ENGA® develops and provides solutions for a new manufacturing era with a responsible use of resources and materials. Therefore, we collaborate with our partners and are committed to closing the loop, towards circular and regenerative economy.
SMART MATERIALS 3D – SMARTFIL®
Smart Materials 3D, our partner located in Alcalá la Real, Spain, specializes in the production of biodegradable materials using recycled resources. They conserve resources by utilizing and recycling waste, thus reducing their impact on the environment. The polymer base is derived from sugarcane and forms a 100% oil-free plastic. This base, for example, is then combined with waste from olive stones and further processed into 3D printing filament.
#TIDE OCEAN MATERIAL® – rPET
ENGA® collaborates with #tide ocean material® and uses their ocean-bound recycled plastics. For example, our 3D printers at ENGA are fed with the #tide ocean material recycled PET filament. It contains 50% ocean-bound recycled PET, and 50% industrial multilayer recycled PET-G. Other material and processes are in current development.
“The ecological and especially the social impact #tide achieves with its business model was recognized with the Swiss Ethic Award 2022.”
The ENGA® ELLIPSIS is a unique ceiling light made from biodegradable and compostable polymer containing up to 40% recycled olive stone waste, manufactured using modern 3D printing technology powerd by solar energy. This not only allows for intricate and realistic design details, but also significantly reduces environmental impact through a local production process in Biel, Switzerland. The lamp is designed to produce a warm and inviting light that creates a cozy and comfortable atmosphere in any room where it is placed.
Material
Olive: Biodegradable & compostable polymer with up to 40% olive bone waste
Others: 100% biodegradable & compostable polymer
Introducing the ENGA® HELIX, a unique ceiling light made of 100% recycled polymer from the #Tide ocean.The ENGA® HELIX is manufactured using modern 3D-printing technology, which enables intricate and realistic design details. The lamp is designed to provide a soft, soothing light, creating a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere in any room. By utilizing 3D-printing technology powered by solar energy, recycled materials, and local production in Biel, Switzerland, we significantly reduce the ENGA® HELIX’s environmental impact.
