REMARE launches STRUCTURE SURVIVE to upcycle industrial plastic offcuts

REMARE Inc., a Japanese company specializing in recycling industrial and marine plastics, has launched an ambitious new project aimed at upcycling waste from its own manufacturing process. Named “STRUCTURE SURVIVE,” the company seeks to transform discarded plastic offcuts into sustainable products, reducing plastic waste and promoting a circular economy.

Composite plastics are often discarded by businesses and end up in incineration. REMARE is known for recycling and turning them into alternatives for materials like wood and stone. Despite its success in recycling composite plastics, REMARE still generates some offcuts during its manufacturing process. To address this, the company is collaborating with interior designers and custom furniture makers to create original products from these scraps. The project will include the production of custom-made furniture, displays, and upcycled boards made from the waste materials.

The concept behind “STRUCTURE SURVIVE” is drawn from architectural and engineering principles of structural endurance and sustainability. REMARE has adapted this notion to include natural environments, recognizing that ecosystems and landscapes are, in a way, human-influenced structures that need long-term care and protection.

Through “STRUCTURE SURVIVE,” REMARE will offer a range of sustainable business solutions, from original product development, to leasing displays and furniture made from recycled plastics, and even selling recycled plastic boards to designers and creators.
