Sustein Material

Every year, 99% of over 50 million tons of healthcare waste (one of the best quality polymers in the world) is incinerated or landfilled, releasing toxins and wasting critical material resources. At the same time, the construction industry, responsible for 50% of all natural resource exploitation, faces material shortages, rising costs, and regulatory pressure to decarbonize. Yet, these two systems remain completely disconnected.

In Sustein, we designed a replicable technology capable of upcycling >70% of healthcare waste into local products on a global scale. With a single production line, we can craft certified, high-performance circular products, including thermal and acoustic insulation, rigid boards, and pellets for the construction and design industries. Our technology translate into a new resource model for cities, turning a global waste crisis into a sustainable supply chain for construction.
