The Blue Finn chair is a highly stackable, multifunctional chair with a plastic seat and back made from at least 85% recycled blue wrap (wrappers for keeping medical instruments sterile).
Sustainable Solutions – Blue Finn
The below video explains how we use bluewrap from hospitals for new chairs.
The raw material
Bluewrap is entirely made of polypropylene, so-called meltblown and spunbond homopolypropylene. Bluewrap does not look like plastic but rather like a fibrous material. Nevertheless, polypropylene is easy to recycle. But it does require a different recycling process than, for example, the recycling of PET bottles. Bluewrap is used once, discarded and then collected in cooperation with a waste collection company.
Creating value
Every year, thousands of kilos of bluewrap are thrown away. What a waste! That is exactly what hospitals think and it is also what we think! Together with Bywyd and our other chain partners, we have been working on a solution for the recycling of this waste material.
Hospitals LUMC and Meander – together with the Green OR and waste processor PreZero – have been involved in the process from the start. Injection-moulding company Timmerije is making the new parts for the chair.
