# Eco Greenbag Chairs The PP Capsule is Manufactured from 100% Recycled Materials, Inside and Out By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-11-01 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pp-capsule References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/10/31/forget-beanbag-meet-the-greenbag/) & [kacama.hk](http://www.kacama.hk/) You're likely familiar with the type of chair that consists of an outer upholstery and an inside stuffed with beans, beads or bits of foam; well, the PP Capsule is made this way too, except that it boasts far more eco-friendly manufacturing than the vast majority of furnishings you'll find in the average home. The KaCaMa Design Lab grinds up 4,000 [plastic bottle caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bultan-chair) that are discarded from disposal facilities and uses them as one would use [beans in a beanbag chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transparent-bean-bag). The pieces are turned into small enough slivers that the overall effect is that of a light and cushiony feel for the sitter. The PP Capsule stool is sealed up by [environmentally responsible polyester material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/re-up-side-tables) that's fabricated from post-consumer PET bottles in assorted bright colors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Eco-friendly Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to explore sustainable manufacturing methods using recycled materials. - **Upcycling:** Opportunity for businesses to repurpose discarded materials, such as plastic bottle caps, into new and functional products. - **Sustainable Furniture:** Innovative chance for furniture industry to create environmentally friendly seating options that are both stylish and eco-conscious. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Opportunity for furniture manufacturers to incorporate recycled materials like plastic bottle caps into their product lines. - **Sustainable Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for designers to create sustainable products that reduce waste and promote environmentally responsible practices. - **Recycling Industry:** Opportunity for recycling facilities to collaborate with furniture manufacturers to upcycle discarded materials into new and functional products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Modern Bathroom Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marco-carini.md) - [Textured Recycled Plastic Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiber-chair-family.md) - [Recycled Mid-Century Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eames-shell-chairs.md) - [Chic Recycled Material Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vale-furniture-collection.md) - [Sustainably Made Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixu-chair.md) - [Sustainably Minded Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conscious-chair.md) - [Collapsible Recycled Bottle Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-folding-stool.md) - [Eco-Friendly Lounge Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recyclable-lounge-chair.md) - [Eco-Friendly Pouf Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rio-pouffe.md)
