Project Overview
Following the success of the K-Days Pop-Upsicles project, [Re] Waste identified a growing demand for recycled plastic furniture in retail spaces. Many businesses with strong ESG commitments were seeking sustainable store displays, shelving, and tables, but had limited options beyond generic “grey” recycled materials that didn’t align with their brand aesthetics.
To bridge this gap, [Re] Waste and Onetwosix Design developed a design catalog, helping businesses visualize how recycled plastic furniture can be both functional and visually striking in retail environments.

The Challenge
Retail businesses increasingly want to incorporate sustainable materials into their spaces, but available options often lack design flexibility and aesthetic appeal.
Key challenges included:
- Limited Design Options – Most recycled materials available to retailers were dull, grey, and industrial-looking, making them less appealing for brand-focused spaces.
- Lack of Awareness – Many businesses weren’t aware that recycled plastic could be vibrant, durable, and custom-designed.
- Bridging Sustainability & Aesthetics – Retailers wanted sustainable furniture that also enhanced their store design, rather than being a compromise.
Our Solution
Leveraging the experience from the Popsicle Benches at K-Days, we demonstrated that recycled plastic furniture could be:
✔ Vibrant & Customizable – Bright colors and unique textures tailored to match brand aesthetics.
✔ Functional & Durable – Strong enough for high-traffic retail environments, including shelving, tables, and display systems.
✔ Circular Economy in Action – Made from recycled plastic, showcasing sustainability in a visible, tangible way.
Implementation & Process
- Developed a retail-focused brochure to help businesses envision recycled furniture in their stores.
- Created modular retail display systems, including:
✔ Stackable Cube Displays – Perfect for pop-up shops & product showcases.
✔ Curved Shelving & Racks – Seamlessly integrating sustainability & modern design.
✔ Custom Fixtures & Signage – Bringing eco-conscious branding to life. - Worked with businesses focused on ESG goals to integrate these sustainable furniture pieces into their stores.
The Results & Environmental Impact
✔ Expanded the application of recycled plastics into commercial and retail settings.
✔ Provided businesses with a sustainable alternative to traditional retail furniture.
✔ Helped retailers enhance their ESG commitments while maintaining high-end design.
