Flowco is a 100% Portuguese startup dedicated to the circular economy, specialising in transforming industrial waste such as tyres and footwear soles into sustainable materials and products. By combining materials research, product design, digital prototyping, and local production, the company develops visually distinctive solutions for architects, interior designers, brands, and industries seeking environmentally responsible alternatives.
Founded by four architects with a shared vision of turning waste into valuable resources, Flowco began as an idea submitted to a business competition. The project gained momentum eight years ago when the founders joined Porto Design Factory. According to Co-Founder António Vale, this incubation period was essential for transforming the concept into a viable business.
