Get inspired
ECO-oh! arrives at the Triennale di Milano with
TheNewNORMAL! - let’s recycle for life
a project curated by Lorenzo Palmeri for the Design Week 2017.
The New Normal, Let’s recycle for life invites visitors to think
about living their lives even more in harmony with nature. ECO-oh!
believes the collecting of household plastics will come naturally, just
as it is today for paper and glass. Then we can stop burning these
plastics and recycle them into valuable raw materials that can be
transformed into beautifully designed, 100% recyclable products.
Products with unique textures and shapes, created by designers
that embrace life and surprising customers with simplicity and
beauty. Let’s recycle for life.

REDUCING THE WASTE MOUNTAIN STARTS WITH YOU SORTING AT HOME.
Household plastics are everywhere,
we use plastic in fruit and vegetable
packaging, yoghurt pots and butter
tubs, films, bags and so much more.
ECO-oh! wants to inspire you to sort
out these plastics, because they are
precious raw materials that should not
be incinerated. Together we aspire to
100% recycling.

RECYCLING HOUSEHOLD PLASTICS INTO VALUABLE RAW MATERIALS
In our unique plant in Belgium mixed
plastics are processed directly into
valuable raw materials in the most
ecological and cost-effective way.
It is our way to help shape a cleaner
planet with happy people using plastics
that benefit nature.

Let s create
FROM YOGHURT POT TO DESIGN BENCH
Every object we create is made of 100%
recycled plastics and is 100% recyclable. From functional sustainable garden
edging to masterpieces of art, like the
Altamira Collection. Every object is the
result of families for whom the sorting
out of plastic has become natural. By
designing public furniture citizens can
enjoy the result of their sorting.

WHAT WOULD YOU DESIGN IN PRECIOUS RECYLED PLASTICS?
Closing the cycle of precious plastics is
something we do together. We therefore
invite designers and manufacturers to
re-think existing products and processes or to design and create new ones.
By designing with respect for the nature
of recycled plastics you will discover the
beauty within this material. Feel invited.

design stretches into art. By creating
a collection of 4 benches made from
100% post-consumer plastics, the
artist, François Blommaerts, honours
the recycling process as a way to
respect nature. Just as in nature, the
Altamira Collection is a play of waves as
found in old canyons in Arizona where
the artist found his inspiration for the
Altamira Collection. Enjoy the lounge

about life.
RECYCLED PLASTIC ART THAT HONOURS NATURE
H-bench
INTRODUCING COMFORTABLE DESIGN THAT BRINGS JOY
THE H-BENCH
Studio Segers once more created an
iconically designed bench made out of
100% recycled post-consumers plastics. Its design ensures functionality and
comfort to melt together into a flexible
modular concept. Its concept enables
the creation of an endless bench, combining individual low or high modules in
different colours facing different sides.
The H-benches are introducing comfortable design for public furniture that
brings joy.
H-bench
With its very modular concept the H-bench
is finding its way into squares, stations,
parks and beautiful places throughout the
city. Allowing people to relax, meet and
connect on street furniture that brings pure
ecology into public areas, is what makes
us happy. Choosing public furniture with
100% recycled content benefits nature and
inspires citizens to carry on sorting their
household plastics.
So if you know a beautiful place in need
of an iconic bench, let us know.
Be connected
ECO-oh! presents its new H-bench and its Altamira
Collection.
Introducing comfortable design for public furniture that brings joy.
Feel invited to distribute our products all over the world,
or join us in designing more products out of precious recycled plastics.
