In close cooperation with Der Grüne Punkt, Casala has produced chairs whose seat and back are made from 100% recycled plastic household waste. The production of the Curvy Circular Family chairs is an important project for both Der Grüne Punkt and Casala, in view of the requirements imposed on technology, quality and innovation.
The use of recycled plastics is an important link to save on natural resources, reduce the environmental impact and also ensure the quality and commercial value of contract furniture. With the recycling of Systalen, Der Grüne Punkt is also a producer of plastic granulates, which offer a truly environmentally friendly alternative for the production of new plastics. Ultra-pure granules are produced from plastic household waste, which produces 100% recycled plastic seats and backs for Casala chairs.
So far, the recyclates of Der Grüne Punkt have mainly been used in products for the construction, gardening, household and packaging sectors. Thanks to the development of the highly innovative granulate product line, premium products such as seats and backs of Casala contract furniture can now also be produced. The recyclates are available in various modern colours, odourless, resistant to mechanical stress and do not discolour.
Casala relies on the high-quality and affordable solution with 100% premium Systalen PP regranulate as material for the plastic seat and back of the Curvy Circular Family chairs. Curvy emphasizes the diverse, attractive application possibilities of Systalen recyclate and thus the trend towards more use of additive-free recycling plastics.
Der Grüne Punkt: “The acceptance of the plastics processing industry is of great importance for the development of a market for recycled products. Systalen PP, our premium recyclate meets the highest design and quality requirements. The use of Systalen PP for the Curvy Circular Family chairs is a very interesting new area of application for Der Grüne Punkt”, emphasizes Michael Wiener, CEO of Der Grüne Punkt.
Casala: “With more than 100 years of experience in the furniture industry, Casala delivers high-quality contract furniture that not only delivers on a quality promise, but also offers sustainable alternatives. By using the 100% premium regranulate from Der Grüne Punkt in the Curvy Circular Family chairs, we are giving a new dimension to our motivation Design linked to Functionality.”
