Stone Waste is Bliss Ceramic Tiles

The natural stone industry, as exemplified by the Lithuanian company Akmenstata, generates a substantial amount of waste (approximately 8m3 per month) in the form of edges, offcuts, and small pieces. While a portion is used for road fillers, the majority, deemed non-toxic, has the potential to be upcycled. Designer Agne Kucerenkaite, collaborating with Akmenstata, combines stone with ceramics, exploring innovative ways to connect them without traditional adhesives. This playful project not only considers the inherent properties of each stone, including chemical analysis and melting points, but also aims to transform waste into an eco-friendly surface collection.
