The company's core mission is to innovate using locally sourced "waste" materials, thereby mitigating the adverse effects of business and consumer activities on society, economy, and the environment.

At the heart of Tŷ Syml's philosophy is a consideration of a product's entire life cycle, from material sourcing and manufacturing to end-of-life disposal. This comprehensive approach aligns with their belief that future design and architecture should 'design out' waste, creating systems where the concept of waste becomes obsolete.

Experimentation is crucial to Tŷ Syml's development process. By extensively exploring new materials and their properties, the Tŷ Syml gains a deep understanding of each material's capabilities and potential applications. This experimental approach often leads to unexpected and innovative outcomes, as the materials themselves guide the evolution of products.
