Problem
Traditional glass recycling systems often exclude certain types of glass due to logistical, historical, or supply chain constraints, leading to significant amounts of glass waste ending up in landfills or being downcycled. This results in environmental consequences, including the depletion of raw materials like sand and increased CO2 emissions from energy-intensive glass manufacturing processes.
Solution
Rehub has developed a patent-pending process to upcycle non-recyclable glass waste into a moldable paste called revéro, which can be manipulated at room temperature, reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions. This process allows for the creation of new products from glass waste through common industrial processes or proprietary 3D printing technology. revéro is a sustainable material designed for versatility, opening up possibilities in architecture, interior design, and product development. The company collaborates with artists, designers, and brands to transform their visions into unique products using waste materials.
Target Audience
Rehub's primary customers include artists, designers, brands, and manufacturers seeking sustainable and innovative materials for architecture, interior design, and product development.
