Why Zero-Waste Design Matters in Singapore
Singapore’s push for sustainability has made zero-waste interior design a top priority. With limited land resources and a growing population, homeowners are adopting innovative strategies to minimize waste. At MRETTY, we lead this movement by combining cutting-edge technology with timeless aesthetics, ensuring every piece aligns with Singapore’s Green Plan 2030.
The MRETTY Approach: Crafting Zero-Waste Elegance
1. Material Innovation: From Waste to Wonder
Singapore’s construction sector generates 30% of the nation’s waste. Our solution? Closed-loop material systems:
-
Recycled aluminum honeycomb: 40% less material waste than solid wood.
-
Upcycled teak: 25% of our wood comes from restored heritage buildings.
-
Bio-resin composites: Made from food industry byproducts, reducing plastic landfill by 15%.
2. Precision Manufacturing
Our 5-axis CNC machines minimize offcuts by 50%, while AI-driven design software optimizes material usage. For example, a standard kitchen cabinet now uses 30% fewer panels through interlocking J-slot designs.
