Bemis Molds Chair Out of 111 Recycled Coke Bottles

摘要

The newest incarnation of the 66-year-old Navy Chair has been converted from aluminum to recycled PET with the aid of gas-assist injection molding Bemis Manufacturing Co., Sheboygan Falls, Wis. Born out of a World War project for the U.S. Navy, the original metal Navy Chair from Emeco, Hanover, Pa., has sold more than a million units. After four years in development, Emeco launched the 111 Navy Chair in April in cooperation with The Coca-Cola Co., Bemis, toolmaker Delta Mold Inc., Charlotte, N.C., and BASF Corp., Engineering Piastres, Wyandotte, Mich.
