Note:
Originally designed in 1958, the design has been relaunced using a composite of recycled e-waste plastic combined with coffee bean waste or sawdust. Oak or beech has been used for the frame. Each chair contains 2.14 kg of waste material. A relatively weak ERPR score was awarded, as the shell and frame are made from different materials. Chair is shipped fully assembled and does not stack for transport efficiencies. Chair must be dismantled to enable end-of-life reprocessing. Shell cannot be recycled. Weight not specified - estimated at 5kg.
