Designer Coetzee has created a luxurious prototype that was almost exclusively built from waste and proves that sustainability and style can go hand in hand. Its ecospace project in Riebek-Kasteel contains more than 55 tons of waste plastic, 38 tons of textile offcuts and 15 tons of recycled glass. Objects thrown away everyday life such as clothes, bottles and scraps are implemented to replace traditional concrete aggregates such as sand and stone.
At the center of the project is Coetzee's cerocrete technology, which deals with Cement's large CO2 footprint by using a carbon-poor alternative produced in Atlantis. The result is a durable, environmentally conscious building material that significantly reduces the environmental impact.
The house was subjected to strict security and performance tests, with the walls have proven that they withstand temperatures of up to 1,400 ° C to ensure both fire resistance and strong insulation.
