30 million mattresses end up as waste in Europe every year. At MATR, we decided it is time to put this huge waste problem to bed and make sleep matter. We have created the first circular economy mattress solution for hotels, featuring a premium mattress made from just 2 high quality materials, a unique service model and flexible financing. MATR mattresses never end up as waste and always go back into the material cycle, resulting in a carbon footprint 50% less than conventional mattresses.
to tackle the climate crisis, we sometimes wish for huge co2 reservoirs.
but the thing is, they do already exist; wetlands. they can store twice as much co2 as all the forests put together, but throughout the years humans drained 95% of wetlands in order to mine peat and use it as soil to grow vegtables on. there is a quite simple solution;
paludiculture (wet agriculture) of peat moss, a renewable substitute for peat. and this is where peet comes in: the autonomous farming robot for peat moss.

Across Europe, the reconstruction period after the second world war was characterized by the main aim to provide as many apartments as possible as quickly as possible. This resulted in a little loved typology - the ‘housing block', characterized by a prefabricated and uniformous structure. This project develops a future perspective for these ensembles focusing on their great potential for renewable extension, enabling imagination about generous living standards and improvements for inhabitants.
About 150,000 t of food waste is generated annually in Macedonia (the value is estimated at several million euros). There is no law that provides the management of food waste. With this proposal, from the plant and animal food waste compost can be produced, while from the cereal and beard-based food waste using filamentous fungi Rhizopus textile fibers can be produced. Through a special technological process, the obtained textile fibers can further be handed over and processed in the industry.
BIORAGO is a borage bioplastic that serves as an alternative to fossil-based plastics used in single-use applications.
Design and manufacture of a biomaterial composed of waste from the agri-food industry. Specifically, this project aims to revalue the waste from the borage cleaning process. After testing the properties of the material and verifying its behavior, a bag was manufactured by laser cutting a sheet of this bioplastic.

This artivism project invites you to discover the flaws inside our utopian building, representing our idilic European Union and the data of social injustices as flaws that crack that ideal. we'll see our flawless society in a metaphorical way through clean, spacious, and modern architecture (in our social media profile). This is what anyone will perceive at first, when we enter in these spaces we'll be able to see what this architecture is based on, infographics with data of social issues.
