The Wehlers R.U.M. Chair: A Revolutionary Solution for a Low Carbon Footprint and Full Circular Economy

The Wehlers R.U.M. chair is a groundbreaking product built on the principles of a full circular economy, reflecting a commitment to sustainability, resource conservation, and environmental responsibility. At Wehlers, we actively collect furniture that is no longer in use, creating a FULL circular Economy system that minimizes waste and maximizes resource efficiency.

Did you know that over 40 million tons of furniture are discarded globally each year, contributing significantly to landfill overflow, environmental pollution, and unnecessary carbon emissions? The Wehlers R.U.M. chair offers an innovative alternative to traditional furniture manufacturing—designed to reduce waste, preserve precious resources, and minimize the carbon footprint associated with producing new furniture.

This eco-friendly chair is made from only two recycled materials, championing the ideals of sustainability and circularity. The materials used in R.U.M. include Fisherman’s Green (recycled fishing nets), Keyboard Black (recycled e-waste such as old keyboards), and Pharma Blue (recycled injection pens). These materials exemplify how industrial waste streams can be transformed into high-quality, durable furniture, contributing to a fully circular life cycle for each product.

The R.U.M. concept stands for ReUsed Materials, emphasizing the importance of reusing and recycling to create a sustainable, low-impact furniture solution. This design not only reduces the need for virgin resource extraction but also significantly lowers greenhouse gas emissions associated with traditional furniture production.

By choosing the Wehlers R.U.M. chair, consumers and businesses are making a conscious decision to support a greener, more sustainable future. This innovative approach is changing the furniture industry—from linear, wasteful practices to one rooted in circularity, resource preservation, and environmental stewardship.

Join us in redefining the way furniture is made, used, and recycled. The Wehlers R.U.M. chair is more than just a seat—it's a movement towards a low-carbon footprint and a fully circular economy that benefits the planet today and for generations to come.
