Singapore Polytechnic engaged reXtore to create a permanent centrepiece for their new Sustainable Learning Library, a space dedicated to helping Singapore’s SMEs navigate the transition to more sustainable operations. The result was an installation that stops people the moment they walk in: a melting glacier landscape spanning the length of the library, brought to life with remote-controlled colour-changing lighting.

Every component was built from the STAXX circular exhibition system, injection moulded from 100% certified ocean-bound plastic recovered from Malaysia’s rivers and beaches by local fishermen. The material in this installation represents the equivalent of 162,000 shampoo bottles, approximately 1,200kg, turning rescued waste into something that will inspire visitors every day. Integrated screens carry sustainability education content throughout the structure, which was assembled without tools, adhesives or off-cuts and remains fully dismantlable for whatever comes next. It is the kind of project that reminds us exactly why we do what we do.
