For the past five years, Ecomaison's innovation and R&D teams have been observing, identifying, analyzing and qualifying emerging solutions to create a unique catalog of innovative materials for its members.
The result? A catalog dedicated exclusively to our members, featuring concrete alternatives to conventional materials, combining performance, industrial feasibility and low environmental impact.
An expert look at eco-design solutions
Designed as a strategic tool, this directory of innovations does more than simply list technologies: it offers an expert, structured reading of them. Each solution is meticulously qualified according to several criteria, including :
- Environmental impact: Promotes circularity of products and materials, low carbon footprint, does not interfere with recycling...
- Solution maturity: from promising R&D to industrialized innovations.
- Innovative character: partial or total improvement of certain properties, technological breakthrough, etc.
- Feasibility and competitiveness: from industrial deployment to business model
Game-changing materials
Among the nuggets listed, several examples illustrate the diversity and impact of the solutions identified:
Biofluff, a natural-fiber alternative to animal leathers and furs, with no compromise on aesthetics and durability
BOUDI, recycling plastic from Ecomaison's supply chains into panels for formwork and signage, or into panels for worktops.
Toy Rescue, modeling and 3D printing of spare parts for toys to extend their lifespan
Smile Plastic, single-material panels made from recycled plastic
Neolitik, an alternative building material to concrete, made from 100% recycled raw materials and 100% recyclable in a closed loop.
A strategic material library for change agents
Whether you're a designer, manufacturer or distributor, for all Ecomaison members this catalog represents a valuable, practical tool for rethinking the products of tomorrow. It's a real strategic tool for identifying and integrating innovative, sustainable and competitive solutions.
Innovation in materials continues to accelerate. Thanks to the monitoring and qualification work carried out by Ecomaison, we now have a clear vision of the alternatives available.
