Munich Startup: Who are you and what does Mungenast / Morroni do?
Moritz Mungenast: Mungenast / Morroni is an office for 3D-printed architecture based in RUFFINIHAUS Creative Hub and develops building facades and interiors from recycled plastic bottles.
Munich Startup: What tech features do you use to apply cradle-to-cradle principles?
Moritz Mungenast: We currently use recycled PETG, polyethylene terephthalate, which most people know in the form of PET bottles. With this material, we can produce multifunctional and translucent facades. The material can be 100 percent reintegrated into a new facade element after its lifecycle. This ensures we maintain a closed material loop.

Munich Startup: How do you incorporate the topic of circular economy into your business model?
Moritz Mungenast: This is the driver of our idea: combining a new material with additive manufacturing and computational design to open up new design possibilities in architecture. With this, we want to establish new CO2-neutral material solutions for translucent building components in the construction industry.
