The ceramic recycling project builds awareness and educates; it is a major step towards “green ceramics.” The society is learning about the subject of ecology in ceramics; people are getting to know the great need for such solutions. Ceramic recycling does not yet exist in Poland. We can start recycling ceramics instead of throwing them away into mixed waste and then into landfills. A recycled product is a design idea ahead of our time.
Product Durability
Because of using recycled ceramics, products become more durable. The recycled material strengthens porcelain, extending product’s lifespan.
The ‘Recycling’ collection relates to the circular shape, representing reuse and return to the cycle.
Each product from ‘Recycling’ collection, has circles that are highlighted. This allows the concaved circles to emphasize the composition of a food or drink. You can arrange the meal on the dish to bring out its avant-garde qualities. This transforms ceramic dish into a unique, modern form. Products from the ‘Recycling’ collection reflect to the changes in the world around us.
The ‘Recycling’ collection will vary in color depending on the used recycled material. The finished product has colorful speckles. It all depends on what material that was used for recycling – powdering; for example, if you use a product with a red glaze or red clay, the recycled porcelain slip and the finished product will have red speckles.
