Zero-Waste Interior Design Trends: MRETTY's Sustainable Solutions in Singapore

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.
