Kiilto is honoured to announce that our innovative solution Debonding on Demand has been nominated for Nordbygg's Gold Medal 2025. The award is given to the most innovative new product of the year in the construction sector and is organised by Nordbygg in collaboration with Svensk Byggtjänst. The nomination recognises Kiilto's commitment to sustainability and innovation in the construction industry.
Debonding on Demand is a revolutionary adhesive technology that makes construction and renovation waste recyclable. By enabling the controlled separation of bonded materials, for example through heat or microwaves. This means that tiles can be reused instead of ending up in landfill.
A solution that can transform the construction industry
Construction and demolition waste accounts for a significant share of the world’s total waste. In Sweden alone, construction waste amounts to around 14.3 million tonnes per year (2020), of which only a small proportion is recycled. Debonding on Demand addresses this challenge through a circular solution that enables efficient reuse of construction materials.
“We are extremely proud of this nomination and delighted that Debonding on Demand is recognised as one of the most innovative new products on the market. Our goal is to drive the construction industry towards a more sustainable future, where reuse and circularity are a given.” – Peter Forsberg, Kiilto.
