Out with the outdated, in with the brand new: 5 methods to fabricate recycled merchandise | Information | Architonic

We’re often warned how long it takes for plastic products to break down, but many still seem to snap and break easily. With no way of putting them back together, they’re sentenced to 1,000 years in landfill.

Innovative manufacturing techniques, however, allow stylish products to be made from post-consumer plastic (PCR), without limits. As evidenced by Infiniti’s Freya chair, PCR plastic is strong, versatile and colourful. Freya’s own innovative method of invisibly securing its seat panel to a PCR plastic frame removes the requirement for harmful glues, and allows the chair to be broken down and fed back into the plastic production cycle once more.
