HUMANSCALE HIGHLIGHTS ITS AWARD-WINNING CHAIRS THAT HELP CLEAN OUR OCEANS DURING PLASTIC FREE JULY
Humanscale the leading manufacturer of ergonomic products is a certified B Corporation recognised for its planet positive manufacturing leaving the world better off, one product at a time. In support of Plastic Free July, it is showcasing its range of Ocean chairs: the Smart Ocean, Liberty Ocean, and Path chairs all made with reclaimed ocean plastic.
From its inception in Australia in 2011, Plastic Free July has grown into a worldwide call to action. More than 140 million people across 190 countries now take part each year, cutting out disposable plastics at home, work, and on the go. But plastic pollution isn’ t just about shopping bags and water bottles— it’ s also about the everyday products we bring into our lives, from tech gadgets to furniture.
By 2050, there could be more plastic than fish in our oceans, a fact that drives Humanscale’ s mission to reverse environmental damage through innovative design. As the first-ever chair made from reclaimed ocean plastic, the Smart Ocean marked a groundbreaking step in sustainable furniture. Humanscale’ s expanding Ocean collection continues that legacy, incorporating discarded fishing nets— widely considered the most harmful type of ocean plastic due to their long-lasting impact on marine ecosystems – into their chairs.
Smart Ocean is designed for the future as much as the present. It goes beyond sustainability- incorporating 0.9 kilograms of reclaimed fishing nets, making this an ergonomic task chair that feels good, looks good and does good( for all). Beyond removing harmful plastic
