Tabouret cannelé-made from recycled toys.
It is made from recyclable plastic materials, which solves the problem of plastic waste recycling.
How does it work?
The height is suitable for children used as the stool, and the hollow design reduce the weight. The upper handle hole is designed for take it easily.
Reverse placement can also be a good helper for children toys storage. The material is sturdy, waterproof and light-resistant, it can be used in multiple spaces, not only for balconies, courtyards, attic, living rooms, and toilets.
Why is it needed?
On average, a toy has a lifespan of only six months. By sharing toys through toy libraries, their lifespan can be extended. However, when a toy breaks, it needs to be disposed of, which leads to environmental pollution. Therefore, we have designed a toy that uses 50% recycled materials, such as discarded toys, ocean plastic waste, and household items, to create a 100% recyclable product that can be discarded without harming the environment.
How does it improve life?
There are more than 350 million tons of plastic waste in the world every year, of which less than 10% can be used for recycling. The average production time for each Tabouret cannelé is about 1 hour. In this way, the utilization rate of recycling is increased, and a sustainable solution is sought for life and the environment.
