Hringrásarveggurinn or „The circular wall“ is a research and development project carried out by an interdisciplinary group of architects, engineers, acoustic consultant, sustainability consultants, a contractor and a glass artist.

During the first phase an assessment was made of available waste streams in Iceland for reuse as an interior wall. The most suitable types of waste materials were defined which ensure good durability of the wall, healthy indoor air quality free from mold and harmful substances, price competitiveness and flexibility for mass production. Initial ideas included walls made of paper, glass or concrete from waste in the construction industry.

The second phase of the project focused on the use of glass as a main material. During this phase Anders Vange from Reykjavík Glass joined the team to further develop the wall.

The first prototype was exhibited in Rammagerðin during Hönnunarmars 2025.
