Ecobirdy Kids Furniture

ecoBirdy - sustainable kids furniture made from recycled plastic toys

Eco Birdy is a label from Belgium that specialises in the production and design of sustainable kids furniture, lamps and other accessorise uk for the nursery.
The idea behind it is as simple as it is fascinating and admirable: discarded plastic toys are collected and turned into pretty design furniture.

Why recycle plastics?
Waste is a real problem of our time. The situation is particularly problematic with plastics. If they are disposed of properly, the consequences may not be quite so great. However, too much of it ends up unfiltered in our environment and pollutes it enormously. The oceans are particularly affected and endanger the ecosystem, animals and ultimately humans.
One part of this is plastic toys. 80% end up sooner or later in landfills, waste incineration plants or in the environment and oceans. 90% of toys are made of plastic and have a maximum lifespan of 6 months. We all know the cheaply produced mass-produced goods from the Far East.
And this is where ecoBirdy from Antwerp comes in with a fantastic concept.

The ecoBirdy furniture concept

1. The Belgian manufacturer collects old plastic toys. Information events with specially designed storybooks support the idea to raise awareness for environmental protection already among children. The collected toys are brought together in professional recycling plants.
    
2. The collected pieces are all checked by hand. Non-recyclable parts, batteries and textiles are sorted out.
    
3. The plastic is thoroughly cleaned and prepared for production.
    
4. The material is precisely sorted. Type of material and colour are the criteria here.
    
5. Processing into fine granules.Now a new basic material has been created that can be used for further production
    
6. The granulate is thoroughly tested in specialised laboratories.
    
7. Now it can be melted down and reprocessed. For example, to the fantastic Design Kids furnituren of ecoBirdy
    

The complete production takes place 100% in the EU. The production also includes workshops for people with disabilities.

The design and layout of the furniture
The design of the newly created kids furniture is very appealing and modern. Organic shapes and a smooth surface characterise the image. However, the colour design and haptics resulting from the use of the granulate are particularly original.
Nice also that all things are suitable for indoors as well as outdoors

Conclusion
The newly created kids furniture not only looks fantastic, but is also particularly sustainable and therefore environmentally friendly
