NTS: Wonderful Waste - From Plastic Trash to Terrazzo Treasure

Co-founders & couple, Rosalie and Adam, firmly believe recycled materials should be as beautiful and desirable as anything new. Together they’ve been creating recycled and repurposed designs for more than a decade, founding Smile Plastics in 2015 to give architects & designers access to sustainable new materials. In their Welsh micro-factory they turn waste plastic into handcrafted panels that become anything from tables and stools, to kitchen benchtops and bathroom surfaces. The patented process is entirely circular, with all of their products 100% recycled and 100% recyclable, made using low temperatures & minimal energy. Their work has made its way around the world, inspiring a zero-waste future for construction & design.
