From Old T-Shirts to New Buildings: The Brick That’s changing Paris

Can you imagine constructing a building using … old t-shirts ?

That’s exactly what’s happening in the City of Light. French architect Clarisse Merlet came up with a brilliant solution to turn fast fashion waste into eco-friendly that outperform concrete.

The best part ?

  • No kiln;

  • No heat;

  • No water

The process is as creative as it is sustainable

Companies like Decathlon and Levi’s have embraced the idea. They’re recycking their own textile waste, turning it into partitions, furniture, and structures for stores and offices.

It’s circular economy in action: what used to be waste becomes architecture!

The raw truth

Clarisse’s startup, FabBRICK, has recycle around 12 tons of fabric in 6 years. That may seem small compared to the 92 million tons of textile waste generated annually worldwide.

But this isn’t a failure. It’s a prototype for revolution

A new model for urban production

The project’s success has attracted brands like Galeries Lafayette, Vinci, and Mini, all of which have already adopted the bricks in their spaces.

And the next step is bold: setting up local micro-factories in multiple cities to process textile waste from their own regions.

Clarisse hasn’t just created a product. She’s proposing a new model for urban construction, one where trash becomes raw material, and every city can produce its own sustainable building supplies.

Why does it matter ?

Because every small breakthrough like this shows that we can rethink how we build, with less impact, more intention, and plenty of creativity.

If t-shirts can become bricks, what else can we reinvent ?

How “Living Concrete” Could Redesign Our Cities

Turning construction rubble (the kind that usually ends up in landfills), into walls that can breath, capture carbon, and become living ecosystems might sound like science fiction, right ?

Well, a Dutch startup has proven that it’s not only possible, it’s surprisingly simple.

For some, it’s waste. For others … a solution

The innovation comes from RESPYRE, a startup that developed a “living concrete” made of 95% construction waste. The twist ? This material isn’t just recycled, it’s designed to be colonized by moss.

In just 12 weeks, this concrete turns into a living wall, functional and full of environmental benefits.

One wall. Two powerful impacts.

This façade has a clever secret:

  1. The moss performs photosynthesis, naturally capturing CO₂;

  2. The concrete reacts with the air, locking CO₂ into permanent mineral form.

It’s like installing two climate-fighting tools in a single wall.

Real impact per square meter.

Each square meter of this material can:

  • Absorb up to 1.2 kg of CO₂ per year;

  • Lower temperatures by up to 7°C;

  • Filter pollutants from the air.

On top of that, the moss attaches using structures called rhizoids, which don’t damage the surface, and after just 3 months, the system becomes self-sustaining, requiring no irrigation or intensive maintenance.

Lower cost, higher impact

While tradicional green walls can cost over €500/m², RESPYRE’s system comes in at 40% less, without the hefty upkeep.

It’s a solution that democratizes green façades, making them viable not just for big developments but also for smaller and residential projects.

Turning waste into urban lungs has never felt so achievable, or so smart.

A new chapter in sustainable construction

This technology is more than just a cool innovation, it’s a beautiful way to apply circular economy principles in urban design. A wall that cares for the planet, improves air quality, reduces heat islands, and pays for itself.

Can you imagine this in your projects ?

Think about it:

How many “dead” walls still cover our cities, that could be transformed into allies in the fight against climate change ?
