From Waste to Worth: The Business Behind SLAB Lab
Share
Marble slurry is often treated as waste during marble processing, creating environmental and disposal challenges. At SLAB Lab, we see it differently—as a raw material with untapped potential.
SLAB Lab is a student-led initiative focused on transforming marble slurry into functional, decorative tabletop products such as coasters, trays, and paperweights. Our approach is based on small-batch production, simple processes, and locally available materials, allowing us to create value while staying environmentally responsible.
Each piece is handcrafted, which means no two products are the same. This uniqueness reflects the time, effort, and care involved in the making process. Rather than competing with mass-produced décor, SLAB Lab is designed for people who value thoughtful design, sustainability, and purpose-driven products.
This is the early stage of our journey, but it already proves one thing: waste can be reused, design can be intentional, and sustainability can be practical.
