StoneCycling

"Advancing the development, use and reuse of planet-friendly aesthetic building materials". That is our mission. 

StoneCycling was conceived at the Design Academy in Eindhoven, The Netherlands between 2009-2011. Then student, Tom van Soest focused on upcycling waste he found in vacant buildings awaiting demolition. 

Together with business partner Ward Massa, the first range of WasteBasedBricks® get launched - resulting in global media coverage and winning the Young Designer Award at the Dutch Design Week in 2016. 

Scaling up the business provides an exciting challenge for the team, and they find a committed production partner in Derck Zilverschoon, owner of the highly specialised brick production company Zilverschoon Randwijk. 

StoneCycling's international focus starts to pay off with new projects being realised in Amsterdam, London, Stockholm, Bucharest, Luxembourg City, Barcelona and New York. 

In 2022, StoneCycling announced a partnership with US-based Biomason, the only company in the world employing biology to produce cement. BioBasedTiles® is the first ever bio-based tile that grows with the help of bacteria. 

A year later, StoneCycling teamed up with Circular Matters, a Belgian company leveraging the power of plants to create materials that replace fossil-based plastics and resins. CornWall® is primarily made from corn waste and the sustainable alternative for interior wall cladding.

Other collaborations included those with Studio Mixtura to develop an innovative and unique waste-based glazing for bricks and with Fassat, resulting in the Beyond Wall System, to create demountable facades and interior walls without using mortar or glue. 

StoneCyling has come a long way, but the journey to a circular world is only just starting. From large and small building facades to the interiors of houses, offices and hospitality locations, the team can’t wait to transform even more tons of waste into unique spaces around the world!

2024 will mark the launch of new products and technologies that enables StoneCycling to take a step closer to fulfilling their mission.

Welcome to the New Stone Age.
