RETHINKING WASTE FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

Flowco Lab is a team of specialists in transforming waste into tangible value. We bridge the gap between companies that have waste they want to see valorised and high added value products. We have a production unit and are a company of designers highly committed to adding value to waste. We also have a network of partners who help us transform, recycle and certify materials and products.

Waste was once seen as a burden however over-consumption of scarce resources is driving everyone - designers and business owners - to see all the value and potential in waste. As well as environmental benefits, this represents a shift in our relationship

WHY WE DO IT?

Waste was once seen as a burden however over-consumption of scarce resources is driving everyone - designers and business owners - to see all the value and potential in waste. As well as environmental benefits, this represents a shift in our relationship with materials, away from a linear model (take-make-discard) to a more cyclical approach where we truly vallue alternative raw goods from industrial waste.
