Evolve Chair by Tom Robinson
London designer Tom Robinson used 100 per cent recycled plastic from e-waste to produce his Evolve Chair, which aims to give the manmade material a more natural feel.
The black chair is constructed from recycled plastic sheets made by Netherlands-based The Good Plastics Company from e-waste, such as discarded laptops and computers.

Its colour comes from the black plastic of the electronics, which is crushed and granulated before being formed into plastic panels. The designer believes this process gives the material a look and feel that isn't usually associated with plastic.

Live panel on the challenges of making sustainability mainstream

The live conversation also covered the role of collaboration in the design industry, how to turn discourse into action, and the ways in which sustainability could work as a business strategy.
"The obstacles for a very traditional, 120-year manufacturer like Johnson Tiles are very different to those of an entrepreneurial business like The Good Plastic Company," said Bridges.
"As the UK's only surviving large scale tile manufacturer, we've had to navigate our industrial set-up to move forward sustainably; both to address the environmental crisis and to stay in business," he added.
