A Brazilian company called Rivesti uses [discarded plastic bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spinfix) to create a range of interior wall tiles. Available in 33 different colors, the mosaic tiles beautify your home while helping the environment at the same time. Devoted to ecological reinvestment, Rivesti has been researching how to do this for three years. PET resin taken from old plastic bottles is purified and treated with other [recycled polymeric materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cresta). This results in a high quality and uniquely finished product. By recycling PET plastic bottles, Rivesti saves landfill space and cuts down on carbon dioxide emissions. In addition to this green initiative, Rivesti has also developed a faster tile-mounting method to further appeal to consumers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Pet-bottle-recycling:** PET bottle recycling can be transformed into a range of creative and colorful products. - **Eco-friendly-interior-design:** Rivesti's recycled wall tiles offer a unique way to achieve eco-friendly interior design. - **Sustainable-building-materials:** Rivesti's usage of recycled PET bottles presents an opportunity for the sustainable building materials industry. ### Where This Applies - **Construction:** Rivesti's recycled wall tiles provide a new product for the construction industry's sustainable building materials niche. - **Interior-design:** Rivesti's eco-friendly interior design tiles may appeal to consumers interested in green living and sustainability. - **Waste-management:** Rivesti's use of recycled PET bottles and unique tile-mounting methods present an opportunity for innovation in the waste management sector. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Naturalistic Mosaic Design Tiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mosaic-wall-tiles.md) - [Recycled Plastic Decor Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plastplan-design-studio.md) - [Upcycled Building Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plaex-building-systems-inc.md) - [Recycled Resin Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/know-new-plastic.md) - [Plastic Bottle Recycling Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bottle-strip-cutter.md) - [Chic Recycled Material Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vale-furniture-collection.md) - [Plastic Bottle-Made Christmas Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caroline-chaptini.md) - [Plant-Based Plastic Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-pet-bottle.md) - [Nitrogen-Dosed Drink Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sidel-starliter-nitro-bottle.md)
