PP capsule
PP Capsule - a reborn of PP plastic cap into a flexible beanbag chair for living rooms. With the great craftsmanship supported by local seamstresses, one PP Capsule up-cycling 4,000 plastic caps, wrapping them in eco-friendly fabrics and turning it into a common furniture with care and love to the community and our environment.
Material Information:
[Filling] Bottle caps are removed and discarded prior to the recycling of plastic or glass bottles and most refuse companies require you to remove the bottle cap before putting the bottle in your recycling box.
[Fabric] This recycled polymer (from INNOVASA) cover used post-consumer PET bottles and post industrial waste which requires less energy to produce than virgin polyester. While recycled poly is not the answer to cradle-to-cradle outerwear-yet, it is the most sustainable fibre that exists in the outerwear industry today.
Recycled Bottle caps form:
Yan Oi Tong, a socially oriented non-governmental organization, is supported by the Environment and Conservation Fund (ECF) to manage and operate the EcoPark Plastic Resource Recycling Centre.

PP Capsule 是一款利用打碎塑膠樽蓋作填充物的新款家具。 每一個 PP Capsule採用了多達4000個經回收的塑膠樽蓋 ,配合環保布料，及本地車衣手藝，讓毫不起眼的塑膠樽蓋， 轉變成一款特色家具，為廢棄膠蓋賦予一個全新的價值。
物料資料:
[填補物] 垃圾回收公司回收水樽和酒樽時聚丙烯水樽蓋普遍會被要求拆除和丟棄,相比塑料水樽瓶身較難被重用。
[布料] INNOVASA 這種再生聚合物是由回收的PET膠樽和後期工業廢料所生產出來的,並相比原生聚合物需要較少的能源生產。雖然再生聚合物仍無法做到cradle-to-cradle的原則，但仍是市場上最環保和最可持續發展的布料纖維之一。
物料供應 :
仁愛堂作為一個社福機構,透過環境及自然保育基金的公開甄選程序,被揀選管理和營運環保園塑膠資源再生中心。中心旨在為廢物源頭分類計劃所回收的廢塑膠提供合乎環保原則的出路，把廢塑膠回收並轉化為可銷售的高增值再生物料,減輕堆填區的負荷。中心會將收集到的廢膠分揀,清洗,加工處理成塑料膠片或膠粒,然後透過公開招標售回現存市場業界，用以製造有用的產品。
