Modular Furniture from Plastics Solution for Modern Lifestyle
Plastics are key materials in the production of many products. One of those products which are used by everyone around the globe includes furniture. This is because of the universal initiative to reduce deforestation for making furniture both for indoor and outdoor use. Furthermore, the trend towards environmental conservation has led to the increasing use of recycled or bioplastics in furniture production. Beyond durability and relatively low cost, using recycled or bioplastics also align with the Circular Economy philosophy to promote sustainability.
Examples of furniture made by injection molding method:
- Outdoor furniture: Garden chairs, coffee tables, sofas.
- Home furniture: Desks, office chairs, shelves.
- Children's furniture: School desks, children's chairs, Legos.
- Decorative items: Plant pots, lamps.

These modular items have gain worldwide popularity especially when designed with a focus on style and modernity. They can also be easily manufactured using injection molding or 3D printing method.
