The Good Plastic Company, a trailblazer in sustainable materials, joins forces with acclaimed designer Mario Romano to debut the M|R Walls x Polygood® collection. This collaboration reimagines wall surfaces, blending the company’s 100% recycled and recyclable Polygood® panels with Romano’s patented digital fabrication architectural technology, creating a collection that is as responsible as it is remarkable.
At the heart of this launch are five exclusive designs—Breeze, Flow, Stream, Petal, and Reef—designed by Romano, and created from Polygood® panels sourced from recycled refrigerators, electronics, and industrial materials. The material holds Cradle to Cradle® Bronze certification and an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), aligning seamlessly with green building goals. Each design brings Polygood®’s vibrant, sustainable ethos to life, transforming waste into elegance.
The partnership, born from a shared vision at a pivotal meeting in Dubai, highlights what the future of design should be: circular, scalable, and visually impactful. With technical attributes like lightweight durability, waterproofing, and user-friendly installation, these solutions address the evolving needs of sectors such as hospitality, workplace, and residential design. Each wall panel diverts approximately 110 pounds of plastic waste from landfills, a powerful testament to the environmental significance of this collection.
“This collaboration demonstrates how circular materials can deliver both superior aesthetics and performance,” adds Dr. William Chizhovsky, CEO and Founder of The Good Plastic Company. “This partnership is a step forward in our mission to provide fully circular solutions that are more than decorative—they’re transformative. Together, we’re enabling designers to scale sustainability without compromising on performance or aesthetics.”
Mario Romano’s signature work—spanning fluid façades, intricate carved surfaces, and digitally backlit installations—has consistently pushed the boundaries of architectural design. His methods integrate digital fabrication with tailored customization, delivering solutions that are not only elegant but also highly efficient to install, saving time compared to conventional materials like stone or marble. “We are designing for tomorrow, offering architects and designers a new toolkit to create architectural elements that are as functional as they are inspiring,” comments Mario Romano, Founder of M|R Walls. “Polygood® has redefined what’s possible in scalable surfaces, and I’m thrilled to be part of this game-changing collaboration.”
From elevator walls and screens to ceilings and feature walls, the M|R Walls x Polygood® Collection offers future-proof solutions for projects of any size. Leveraging Polygood®’s durable and lightweight attributes with Mario Romano’s technical prowess and user-friendly installation, the collection is poised to make an impact across sectors.
