Ecoalf 3D-printed store in Madrid
What: Ecoalf's retail space at Las Rosas Village shopping centre in Madrid has a 3D-printed interior made of 100% recycled plastic.
Why it is important: The store embodies the retailer's commitment to sustainability and showcases how the brand itself is taking action to mitigate its own role in impacting the environment.
The retailer collaborated with design studio, Nagami, which specializes in the 3D printing of large-scale products to create walls, tables, and display shelves made of 3,300 kg of recycled plastic for the 90-square-meter store.
These installations resemble melting glaciers, serving as a reminder of the effect rising global temperatures have on polar ice caps. The pieces were also manufactured in Spain to reduce environmental footprint and can be fully recycled at the end of their lifespan.
