Wehlers & The Ocean Clean Up solution
From Ocean Waste to Iconic Design
The story of the R.U.M.-chair: a journey of hope, innovation, and a commitment to a cleaner ocean.
A Vision of Circularity
At Wehlers, our mission is to redefine what's possible with waste. Our partnership with **The Ocean Cleanup** transforms discarded plastic from our oceans into a valuable resource, creating the beautiful and sustainable R.U.M.-chair. This is more than a product; it's a testament to the power of a **full circular economy**.
Follow the journey of this remarkable material as it is rescued from the sea and reborn into a piece of design history.
Step 1: Rescue from the Ocean
Our journey begins with The Ocean Cleanup's advanced technology, which intercepts plastic waste in rivers and the ocean. The collected plastic is a mix of discarded bottles, bags, and other debris, all destined for a new life.
Step 2: Processing the Material
Once on land, the plastic is meticulously sorted, cleaned, and shredded into flakes. These flakes are then transformed into high-quality pellets, the raw material for our chairs. This process ensures the material is pure and ready for a new life.
Step 3: Crafting the Chair
The recycled plastic pellets are then heated and injected into a mold, giving the R.U.M.-chair its iconic shape. This manufacturing method minimizes waste, as any excess material can be fed back into the process to be used again.
Step 4: The Final Product
After cooling and assembly, the chair is carefully inspected to ensure it meets our high standards of quality and durability. What was once waste is now a functional and beautiful piece of furniture ready for a new home.
