Sustonable was started by 3 founders in the Netherlands. The origins spun out of Shell in the Netherlands. The idea was to recycle the plastic bottles that were produced out of the oil of Shell. The traditional application we found was an engineered stone used for kitchen tops. We wanted to replace the unsaturated polyester resin by post-consumer recycled PET. On top of that we developed a very efficient continuous extrusion process to make the thin slabs.
Sustonable combines the elegance of premium finishes with exceptional durability, offering architects and designers a sustainable alternative to traditional surfaces.
Sustonable surfaces are decorative surface materials for wall cladding, flooring, countertops, or other types of furniture.
We present our materials and technical specs to interior designers with samples a catalogue and other documents. We support fabricators and installers with technical advice.
Sustonable was selected for a wall panels installation project at a passenger terminal of Lisbon airport.
Clients ask more about Sustonable for wall panel applications as an alternative for ceramics. In general light, beige, warm colour tones are popular.
Sustainability, high recycled content, low carbon footprint will gain market share.
