In a world where recycling and sustainability are becoming vital, it makes sense that you want to help the environment when buying products for your home. Recycled furniture is a great way to lead a more sustainable lifestyle, and these pieces are not only eco-friendly, but they’re incredibly stylish as well!
1. Folding Adirondack Chair
If you thought that recycled furniture wouldn’t hold up as well as regular furniture, you’ll be happy to be wrong. WIKIWIKI Adirondack Chair with its ergonomically designed backrest and two cup holders is highly durable; it’s made from recycled resin wood that will hold up for years with minimal fading.
You won’t have to worry about the material cracking and splintering either, as the chair is weather-resistant. WIKIWIKI is available in aruba blue, black, grey and white.
2. Eco- Friendly Home Office Desk
What if I told you that this desk is made from 95%-100% recycled materials? Well, it is! Furinno’s Econ Home Office Desk is an eco-friendly piece of home office furniture that you simply can’t do without.
It includes a generous work surface, keyboard tray, monitor stand, CPU shelf, and a cubby that fits a fabric storage drawer. It has everything you need for a complete office setup for an amazing price.
3. Recycled Plastic Side Table
This attractive side table will have you wondering why you’ve never tried recycled furniture before. LuXeo’s Corona Side Table is also made from a poly-lumber and plastic blend that requires zero weather-proofing, so it’s ready to go when you are.
It can even be left out during the winter with no damage to the coloring or its structural integrity. Corona is available in a variety of neutral and bold colors.
4. Recycled Wood Planter
Spring is here, so it’s time to get gardening! Make your garden that much more sustainable this year by using this Recycled Wood Planter from Amazon Basics. It’s quite roomy, but the really neat feature is that it’s made from recycled pine (no plastic waste involved!).
It also features a powder-coated steel frame and legs, giving it extra sturdiness. The planter comes with a liner to keep soil neatly packed inside with no leaks or messes.
5. Cardboard Foldable ItBed
Even mattress companies are getting in on smart cardboard furniture. The ItBed may look like just an accordion of cardboard, but it’s actually a functional bed that folds up for easy transport. Its design lends itself to either a guest bed or a year-round sleeper.
Those who find themselves changing homes more often will benefit from the simplicity of the ItBed. Instead of trudging up stairs with a large heavy frame, you can move lightly and set up your bed in a matter of minutes.
6. MY SWANKY HOME Recycled Wood Bench
Recycled furniture has really stepped up its game with this piece from MY SWANKY HOME. Their Recycled Wood Bench is the perfect minimalist addition to your rustic farmhouse decor.
Every bench is handcrafted and measures around four feet long, and there’s plenty of space underneath the open frame for shoes. Since it measures at the standard 18″ height, you can also use this entryway bench as a dining bench at your farmhouse table.
7. Recycled boat wood Side Table
Who knew that recycled boat wood could be so beautiful? This unique WELLAND Side Table has a hodge podge appearance with mixed wood colors that really catches the eye, making it a unique addition to your living room.
The process WELLAND uses to make these tables, which come in a variety of styles, is so careful in its crafting that it’s hard to believe the table is under $80.
8. Eco Stackable Storage Cubes
A quick glance might make you think this is just an ordinary storage cube, but Way Basics has designed something more than that. This eco-friendly stackable cube is made from recycled paperboard to promote a more sustainable storage solution.
Its non-toxic materials also ensure a healthier consumer. The stackable storage cube stands at 12 inches high and can be purchased in four different color options.
9. Recycled lumber Side Table
Yet another excellent side table composed of poly-lumber and recycled plastic comes from POLYWOOD, using their own particular brand of HDPE recycled lumber.
Much like the Corona table from LuXeo, the Long Island Side Table‘s brushed gray wood look and sturdy build make it great as outdoor furniture. It’s even resistant to fungi, as well as being waterproof with non-fading color. Even the hardware is ultra-durable thanks to the stainless steel hardware.
10. Recycled Extending Table
Thin-K, designed for Kristalia, is a collection of extending tables with an extremely thin top. The designer Luciano Bertoncini has taken the environment into account: the table is made of 100% recyclable materials. The lengt, when extended, is up to almost 3 metres.
11. Recycled Plastic Stackable Stool
The Butter Stool is one of the most earth-friendly stools I’ve seen so far. Recyclable materials are becoming more popular in modern design (you may have heard about Emma Watson’s recycled dress). This has led to the creation of the Butter Stool, which is made from 80% recycled plastic.
Despite its look, it’s actually a single piece folded at different angles, creating an incredibly sturdy UV stable and waterproof piece that lasts longer than traditional design.
12. Recycled Bottles 4-in-1 Convertible Crib
Children’s furniture made from recycled materials? Yes, please! Around 300 recycled bottles are used in the making of this fiber core Convertible Crib from Delta Children.
Not only will this crib last your child through most of their younger years, but you’re also doing good for the environment instead of tossing out non-recyclable materials when the crib can no longer be used. The mattress even has a waterproof and stain-resistant cover.
13. wood and cardboard Modular Cat Tree
While most cat trees look like tacky carpet-covered towers, Katris brings elegance back to the pet industry. This environmentally-friendly, modular cat tree lets your cat have their playtime while adding elegance and refinement to your home.
Katris comes in a variety of color options to blend right in with your other furniture, so you never have to worry about it looking tacky. It also doubles as a cat scratcher!
14. Zigzag Wine and Bottle Rack
The elements of Zigzag Bottle Rack are made of the tough and durable material syntrewood, a mixture of recycled thermoplastic plastics and paper by-products.
You can simply stack the elements on top of one another without tools or connectors. Available in sets of 3 (= for 12 bottles) from Manufactum.
