Press release: Niaga® installation at Salone del Mobile is beacon for circular economy.

Experience the infinity of materials – In the center of Isola Design District at this year’s Salone del Mobile, which runs from September 5 until 10, you will find Niaga’s beacon for a circular economy at STECCA 3. The installation, which takes the form of a mirror box, invites visitors to step inside and experience the wonder of infinity. But even more so, the bright orange box is there to remind people how we need to ensure infinity of materials to create a waste-free world, now more than ever.

Design to use again

Niaga® designs products that can be used again and again, by ensuring infinity of materials so they don’t end up in the trash. Ever. As part of the Cooloo Circular Canopy, many artists and designers have worked to design out waste. Together, they are part of the global movement that’s needed to move towards a circular economy. Join the movement, step into the mirror box and share your infinite self(ie) with #designtouseagain

Return is key

A recyclable product that isn’t returned won’t be recycled. That’s why enabling return is the cornerstone of a circular economy. Products returned for material reuse are safeguarding the valuable materials inside for future generations. With the scannable Niaga® tag, users can check what’s inside their product and return it when they’re done using it.

Check for yourself

Join the movement, step into the mirror box and share your infinite self(ie) with #designtouseagain
