streamlining
production
process

The mechanically shredded
membranes are poured into molds
and pressed to create slab-like
material. This innovative process
scales up the idea of creating an
affordable designed product.

resourcefully

The company ArTech Engineering specializes in
textile architecture but faces a problem—even
with optimized usage, a certain amount of
material goes to waste. This very waste is being
transformed into ReTex material through the
project EU for Green Agenda in Serbia,
implemented by UNDP Serbia.
