Minimize Waste

We minimize waste from the commercial and the industrial sectors
by using upcycled plastic from two sources.

 Post-industrial recycled PP

This is plastic waste from the production of other polypropylene products which has been collected and reprocessed for reuse, which makes a zero-waste production line.

 Post-consumer recycled PP

This is used plastic from commercial products, which has been sorted and reclaimed. Typically from household waste such as yogurt container and medicine bottles or from other sources such as discarded fishing nets.

The final material for Pato is a mix of the softer post-consumer PP
and the more rigid and durable post-industrial PP. Making each chair
both recyclable and durable in use.

Designed for disassembly

Pato is an eco-intelligent collection of multi-purpose chairs comprised of pure, recycled polypropylene plastic (PP). Pato is designed for disassembly on site to take part in circular economy. Fredericia offers all spare parts for maintenance on site.
