3,3 million tonnes of plastic end up in landfills in Europe. EcoBirdy upcycles waste plastic to extend the life of plastic and increase its durability, reducing the consumption of raw materials.

The Belgian company does not just make furniture: it has developed a method for recycling mixed plastics, usually considered too tricky to recycle. This method is based on technology and human intervention, and the end result is recycled plastic which has very similar properties to virgin plastic - except for the environmental footprint, of course...

Using these recycled materials, ecoBirdy produces a range of children’s furniture, including chairs, tables and lamps. The material is not coloured by any additional pigments. Instead, the source material is visible as speckles in the chair, reminding the user of the importance of precious and limited resources.
