Mosa and Ardex’s Re-Tile System promotes sustainability by allowing tiles to be reused, addressing the construction sector’s significant CO₂ emissions and waste challenges.

Innovative Steps Towards Circular Construction

The Re-Tile System, launched by Dutch tile manufacturer Mosa in collaboration with Ardex, a construction chemical specialist, represents a significant advancement in sustainable building practices. This system allows ceramic tiles to be dismantled and reused without losing their quality, substantially reducing both construction waste and CO₂ emissions. The introduction of the system took place on 28 October 2025 at the Greenworks Academy in Apeldoorn, Netherlands, showcasing its potential to revolutionize the industry [1][2][3].

Technological Advancements and Environmental Impact

Central to the Re-Tile System is Ardex’s CircuTec mortar technology, which enables tiles to be easily removed and reused. This innovation reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 70% compared to traditional tile adhesives, thus addressing the environmental challenges posed by conventional construction methods. The CircuTec technology was officially introduced on 23 October 2025 in Witten, Germany, and marks a pivotal shift towards more sustainable building practices [4][5][6].

Circular Economy and Certification

A key feature of the Re-Tile System is its integration into a circular economy framework, as evidenced by the Cradle to Cradle Gold certification of Mosa tiles. This certification ensures that the tiles meet high standards of sustainability and can be completely recycled at the end of their lifecycle. Mosa’s commitment to sustainability is further demonstrated by its tile take-back program, which collects used tiles to be repurposed as raw materials for new tiles, thereby preserving material value and minimizing waste [1][5][7].

Future Prospects and Market Expansion

The market introduction of the Re-Tile System is expected to have a profound impact on the construction industry, promoting widespread adoption of circular building practices. With plans to extend the system throughout Europe by 2026, Mosa and Ardex aim to set a new standard for sustainable construction. The first projects utilizing this system are anticipated to be completed by the end of 2025, signaling the beginning of a broader rollout and adoption across the continent [3][4][8].
