Concrete trophies

Manufacturing with 100% recycled aggregates reduces the environmental impact on several fronts:

1. Diversion of demolition waste: the aggregates come from mineral construction and demolition waste (CDW). In the EU, around 850 million tonnes of CDW are generated each year; manufacturing with these materials diverts part of that volume from landfills.
2. Reduction of CO₂ emissions: the extraction of virgin aggregates involves mining, blasting and transport. Recycled aggregates reduce the CO₂ emissions associated with that extraction.
3. Conservation of natural resources: by replacing virgin aggregates, pressure on quarries, gravel pits and riverbeds is reduced.
4. Circular economy: demolished concrete is recovered, processed and put back into production. The trophy embodies that cycle in a direct and tangible way.

The process combines two techniques:

1. Laser engraving: the laser works on the surface with precision. The result is a bas-relief engraving that reproduces texts, logos and graphic elements with high definition.
2. DTF transfer (Direct to Film): a thermal transfer process that deposits an ink film. It allows colour to be applied to defined areas of the piece with broad chromatic freedom and the ability to reproduce full-colour graphics.

Both techniques integrate the graphic identity of the brand directly onto the concrete.

Concrete trophies work well at events where the material has a direct coherence with the message to be communicated:

• Architecture and urban planning: practices, schools and sector awards work directly with this material and read its technical language.
• Circular economy and industry: companies, foundations and sustainability awards where waste turned into resource is the very principle being recognised.
• Civil engineering and construction: associations, tenders and public works awards where recycled concrete carries its own technical credibility.
• Environment and climate change: NGOs, regulatory bodies and climate summits; the reduction of aggregate extraction and CDW is a direct and verifiable environmental argument.
• Culture and heritage: museums, foundations and visual arts awards where recycled aggregates, sourced from demolished buildings, carry urban memory.
• Industrial and product design: studios, trade fairs and design awards where the heterogeneity of the material — its controlled imperfection — is precisely what contemporary design stands for.
• Banking and green finance: institutions with ESG funds or green bonds where the physical weight of the object deliberately contrasts with the intangibility of financial capital.

Beyond any specific sector, concrete trophies fit any institutional or brand event that seeks a brutalist aesthetic.

Yes. The cases are customised by screen printing, incorporating logos, texts or graphic elements of the event directly onto the case in one or more ink colours. Customisation is individual and with no minimum order quantity.

They are made from 100% recycled Pankaster of high grammage (600 g/m²), with a cement-colour finish.

The main differences lie in design, material and weight:

1. Design: brutalist aesthetic. The object has a character of its own before any customisation is applied.
2. Material: heterogeneous surface resulting from the recycled aggregates. No two pieces are alike.
3. Weight: greater mass and stability than wood or plastic, which reinforces the perception of the trophy as a physical object within the award ceremony.
