In June last year Kaynemaile announced their new product, RE/8 Bio-circular Architectural Mesh. It has been a major shift for Kaynemaile and moves their products further away from fossil-fuel based raw materials to bio-circular raw materials in partnership with their supplier Covestro.

RE/8 Bio-circular Architectural Mesh offers architects, designers and constructors a product made from a single sustainable polymer. The mesh is not only beautiful and functional, but also has the best possible environmental credentials for polycarbonate at this time.

RE/8 offers a reduction of the carbon footprint of Kaynemaile’s previous raw material by up to 80%, increasing Kaynemaile’s circular economy efforts while maintaining proven functionality. RE/8 is made using an ISCC PLUS-certified raw material which is a mass-balanced polymer from industry leaders Covestro.

This product is the result of Kaynemaile’s 20-year commitment to circular economy practices, which commenced with a nil-waste process with full recyclability. “From the very start of our company we have sought the solution that technology is now able to deliver,” says Kayne Horsham, Kaynemaile’s CEO and co-founder.

Kaynemaile’s RE/8 offers up to 70% solar reduction for exterior applications combined with significant airflow through its unique 3-D structure.

RE/8 Bio-circular Architectural Mesh is not only a stand-out exterior and interior product, but it is also 100% chemically identical to their previous material, 100% recyclable, supports GHG reduction targets, and is changing the way our industry thinks of architectural mesh.
