Comfortable sustainable furniture
Comfortable Sustainable Furniture made from recycled plastic.
We stop deforestation, reduce plastic waste and create local jobs. We design and manufacture comfortable sustainable furniture, by replacing the wood structure with recovered plastic from environment, oceans and shores.
Every year billions of trees are cut, legal and illegal, for the furniture industry. If we could only change 1% for our recycled structure, there will be an enormous change in deforestation and plastic waste.
Every SIDS in the world has problems in plastic waste management, self use and washed ashore. We want to establish a world were islands can profit from the waste, clean up the environment, and create local jobs and export.
Besides that, our design is fully recyclable after end of life, and will never end up in landfills, the example of the Circular Economy.
It is an old tradition, innovated for the new world in sustainable living!
