Maximum impact, zero wa(e)ste

Studio Wae’s vision is to extend the lifecycle of waste flows and to create job opportunities for people with a distance to the labor market. We believe it is important that everyone becomes aware that waste can have a positive value.

Circular Paving

We make circular paving that is made of 76% recycled raw materials extracted from Urban Mining (= old paving and materials from buildings, that are up for demolishment). With the production of the concrete Cityscapes tiles, we are able to combine our love for design and passion for recycling. This results in a high-quality design tile which is guaranteed to last for years. We are partners with NL Greenlabel for a sustainable outdoor space. The resources of The Right Wae Collection tiles also remain in the circular loop.

 

The Right Wae collection

The ‘Cityscape’ and ‘Box’ tile are part of ‘The Right Wae’ collection by Studio Wae and consist of 76% recycled raw materials. Both tiles are a homage to M.C. Escher. They are grippy, water-levelling, durable and available in three colors; grey, anthracite and terracotta. You can create small wadis, leave open spaces and fill them with greenery in your project. This contributes to better drainage of rainwater, as does the deep false joint in the tile.

 

Modular rugs and flooring

Our unique rugs and flooring with geometrical shapes, are made of 100% production waste from sustainable high end carpet tile producers in the Netherlands. Collaboration with these pioneers prolongs the lifecycle of their waste. Choose any color, shape and size to create a unique rug or flooring that fits any space. 

We have a stock of approximately 30,000 m2 in over 500 colors. So there is always a color combination that suits your project. Visit our showroom and create your own Wae!

 

Social impact

The production of Wae’s carpet collection is made by people with limited job opportunities, in our own workplace in Bunnik. Our mission is to employ as many people as possible with a distance to the labor market, offering them a solid base to build a future in the Netherlands.
