From the built world back into it
Enkei is a circular material platform. We take construction and demolition waste — the EU's largest waste stream — and turn it into design-grade materials for architectural surfaces and interior applications. With minimal environmental impact, our circular materials prove that the future-proof choice can be the most desirable one.
The Ceramic Loop
Enkei is the Swedish lead partner of The Ceramic Loop, an EU-funded Interreg project building a circular value chain for ceramic waste across Sweden and Norway — from demolition site to specified material.
Ceramic waste from construction and renovation has almost nowhere to go. Most of it is landfilled or crushed into fill, despite being durable, inert, and — handled properly — worth looking at.
The project builds the missing infrastructure: mapping the waste flows, establishing the logistics and partnerships to move material, and testing and validating recycled ceramic in real production.
The intended outcome is validated material solutions, a working cross-border value chain, and business models that let recycled ceramic be specified at scale rather than one project at a time.
If you handle ceramic waste, specify materials, or have a project where this could be tested — we'd like to hear from you.
