Plastic once viewed as a revolutionary material is now closely examined for its environmental impact, particularly plastic waste. Furniture brand Heller is responding to these challenges by incorporating an enzyme into their products, enhancing biodegradation and aiming for sustainability. This initiative reflects a broader trend within the design industry seeking alternatives and solutions. Despite prior efforts focusing on recycling and using bio-based materials, the integration of plastic-eating microorganisms represents a significant evolution in tackling the plastic waste crisis.
Ten years ago, we were all drinking out of plastic water bottles and nobody really cared. But we learned that plastics are bad for the world.
We wanted to get to the next level and become more sustainable... How can we be good for the planet and create incredible design?
