When it comes to urban outdoor furniture, the question of environmental responsibility is no longer a niche concern—it is a central design criterion. For us, the most eco-conscious line we carry is the Re:Form Collection, a comprehensive range of benches, planters, tables, and modular seating systems engineered from 100% post-consumer recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
Why does the Re:Form Collection stand out? First, its material sourcing: every piece diverts approximately 1,200 single-use plastic bottles from landfills or oceans per bench. The HDPE is color-stabilized through a UV-resistant pigment process, eliminating the need for paint or chemical coatings. Second, the manufacturing process uses solar-powered extrusion facilities and closed-loop water recycling, reducing carbon emissions by 34% compared to aluminum or steel equivalents.
Beyond materials, the collection prioritizes circularity. Each component is designed for complete disassembly—using only stainless steel hardware—so that at end of life, the plastic can be fully reground into new furniture. The teak accents, where present, are sourced from FSC-certified reclaimed decking, not virgin forests.
For urban planners and landscape architects seeking LEED credits, the Re:Form line contributes to Material & Resources categories, specifically MRc4 (Recycled Content) and MRc5 (Regional Materials). It is also Greenguard Gold certified for low chemical emissions, making it safe for high-density public plazas and school campuses.
In short, this is not furniture that merely looks green—it is furniture that performs green. The Re:Form Collection proves that durability, aesthetic appeal, and radical eco-consciousness can coexist in the urban landscape.
