[what]
Scrap lab will be the driving force in reactivating and reanimating left over’s, off-cut and any kind of solid waste. The focus of Scrap Lap lays on the innovative recirculation of industrial produced waste. Scrap Lab’s concept contains the following advantages in terms of sustainability, economy, ecology and innovation:
Scrap lab operates a professional research and analysis database of industrial waste. It contains essential information for Scrap labs mission, such as properties, shapes, materials and compatibility to other materials.
Scrap lab guides manufacturers and designers by creating valuable products out of waste such as:
1. off-cut descending from traditional manufacturing process (wood, steel, paper)
2. waste of material caused by the imprecise production of material (foam, plastic)
3. moulds, utilized up to their lifespan (gypsum, steel, wood)
4. sawdust, descending from cutting and sawing (wood, plastic, metal)
The industrial sources of this kind of waste guarantee a continuous supply chain for any further activities of Scrap Lab.

[why]
Scrap Lab aims to be at the forefront as an ecological combatant, particularly with current concerns for the global environmental pollution and the rising interest regarding global corporate social responsibilities (CSR). Through the recirculation of wasted materials such as scraps and off-cuts, energy and labour time will be saved and regained into the economic circuit. Renewed resources and valuable products induced and managed by Scrap Lab will increase economic return, continual employment and environmental benefits.
[how]
Phase I:
- Initial non-binding relationships to manufacturers offer insights in their production facilities (requires NDA`s)
- Scrap Lab observes the development of genuine material to the finished product such as the production of a wooden chair and its generated waste.
- Scrap Lab collects, evaluates and classifies available waste in terms of properties, shape, material, colour and physical condition
- Scrap Lab performs a comprehensive analysis and research on any available development of waste, left over’s and off-cut.
