INNOVATION HUB
We engineer innovation across the full lifecycle, from material research to circular end-of-life.
Material Development
We research market-ready materials and, when needed, co-develop custom versions or proprietary solutions.
The goal is to improve design performance, sensorial quality and environmental impact from the earliest stage.
Application Development
We validate the applicability of innovative materials at component and product level through physical target definition and testing.
This service supports processability assessment and quality acceptance before industrial adoption.
Product Design
We design new products from the ground up by integrating innovation, brand identity and merchandise expertise.
The process balances creativity with cost, quality and regulatory targets.
Product Transformation
We redesign existing products to meet new cost, quality and sustainability targets without losing what makes them distinctive.
The work combines material innovation with structural and aesthetic re-design.
End-of-Life of Materials
We create recovery pathways for deadstock materials and production scraps to divert waste from landfill.
This generates new value through recycling or transformation into secondary material streams.
End-of-Life OF Products
We define circular processes for faulty goods, unsold inventory and post-consumer products.
By doing so, we turn waste into industrial opportunities, cost savings and new material value.
We empower brands and manufacturers to innovate materials, products and business models through deep value chain experties and end-to-end prodcut development knowledge.
ACBC operates at the intersection of the entire value chain: from material suppliers to production facilities, from brands to end consumers — we offer the market an end-to-end service from planning to go-to-market.
MATERIAL EXPERTISE
We understand how materials are made and how their impact from raw material to finished component.
Process Know-how
We understand production processes and assess their implications to create better products with fewer resources.
BRAND INTELLIGENCE
We understand brands’ real needs — from sourcing and efficiency to quality and positioning.
MARKET INSIGHT
We track trends, consumer expectations and regulations to anticipate change.
Through ACBC’s Innovation HUB, we deliver scalable, regenerative solutions
that create impact across the three key life-cycle stages: materials, product, and end-of-life.
RIGENER-AM
Transforming Waste into Innovation
RIGENER-AM is a public-funded initiative by Regione Lombardia that transforms textile and polymer waste into high-performance materials for large-scale 3D printing in furniture and design.
