Didde Christiansen, designer and owner of Wecycle Furniture, has crafted an outdoor bench from reclaimed wood and recycled safety belts. The bench's frame is made entirely from reclaimed wood, and the seat of the bench is woven using seatbelts sourced through THE UPCYCL.

Salling Autogenbrug

The recycled seatbelts used for weaving the bench were sourced from the member company Salling Autogenbrug. Salling Autogenbrug is "the greenest of its kind." Not only do they function as an auto recycling center, reusing car parts for other vehicles, but they also take it a step further by extracting residual waste such as glass, plastic, seatbelts, airbags, and more - resources that would otherwise end up in incineration.

Wecycle Furniture

Wecycle Furniture is known for designing furniture with a minimalist, classic, and Nordic expression. All their furniture is exclusively made from reclaimed wood and natural textiles. Perfectionism is a virtue that extends down to the smallest details of Wecycle Furniture's pieces, ensuring that their furniture is both durable and timeless in style.

Reducing CO2 emissions, waste, and the consumption of virgin materials

Wecycle Furniture's outdoor bench is a design solution that incorporates circularity from the outset of the creation process. THE UPCYCL's New Waste materials are consistently available and uniform, enabling members like Wecycle Furniture to integrate these materials into their supply chain. This enables Wecycle Furniture's mission to create sustainable design furniture. The collaboration between Salling Autogenbrug, Wecycle Furniture, and THE UPCYCL contributes to a reduction in CO2 emissions, waste quantities, and the consumption of virgin materials.
