TRÆ consist of three buildings which are 6, 6, and 20 floors high, built by using upcycled products. TRÆ is built in wood, concrete and glass, but also work with direct re-use, with biobased and upcycled products. Examples are discarded wind turbine blades, which, among other things, go through a series of fire tests before they are used on the facade. In addition, the project includes recycled facade panels, bricks, wood, double glazing and other materials that have been used before. Kilden & Hindby and stakeholders try to find, test and select materials along the way, and therefore cannot, for example, tell exactly how the facade will look, how the floors will be in the future offices or what kind of material is used for the acoustic ceilings. It is a new way of thinking and a different way of building, but we have a shared responsibility and an ambition to push the boundaries of how we build today. Now they try with TRÆ.

At ALICE, you can experience musical legends and fresh breakthroughs in an intimate setting, where there's room for both celebration and deep reflection. Here, global perspectives merge with a commitment to local communities and emerging talent. They create space for both the ecstasy of the dance floor and the debate-provoking atmosphere of cultural salons.

Throughout the year, they present a wide range of concerts, from global roots, folk, and jazz/improv to sound art, contemporary composition, metal, and electronic experiments. They also frequently venture outside their venue, organizing special concerts in unique spaces and collaborating with other actors—locally, nationally, and internationally—on larger events like festivals and tours. They work with partners like Roskilde Festival, Copenhagen Jazz Festival, CPH
, Strøm, and Copenhagen Opera Festival. ALICE is always eager for collaborations that showcase music in new ways and actively participates in public discussions about the role of music in society.

ALICE opened its doors on February 1, 2018, as a new venture following the merger of the venues Global and Jazzhouse, and has recently returned "home" to Nørrebro after an extensive renovation of the space.

The pharmaceutical company is expanding. As a consequence, they also need more working spaces, also in the inner Copenhagen area.

The specialist interior designers, Laika Rum design, chose to specify and work with the a:gain upcycled Nærø acoustic batts mad of upcycled textiles. In this case, the connection between the respect of resources and the customer is very interlinked, as the textiles are worn-out NOVO lab uniforms. The wooden frames are made of discarded wood.

We find the design and the combination of colours made by Laika to be spot on!

Carls Øl – og Spisehus is the area’s social gathering and food house. The restaurant is in an area with a history of the many hundreds of brewery employees who lived in Carlsbergbyen’s workers’ housing from 1847 until the turn of the millennium. Carlsbergbyen’s new beer and dining house has fantastic energy and offers experiences to residents and visitors in the area. The owners wanted to decorate with respect to the history of the area and it was, therefore, obvious to include the Fusø tabletops. The Fusø DraughtMaster Tabletops create a dynamic interplay between the raw frames and the aesthetic quality of the material that comes together well at Carl's. The addition of these tabletops will surely bring up new conversations and new experiences at Carls Øl- og Spisehus.

The circular, Danish furniture brand Mater has joined forces with a:gain to reproduce a garden furniture collection first created in 1955 by the 20th century’s most renowned design couple: Nanna and Jørgen Ditzel. Mater and a:gain released this collection in mid-May 2021 and the very first customer for these products was of course Carlsberg. They have ordered chairs and tables for their new water recycling plant in Fredericia and their HQ Terrace. The chairs and tables fit perfectly in Carlsberg's environments around their HQ and Water Recycling Plant bringing a touch of Danish design. To sit on products made out of their own waste will for sure encourage talks about circular economy.

Our Fusø DraughtMaster Upcycled tabletop were picked as the centerpiece of every dining experience at Alexanders Bistro. We think that the marble resemblance combined with a conscious sustainable profile is a great combination and fit for any modern restaurant. This upcycled tabletop is not only beautiful and durable, but it also helps start a conversation while waiting for your orders. Even if the contexts from Fusø can be kitchen front, tops, wall cladding or something different, we at a:gain make it possible. a:gain contributes to a more greener profile, and we do our best to reassure a more sustainable future with the products we offer.

The engineering company, ABC Rådgivende Ingeniører, has a strong focus on structural engineering but creates partnerships with other engineering disciplines. Sustainability has had an ever-increasing focus. A strong focus and competence area within wooden structures is one visible proof of this focus. Additionally, a team of DGNB consultants is growing, and as a part of ABC Engineering moving from Rødovre to Glostrup, there was a desire to try to incorporate upcycled furniture in the cantina area. Upcycled furniture does not in itself solve the issue we face with scarce resources. However, risk levels (opposed to e.g. the primary structural elements of a building) are low and furthermore, they act as a conversation starter. A conversation on how we as a society can, and must, prevent materials from being incinerated or deposited. A fun fact about this delivery is that the revenue made by a:gain, was reinvested directly into an additional firestop test at DBI of the a:gain Bronsø wooden façade. It passed the test, thereby enabling a 2.500 m2 order of Bronsø to succeed for another project made by Skanska. All small actions lead to larger successes, also when it comes to saving scarce resources.

At the micro coffee roastery at Bjæverskov, Zealand, Kaffeværkstedet experienced non-satisfactory acoustics within the office. The owners Claus and Christian are very conscious about the sourcing of their coffee, and that they uphold the highest standards in sustainability. Hence, as they heard about a:gain, they reached out for guidance and a waste-based solution. It meant a lot to them that the production had been done in Denmark and had created local labor and jobs in Denmark. When they found out that our KIØ acoustic panels came in a surface treatment of the wood called Dark Coffee, the choice naturally fell on those. The acoustic panels provided the perfect sustainable solution, not only ensuring an improved soundscape within the office but also supporting a green(er) transition of the real estate business.

The Kornerup Dorm is a newly build dorm with facilities for 52 students. The building consists of 6 storeys and is located at Niels Steensens Vej in Gentofte. In the interior décor, building owners and contractors wanted to showcase and use products that are manufactured from waste streams. Upcycled furniture does in itself not solve the issue we face with scarce resources. However, risk levels (opposed to e.g. the primary structural elements of a building) are low and furthermore, they act as a conversation starter. A conversation on how we as a society can, and must, prevent materials from being incinerated or deposited.

Between August 2019 and December 2021, the Carlsberg Academy underwent an extensive programme of restoration, refurbishment, and technical upgrading. In the summer of 2019, the Carlsberg Foundation initiated extensive restoration work on the old buildings on the plot of land, which, in addition to the Italianate-Classical main building, include the Winter Garden, the Pompeii Hall, a terrace, and the magnificent gardens. The aim of the work was to return the Carlsberg Academy to something approaching its original aesthetic look and to futureproof the buildings, which since 1995 have been a venue for scientific symposiums and conferences. The ambition was to return the Academy to how it originally looked in the mid-1800s when Brewer J.C. Jacobsen built the villa as his family home. This ambition has been successfully achieved. The beer bar in the conservatory has been completely designed by Tuxen Design. This bar, serving Carlsberg's famous beer - known as "probably the best beer in the world" - aims to reflect the extreme care, craftsmanship, and quality consciousness so deeply rooted in Carlsberg. It's a homage to the meticulous craftsmanship and quality obsession that runs deep in the Carlsberg DNA. The showstopper bar front is crafted from Carlsberg's iconic plastic beer anchors - granulated, molded, and adorned with shiny brass accents that scream opulence! It's like discovering a hidden gem amidst the lush greenery of the conservatory. The cozy wall-mounted bar tables are an extension of the bar's design philosophy, featuring the same materials and decorative elements that make the bar a beer lover's paradise. Visitors are invited to come and experience the magic of Carlsberg Academy.

At the Carlsberg Lounge at Anfield, Liverpool, football supporters from all around the world come to enjoy a game and a pint. During the 2022 World Cup, a longer break in the match program allowed for an upgrade of the lounge. “With the help from our friends at a:gain, who have delivered customised tables and chairs made with upcycled Draughtmaster material, we have not only upgraded the overall look, but also taken a step towards a more sustainable football experience. "[I am] really proud to see danish design and waste-based interior in our Lounge and can’t wait for our guests to experience it. I’m definitely biased, but the Carlsberg Lounge is one of the very best places to be on a match day, and now it’s even better” says Global Sponsorship Director at Carlsberg Group, Louise Bach. “We are so proud that danish design and waste-based interior will be present at Anfield. Thereby also showcasing how danish green start up companies such as a:gain is spreading the word internationally on how to provide solutions to preserve our scarce resources on our beautiful planet. The R.U.M. chair recently won the Bo Bedre Sustainability Award 2022.” says CCO at a:gain, Christian Wittrup

Now it is possible to place usable materials in the Customer-to-Customer area at DIN Forsyning's five recycling centers. This is explained by Jens Stræde Bondesen, operations manager for recycling at DIN Forsyning.

In recent years, DIN Forsyning has had a similar scheme at the recycling center in Nørre Nebel, where employees have gained a lot of experience. That experience, combined with visits to other recycling centers across the country, revealed many positive aspects of a swap area.

In connection with the planning and construction of new Customer-to-Customer areas, DIN Forsyning searched for building materials that would cause less harm to Mother Earth. Among other choices, they selected the a:gain Bronsø facade cladding wood, which was installed by Kvadrat Byg from Esbjerg.
