Printing Materials that leave a lasting impression. Not a Footprint.

We care about the planet. That’s why we use up to 75% recycled and/or bio-circular materials in the 3D-printed parts of our luminaires, instead of relying on new fossil fuel-based plastic.
WAIT...PLASTIC COMES FROM OIL?
Yes! Most plastic is made from crude oil, a fossil fuel. We avoid that by using smarter, greener sources that reduce emissions and waste.
To ensure quality, safety, and traceability, we work with trusted partners who specialize in sourcing, processing, and certifying these materials. We rely on our partners to transform them into high-quality granulate. Granulate is the base material from which we make filament that meets our performance and sustainability standards, allowing us to print high-quality products.
The materials we trust - Polycarbonate and PET
Post-Consumer Recycled
We give new life to everyday plastic waste by turning it into high-quality luminaires. These are our HERO materials, each tied to a unique product story:
- PET bottles, clothing, and glasses (75%) used in the Puzzle
- Water cooler jugs (50%) used in theWater Blue Collection
- Old streetlight shades (75%) - Coming soon!
These materials are carefully sourced and processed by our partners to ensure quality, safety, and consistency, while reducing the environmental impact of single-use plastics.
Bio-Circular Materials
We use at least 75% bio-circular content in most of our filaments to print our products. This includes materials sourced from:
- Used cooking oil
- Tall oil (a byproduct of wood processing)
These are natural waste materials, not fossil fuels. And importantly, our bio-circular materials are ISCC PLUS certified, ensuring they meet strict sustainability and traceability standards throughout the supply chain.
Post-Industrial Recycled
We also use post-industrial recycled (PIR) materials, plastic waste recovered from manufacturing processes before it ever reaches consumers.
Our PIR stream contains 65% recycled content in the 3D-printed parts of our luminaires, helping us reduce industrial waste while maintaining high material quality.

Q&A - Common Questions about our Printing Materials
We’ve tested them, but they don’t meet our standards for lighting.
PLA is made from food crops like corn and sugarcane. It breaks down quickly in heat or moisture, which makes it unsuitable for lighting products.
PHA is made from waste, which is great—but it’s not durable. It can shrink, fade, or warp over time.
Even blends with wood or wheat are harder to print, more expensive, and still not reliable enough.
We use polycarbonate from recycled and bio-circular sources because it performs better, lasts longer, and supports a circular economy.
Bio-circular materials come from natural waste, like used cooking oil or tall oil. They’re not made from fossil fuels and help reduce emissions and waste. Also they are not in competition with food, like corn for example.
No, for Puzzle, we use PET (coPET) material because it is the most suitable for its specific printing shape.
Depending on the product, we use:
- At least 75% bio-circular content
- Up to 75% post-consumer recycled plastic
- At least 65% post-industrial recycled plastic from manufacturing waste
We aim for the highest recycled content possible without compromising quality or safety. Some parts still require a small amount of virgin material, but we never use 100% virgin plastic for printing.
Yes. Our luminaires are designed for easy disassembly and recyclability, supporting a circular lifecycle.
We work with trusted suppliers and test all materials for strength, heat resistance, and light performance to ensure they meet our standards and all regulatory requirements.
Yes. All our materials are non-toxic and safe for indoor environments.
Colors and Textures
While the materials we use define the sustainability and performance of our luminaires, the textures and colors define their personality.
That’s why we’ve included an overview of our aesthetic options in one document, so you can see how our commitment to circular design also supports creative freedom with 180 color and texture combinations.
Luminaires that are designed with performance, sustainability, and transparency in mind.
About the percentages:
When we mention recycled content (like 65% or 75%), this refers specifically to the 3D-printed parts of our luminaires. The remaining portion is virgin material, but we strictly avoid using 100% virgin materials in any of the printed parts of our products. Every product is a step toward a more circular future.
Join the circular economy revolution
We believe lighting should do more than illuminate. It should reflect your values, adapt to your space, and tread lightly on the planet.
