About ENGA

We are a start-up based in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland. We are engaged to valorise waste and bio-based resources through innovative design and manufacturing.

What we do


We create lifestyle accents, furniture, and everyday objects by 3D-printing and clever assembling locally with recycled plastic and bio-based materials.

Why it matters

At ENGA, our mission is to explore ways to use waste to reduce the environmental impact of products. By repurposing household and industrial plastic waste, along with agricultural by-products, we embrace circular economy principles, striving to operate as a closed-loop business.

How we work

We work closely with partners to build a responsible and transparent value chain, producing well-crafted, innovative and aesthetic pieces that prioritise sustainability and minimise ecological footprint.

BENEFITS OF LOCAL RECYCLING


In a collaboration with the institute for ecopreneurship of the FHNW, a bachelor thesis on the potential of local recycling in comparison to a centralized recycling, was carried out. The Study showed that the local recycling process of ENGA® has the potential to save up to 52-times the energy for transportation compared to the centralized recycling and so results in an overall 7-times lower environmental impact. This energy savings are the direct result from the local process cutting the transportation need. Furthermore, is the local recycling dealing with way smaller amounts of materials, so that it can be processed without almost any automation. With that huge amounts of energy can be saved but also new ways to work with plastics are achieved, with more handcraft work what leads to non-single use, higher value products.
