Image: Emeco. ERPR score = 6 (poor). Although made from recycled PET significant quantities of fibreglass are added to the material, negatively impacting the end-of-life prospects for the chair. The chair can be recycled but only when returned to the manufacturer (not realistic for most users). The chair cannot be stacked to improve transport efficiency. The recycled PET has been refined to almost match the finish of virgin PET. Available in a range of seven bright colours but only one configuration of the design is available.
