From plastic to jeans, from masks to electronic waste: now the road to recycling is paved and increasingly followed not only by large companies, but also by small businesses and individuals.
Every economic sector, from fashion to technology, tends more and more towards sustainability, because the importance of safeguarding our planet is no longer an option, but a priority.
Design is also becoming greener and ready to celebrate Global Recycling Daythe global event dedicated to recycling that takes place on March 18.
Companies and individuals will once again be pushed to be more aware of the waste they leave behind and to try to reuse it creatively.
The goal is to reduce the impact on the environment: recycling, in fact, reduces the energy we use, improves the quality of the water and air we breathe and fights climate change. Since it became a UN-recognized day in 2018, millions upon millions of people and businesses have come together to increase recycling initiatives.
Design Italy, an e-commerce platform dedicated to the diffusion of contemporary design works throughout the world, supports Made in Italy, directs consumers to choose more sustainable lifestyles and make more responsible purchases all year round. The designers involved are committed to creating unique pieces, with durable materials, thanks to anti-waste techniques or using recycled materials or materials destined for garbage.
But they are certainly not the only ones: many furniture and design companies are increasingly committed to this, offering accessories that are not only beautiful, but also sustainable because they are the result of processing materials from other uses. We use, for example, old jeans to make trendy poufs or the sails of boats for baskets reminiscent of the sea or, again, cardboard coming from industrial waste for elegant and very light chaise-longue.
These and other proposals here in the gallery below.
And if you want to try your hand at it, you can read I Ricreoa creative recycling manual, signed by Francesco Di Biaso, which he collects 49 original projects that allow you to transform unused objects or ‘waste’ materials into new, beautiful and useful things.
