Revo
How is this an example of alternative material selection?
Revo is a family of modular workplace furniture. Recyclable materials have been used throughout the family of products. REPP (recycled expanded polypropylene) has been used instead of plywood reducing product weight by 40% reducing shipping emissions. REPP is made without additives such a fibreglass so can be remoulded at end of life.
How is this an example of design for disassembly?
Revo is designed to be disassembled - no glue or staples are used in manufacture. This increases the ease for material separation at end of life.
What else is Revo doing?
74% of all materials used to produce Revo are recyclable and post consumer recycled materials have been used to create the upholstery.
