Project description
A reused plastic alternative to clay tiles
One of the oldest architectural styles, clay tile roofing has been used for thousands of years. An eco-friendly alternative to clay tiles is made from reused and recycled plastic. The EU-funded ROOFECO project is developing an innovative and profitable solution for transforming plastic waste into high added value products. The new roofing system weighs up to 70 % less than traditional clay tiles and produces less CO2 per m2. Requiring no maintenance, these innovative plastic tiles are also easy to install with a tile-to-tile connection that fixes the roof tile to the building’s structure faster. Additional features include reduced tile thickness (5 mm) and resistance to ageing via nanotechnology.
Objective
Clay rooftiles exist since year 3.000 B.C. and emit when manufacturing 3,8 kg of CO2/m2… there´s a NEED in the MARKET for an innovative and profitable ROOFING SYSTEM made of 95% reused and recycled plastic that produces less than 1,6kg CO2/m2 and enables the consumer to SAVE time and money:
1. Weights 70% less: permits using light structure and lower transportation cost
2. Zero maintenance
3. DIY do-it-yourself
4. Anchor (patented): located in each wave of the rooftile to connect tile-to-tile, hides the canal screw (which fixes the roof tile to the understructure) in the overlap area to avoid water filtration and permits an easy and fast installation 30m2/1hour and fastens the waves 10 times stronger than screws.
5. Prevents aging through nanotechnology
6. Heavy-duty: thickness 5mm
7. All pieces are recyclable – circular economy
Commercialization strategy: ROOFECO plans to exploit the system by means of different ways, developing commercial arrangements with: 1- DIY ecommerce/stores. 2-Wooden houses builders. 3-House extensions builders, such as: terraces, pergolas, BBQs and porches. 4- Apart from these, it is expected to retain also a percentage for own commercialization by the web page and also a part through 5-prescribers and stakeholders (architects and construction companies). Be known through: mailing and contacting directly, adwords/banner campaign, participating in well-known construction materials events such as: Construmat, CEVISAMA, APEX, Foire de Paris and participate in specific online marketplaces, such as: Archiexpo.
