We categorize a certain product eco-friendly accordingly. A certain product can be made of recycled items, used materials that are sustainably sourced, or are manufactured with zero carbon emission. The Kola chir by Mikko Laakkonen, a Finnish designer is an eco-friendly chair not because it uses recycled materials or manufactured with zero carbon emission, but because it is a recyclable piece of furniture. Being a recyclable item, adding garbage to our landfills will be minimized and hopefully soon will be totally eliminated. In addition, the chair looks elegant enough to be on homes with different interiors. However, I find the low backrest uncomfortable when seating in longer period.
