However, Roca pushes the boundaries of this category with an innovation that is called 'Surfex.' The company used this new form of bathroom materials to inform its latest collection — 'Modo.' Essentially, what Surfex does is it allows for the creation of "[precise curves, straight lines, and angles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bezel-collection)" in a manner that is efficient to manufacturing. In addition, all products crafted with Roco's material can be "reprocessed or easily repaired," contributing to the market with a sustainable product.
