'Circular Beds' Creates Fabrics from Australian Recycled Plastic

Circular Beds is an Australia-based company that has developed a bed base constructed entirely from 100% recycled plastic. The product is manufactured using post-consumer recycled materials sourced domestically, including items such as tarpaulins, milk crates, garden pots, and other commonly disposed plastic goods. This approach is designed to reduce reliance on virgin materials while diverting plastic waste from landfill. Additionally, the manufacturing process supports a closed-loop system by ensuring that the bed base is fully recyclable at the end of its lifecycle.

In addition to its sustainable material composition, the design of the Circular Beds bed base is intended to achieve performance characteristics comparable to those of traditional timber-based counterparts. By eliminating the use of mixed, non-recyclable materials commonly found in conventional bed bases, the product simplifies the recycling process and addresses waste management challenges. This innovation aligns with broader industry initiatives to incorporate circular economy principles into product design, thereby enhancing environmental sustainability within the furniture manufacturing sector.
