REUSE. RECYCLE. REPURPOSE.
Sustainability taken Seriously
The BOX Seat manufacturing is processing and granulating PCR (Post Consumer Recycled) materials. Selected models from The BOX Seat are already available in ‘Next-Life-Plastic’ with up to 75% of recycled material. More so, The BOX Seat aims for the ultimate Cradle-to-Grave material management, and offers a complete circular solution based on the collection and reuse or recycle of old seats at the end of their life time.
908 Polymer Recycled
The BOX Seat 908 model is available now,
produced with 70% recycled materials.
908 Padded Recycled
The BOX Seat 908 Padded is available now,
produced with 75% recycled materials.
Next Life Solution
Plastic pollution is a pressing global issue, and The BOX Seat believes that recycling is a powerful solution. Through cutting-edge technology, we breathe new life into PCR material instead of solely using virgin materials. Beyond that, the manufacturing facility of The BOX Seat offers the ultimate Cradle-to-Grave solution: granulation of end-of-life seats into new compound. By doing so, we not only reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste but also conserve valuable resources.
Reusable plastics.
100% Renewable Energy
To reduce carbon-footprint, The BOX Seat works towards lower energy consumption on a daily basis, including energy-saving production processes and use of renewable energy sources for injection moulding processes. To meet these power needs, a dedicated set of 3000 solar panels is placed on the roof of the production facility.
Power from the sun.
Life-Cycle engineering
The seats of The BOX Seat are life cycle engineered, incorporating ‘design for deconstruction’ put in place 20 years ago under our ‘environmental building block’ program, today we can disassemble the 908 model seats and reconfigure them into new seats, or recycle the separated parts appropriately.
Repurpose taken seriously.
“Steel is 8x more energy efficient per kg to produce than aluminium.
Steel over aluminium
The Box Seat recommends steel rather than aluminium for the rail system, with good reason. Steel is 8 times more energy efficient per kg than aluminium in its production, because the production process of aluminium is much more complicated, plus steel is 100% recyclable and can be reused indefinitely. As an additional benefit steel rails only need supporting every 3 or 4 seat positions equating to at least 25% less fixing and bolting points.
Materials matter.
Smart logistics
The BOX Seat models are compact and light, purposely to save on materials and for efficiency in transportation, where a 40ft container will fit 1600 seats, saving fuel whilst minimising delivery time of the goods, more seats per container equals more seats onsite faster. We also focus on resourcing localised material and suppliers, such as proving the rails from local steel, sharp on every mile.
Lean to the limit.
