The latest design to find a place in our Eco-Friendly category is this modern stool fashioned from wire created with reclaimed scrap metal, otherwise destined for the landfill.
As always, to be considered Eco-Friendly a design must either be created from products which are 100% natural, finished with non-toxic earth-friendly products or created from reclaimed woods and materials. Click here to see more Eco-Friendly designs now.
The metal used to create the recycled wire on this design comes from a range of products including vehicles and building supplies. More than 145 million tons of recyclable scrap metal is processed each year into raw materials and it is one of the few products that contributes positively to the U.S. balance of trade, with $15.7 billion exported annually.
Scrap recycling helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and conserves energy and natural resources. It diverts 145 million tons of materials away from landfills each year and helps keep air and water cleaner by removing potentially hazardous materials from the eco-system.
In additional to the obvious environmental benefits, we love the contrast of an industrial material with the open design of the wrapped wire frame. Its durable construction is suitable for an interior setting or covered exterior space. -
