REX Netherlands
The first Dutch desposit (pfand) chair
Circuform aims to minimise the use of expensive new raw materials and to maximise reuse. It relaunched design by Ineke Hans from 2011: REX. The design has constructively been worked out as intended. The injection molds are re-engineered for recycled material (PA6), the chair is sustainable and fully recyclable. With REX a network of deposit stations is introduced where chairs can be brought back for a guaranteed € 20 refund. Returned chairs are checked, cleaned, repaired if necessary and re-sold, again with a deposit. Broken chairs are shredded into valuable raw material for new production.
