KI Launches Sebel: A 100% Post-Consumer Waste Chair Setting New Standards in Sustainable Seating

Already pioneers in sustainable plastics, KI’s newest launch Sebel, is manufactured entirely from post-consumer waste as part of their ongoing commitment to sustainability. No industrial cut-offs, colourants or additives, Sebel is made up of household waste, with each chair preventing 4.5kg of waste plastic from going to landfill.

With the chair being made from 100% post-consumer waste, it means there is no colourant added. Unlike most chairs that incorporate a colour masterbatch (typically 3% of a chair’s weight and not a recycled material), Sebel avoids this addition ensuring that the entire chair is made from 100% post-consumer waste. As a result of this, Sebel comes in a colour KI call Grey-dient, meaning each chair varies slightly in shade, with subtle differences in grey tones reflecting the nature of the recycled material.

As well as it’s sustainability accolades, Sebel is ergonomically designed to support natural posture and meet the demands of everyday use in learning environments, with durable polypropylene legs built to withstand impact, wear and support up to 220kg. The waterfall seat edge and curved back rest increase flexibility which in turn aid better lumbar support, with a built-in window to provide ventilation.

Maintenance is kept simple for Sebel users, it is lightweight, antistatic, stain resistant and made using a one-piece injection moulding with no finger traps, loose parts or gaps. Storage within the classroom is easy, using the integrated handle for easy lifting, Sebel only weighs 4.5kg and can be stacked up to 12 high with an optional trolly for maneuverability.

Sebel’s extensive warranty of 25 years enforces the products strength and durability which is also supported by testing to BS1729, making Sebel set to be the next solution for sustainable education seating.
