RecycAll: Innovation and sustainability recognized at the Compasso d'Oro

RecycALL is the result of a research journey that brings together aesthetics, technology, and environmental responsibility. Designed by Tiziana Di Sipio, Sara Priore, and Alessandro Canepa for Viscio Urban Design, the project pursues tangible goals: recycling local short-supply-chain materials, reducing production and sales costs, cutting CO2 emissions, generating independent light, and offering extensive customization options. The core module, made of reconstituted Madrepietra, incorporates Italcementi’s TX Active® photocatalytic technology, which breaks down pollutants when exposed to light. Photoluminescent glass microparticles allow the product to glow in the dark without the need for electricity. Its cylindrical shape maximizes light absorption, while the customizable upper “cap” enhances its design impact and functionality. Available as a planter as well, RecycALL offers hybrid solutions fit for both historic and modern environments. The system is designed for modular serial manufacturing, combining refined aesthetics with adaptability—each unit customizable to match project requirements. Developed from the original concept, Bitt extends the RecycALL range—a sculptural urban bollard crafted from Madrepietra and stainless steel, in collaboration with Amare Group, specialists in luxury nautical design. First showcased at Metstrade Amsterdam 2024, Bitt will be a highlight at future editions of Metstrade 2025 and Boot Düsseldorf 2026, representing a convergence of urban utility and high-end nautical craftsmanship.

The project RecycAll

RecycAll is an expression of sustainable urban design developed by Tiziana di Sipio, Alessandro Canepa, and Sara Priore for Viscio Urban Design. These photoluminescent bollards, made of reconstituted Madrepietra stone from waste from the Apricena quarries, demonstrate exceptional durability and versatility. Incorporating photoluminescence and Italcementi’s TX Active® photocatalytic technology, RecycAll illuminates urban spaces while reducing pollution. Adaptable to a variety of urban contexts, RecycAll’s modular design allows for configurations such as seating or bollards, enhancing both the aesthetics and functionality of public spaces.
