Plastic use is still one of the biggest problems we have in terms of sustainability. 3form is changing the way we think about sustainable materials in architecture and interior design. With the launch of Know New Plastic, the company aims to eliminate virgin plastic use by leveraging advanced molecular recycling. This initiative transforms hard-to-recycle plastics into high-quality, 100% recycled resin panels, making a real impact on both design and the environment.

The first collection under this initiative, 100% Recycled Textures, debuted with 21 stunning translucent textures. Each panel in this award-winning line is made entirely from recycled content, yet retains the signature durability and refined look that 3form is known for. These panels are not just beautiful; each one diverts the equivalent of 3,296 plastic bottles from landfills. By choosing these materials, designers and building owners can reduce carbon emissions by 25% compared to using virgin plastics.

Designer: 3form

Building on this momentum, 3form has expanded the collection with Dual-Sided Textures. These new designs feature four sophisticated patterns: Soho, Valencia, Monterey, and Sierra. They are molded on both sides of the resin panels. This dual-sided approach allows for captivating visual effects, interacting dynamically with light to add depth and intrigue to spaces. It’s a perfect solution for partitions and high-visibility applications, delivering privacy without sacrificing style or openness. The patterns draw inspiration from both classic motifs and the beauty of nature, offering versatility for modern and timeless interiors alike.

Ryan Smith, Chief Creative Officer at 3form, believes these innovations are a natural next step. He says these dual-sided textures are a natural progression in blending sustainability with innovative design. “By offering recycled materials without compromising quality, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in architectural surfaces,” he explains. The company’s 100% Recycled Textures collection marks a significant leap forward, supporting their long-term vision to eliminate virgin plastics entirely from its product portfolio, beginning with these new collections.

Know New Plastic is about recycling old materials but also reimagining waste as a valuable resource, paving the way for a circular economy in design. With these new textures, 3form is giving architects, designers, and building owners beautiful, functional options that support sustainability goals without compromise. Whether you are designing a contemporary office, a welcoming healthcare space, or a dynamic hospitality environment, 3form’s recycled textures deliver on style, performance, and environmental responsibility. It’s a bold move that’s sure to inspire others in the industry to look at plastic waste in a whole new light.
