October 18, 2024 Paper Pulp Turned Into Beautiful Interior Wall Cladding: New Partnership With Alted Materials Millions of tonnes of paper waste cannot be recycled—until now. In partnership with Barcelona-based Alted Materials, FRONT® launches Paper Waste Panels, upcycling 722 kg of landfill waste with every 100m2 of interior wall cladding. The paper industry generates millions of tons of cellulose fibres, which become too short after multiple recycling cycles to be reused through conventional methods. These fibres are often discarded in landfills or incinerated, contributing to environmental waste. Paper Waste Panels offer a solution by transforming fully recyclable, non-toxic boards made from these otherwise unusable fibres into beautiful wall cladding panels. Made primarily from paper industry waste and post-consumer cardboard, the boards are produced through a certified circular process that upcycles the discarded fibres into valuable materials. This innovative approach reduces landfill waste and contributes to a more sustainable future. Drop, Stripe & Line Paper Waste Panels Launch of Paper Waste Panels Collection The first collection Paper Waste Panels is a series of decorative wall panels suitable for interior use. The panels allow architects and designers to create sustainable interiors without compromising aesthetics or performance. Available in customisable patterns and colours, the 600×600 mm panels are designed for ease of installation and maintenance, making them ideal for sectors such as retail, hospitality, and commercial spaces where flexibility and sustainability are essential. In addition to their environmental benefits, Paper Waste Panels provide excellent durability, sound absorption, and air quality benefits, making them suitable for various interior applications. The panels are non-toxic, certified A+ for air quality, and demountable, allowing them to be reused in different configurations—an essential feature for projects where adaptability is key. Line Paper Waste Panel Drop Paper Waste Panel Alted Materials and FRONT® join forces for good. The partnership between Alted Materials and FRONT® is founded on a shared vision of pushing the boundaries of material innovation and addressing the global waste problem. Together, they demonstrate how materials traditionally considered waste can be transformed into sustainable solutions that reduce the environmental footprint and offer beautiful, functional, and high-performance design options. About FRONT® FRONT® is a leading innovator in sustainable building materials, creating products that combine performance, aesthetics, and environmental responsibility. Committed to circular economy principles, FRONT® partners with industry leaders to push the boundaries of architectural design. After launching the WasteBasedBrick, BioBasedTile, CornWall, and Pretty Plastic Panels, FRONT® is expanding its collection of innovative materials to drive an even greater impact. This is why StoneCycling became FRONT®. About Alted Materials Alted Materials is pioneering sustainable construction products with their debut collection, Paper Waste Panels. Driven by circular economy principles, their panels transform waste into high-quality, eco-friendly products for the built environment. Alted Materials is committed to driving meaningful change in the construction industry and beyond using waste-based and plant-based materials. Get access to high-resolution images in our press kit >
