100% Recycled Materials All Loll outdoor furniture is made from 100% recycled HDPE. What is that? It is high density polyethylene, a plastic resin used in products and packaging such as milk jugs, detergent bottles, margarine tubs, and garbage containers. All colors except black are post-consumer recycled, whereas the black material is post-industrial recycled HDPE. Post consumer HDPE is a material or finished product that has served its intended use and has been diverted or recovered from waste destined for disposal, having completed its life as a consumer item. In making furniture we generate waste too. 90% of the waste from Loll’s manufacturing process is sent to a recycling plant (where it is recycled into post-industrial HDPE), and all Loll furniture is also 100% recyclable. For every pound of weight in a Loll chair there are an estimated 8 recycled milk jugs being used, saving natural resources and reducing land-fill waste. Richlite Pieces that include Richlite (T77 chair, footstool, credenzas) are available in "nutmeg and slate" colors. Nutmeg colored material uses 50% recycled content and are made with recycled old corrugated cardboard. “Slate” or black Richlite is FSC certified paper and will maintain its appearance longer outdoors than the “nutmeg” colored material. Richlite is a natural paper-composite that holds up outdoors with no maintenance and has a warm natural feel and appearance. Richlite will show weathering over time but it will not require maintenance nor come apart. |
