The Flexi PET project addresses the environmental challenges posed by furniture waste by introducing a sustainable, modular furniture design made entirely from single-source polyethylene terephthalate (PET). By utilizing PET’s high recyclability (over 60%) and eliminating traditional multi-material components like frames, adhesives, and screws, Flexi PET simplifies manufacturing, enhances recycling efficiency, and reduces waste. This innovative approach not only meets diverse user needs with its flexible modular design but also sets a benchmark for sustainability in the furniture industry, paving the way for a circular economy.
