From injection-molded shells to synthetic fabrics, plastic finds its way into even the most design-forward pieces. Recycling has long been positioned as the answer, but the numbers don\u2019t hold up. Only 19% of plastic produced globally actually gets recycled, and incineration, a practice that releases pollutants into the air, has surged 34% recently.<\/p>\n<p>Matthew Whatley came to this problem not as a materials scientist, but as a furniture designer who\u2019d spent a decade with his hands in the work. After years of carpentry and concrete formwork, he studied product design in Vancouver and Melbourne, and a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> through Southeast Asia, where plastic waste is impossible to ignore, pushed him toward a specific question: what if furniture didn\u2019t need plastic?<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/whatleydesigns.framer.website\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Matthew Whatley<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/novum-chair-06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-621794\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/04\/27\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Recycled Plastic Is 10x More Toxic, and This Chair Contains None\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/novum-chair-06.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/novum-chair-06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-621794\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/04\/27\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Recycled Plastic Is 10x More Toxic, and This Chair Contains None\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/novum-chair-06.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"33e255590aeba43f63b203b0-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ad-1 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"33e255590aeba43f63b203b0-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/novum-chair-07.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-621795\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/04\/27\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Recycled Plastic Is 10x More Toxic, and This Chair Contains None\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/novum-chair-07.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/novum-chair-07.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-621795\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/04\/27\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Recycled Plastic Is 10x More Toxic, and This Chair Contains None\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/novum-chair-07.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The Novum Chair is his answer, built from a combination of natural woven fiber and bio-based resin. The two materials form a composite: the fiber provides structure and texture, while the resin binds and hardens it into a rigid, load-bearing shell. It\u2019s a relatively simple idea on paper, but getting it to actually hold a person\u2019s weight required significant hands-on material testing.<\/p>\n<p>The result is a chair that doesn\u2019t look like it\u2019s making a statement about sustainability; it just looks good. Its form is a single, continuous shell that sweeps from the backrest down through the seat and curls beneath to cradle the sitter. The woven surface is visible through the resin coating, giving it a warm, textile-like quality that reads more like craft than manufacturing.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/novum-chair-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-621796\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/04\/27\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Recycled Plastic Is 10x More Toxic, and This Chair Contains None\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/novum-chair-02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/novum-chair-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-621796\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/04\/27\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Recycled Plastic Is 10x More Toxic, and This Chair Contains None\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/novum-chair-02.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"33e255590aeba43f63b203b0-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ads-2 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"33e255590aeba43f63b203b0-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/novum-chair-05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-621797\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/04\/27\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Recycled Plastic Is 10x More Toxic, and This Chair Contains None\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/novum-chair-05.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/novum-chair-05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-621797\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/04\/27\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Recycled Plastic Is 10x More Toxic, and This Chair Contains None\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/novum-chair-05.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s something refreshing about a chair you could put in a design studio, a cafe, or a considered living space without it demanding attention. The Novum Chair has the kind of understated confidence that lets the material do the talking. The texture and warm amber of the resin-soaked fiber give it a character that shifts with the light, something molded plastic never manages.<\/p>\n<p>Part of what makes this <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach worth taking seriously is that it sidesteps one of the more uncomfortable truths about recycled plastics. Re-rendered recycled plastic isn\u2019t the clean solution it\u2019s often portrayed as; it can be roughly 10 times more toxic than the original material. Natural fibers and bio-based resins don\u2019t carry that baggage, which makes this composite a genuinely different starting point.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/novum-chair-04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-621798\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/04\/27\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Recycled Plastic Is 10x More Toxic, and This Chair Contains None\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/novum-chair-04.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/novum-chair-04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-621798\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/04\/27\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Recycled Plastic Is 10x More Toxic, and This Chair Contains None\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/04\/recycled-plastic-is-10x-more-toxic-and-this-chair-contains-none\/novum-chair-04.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Whatley is candid about the fact that bio-based resins aren\u2019t perfect yet. They\u2019re relatively expensive, not high enough in bio content, and not yet as accessible as conventional materials. But the Novum Chair isn\u2019t presented as a finished product so much as a proof of concept that structurally sound, beautiful furniture can be built around materials that don\u2019t depend on plastic.<\/p>\n<p>What Whatley has done is take a material problem that feels overwhelming in scale and distill it into something you can sit in. That\u2019s no small thing. The conversation around plastic alternatives tends to stay abstract, caught up in policy and data.
