Recycled Architectural Materials

Flek Pure by 3form is an Ideal Material for Privacy Partitions

— October 6, 2021 — Eco
Flek Pure by 3form is the successor of the manufacturer's previous Flek collection, which launched in 2019. The new material is constructed with 100% recycled materials. 3form uses in-house factory waste, including pelletized trimmings from the brand's resin products to create Flek Pure's terrazzo effect.

The material has a translucent design that highlights shadows and silhouettes of objects behind it for a calming appearance. Flek Pure is available in a range of hues such as earth-toned colors, bright yellow, and a colorless option. Consumers can use the versatile material for various purposes. Flek Pure is suitable for creating wall art for privacy partitions, room dividers, accent pieces, and exterior walls. The recycled product is available via 3form's e-commerce platform.
