Sustainability and aesthetics are two things that don’t usually go hand in hand. That’s not the case for Pentatonic – a start-up that uses innovative thinking to invent new materials using the world’s most abundant and dangerous resource – human trash – without compromising an inch of design, performance or function. The company takes waste items such as plastic bottles, food, packaging, and electronic devices and transforms them into chairs, tables, glassware, and other pieces of furniture. What’s even cooler, the startup lets you customize your own piece from the comfort of your home. The start-up’s state-of-the-art approach to repurposing consumer trash sets a remarkable case for possible solutions to mitigate the growing waste problem that’s plaguing our planet’s ecosystems.
