The WasteBasedBrick proves building high-quality, aesthetic structures from waste is possible. It also serves as the source for the WasteBasedSlip, a thinner, cut version of the brick designed to further reduce materials. Produced by DC Bricks.
Upcycling, design, and innovation are the core of everything we do. While operating at an industrial scale, we remain committed to highlighting waste as a valuable resource, unlocking surprising new forms, textures, and colours. That’s why, in addition to our standard range, we offer bespoke solutions for unique projects.
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is an independently verified and registered document that communicates transparent and comparable information about the life-cycle environmental impact of products in a credible way.
You can download the EPD in our download centre.
This depends on the type of product you are looking for. Based on the information communicated in the sample request form, we’ll prepare a brick proposal for you, send samples, get into the specifics of your project and confirm the order, start production, and deliver on-site.
During and after the construction of your project, we’ll connect a few times to see how things are going. Get in touch with questions you might still have, or read more about the process of our custom-made service.
This depends on what product you compare them with. In general, the WasteBasedBricks are priced in the middel range of bricks. But in terms of quality and aesthetics, they score high! When it comes to the segment of non-standard sizes, colours and textures (for example, long formats, moulded bricks, and thick formats), we can compete with suppliers of conventional products.
Our products are successfully applied in projects focusing on sustainability and design with a matching budget. For the most up-to-date price range of our products, please have a look at our pricing page or request a price indication.
On our events page, we post regular (online) workshops and webinars that are free to attend. For larger organisations, we also offer tailor-made presentations on location. Reach out to our sales team to find out more.
WasteBasedBricks and WasteBasedSlips are made from natural and recycled raw materials without the use of synthetic additives or binders that could release VOCs over time.
During the high-temperature kiln-firing process, any organic compounds naturally present in the materials are effectively neutralized. This process renders the bricks inert and non-combustible, minimizing any risk of VOC emissions.

WasteBasedSlips have been tested for anti-slip according to English and European Standards using a pendulum test (CEN/TS 16165, annex C / BS 7679:2) and a ramp method, with footwear (CEN/TS 16165, annex B).
The pendulumtest results in an average friction coefficient of PTV 67, classifying the WasteBasedSlip as a product with low slip potential. The ramp method results in an average maximal gradient of 31.1 degrees classifying the WasteBasedSlip as R12 according to the assessment table slip resistance characteristics in DIN 51130.
WasteBasedBricks- and Slips fall under Fire Class A1 in accordance with EN 13501-1, the highest classification for fire performance in construction materials. This means the bricks are non-combustible and do not contribute to fire at any stage.
