Green recycled PET plastic.

The 111 Navy Chair is the first ever chair made from recycled bottles. Each chair is made from at around 170 plastic bottles. Made in the USA and built to stand up to tough use. Suitable for indoor or outdoor use.

It is based on the Emeco 1006 chair originally built for Navy warships during World War II.
In 2006, Coca-Cola sought a means to keep their plastic bottles out of landfills, and sought product applications via manufacturing partnerships. They approached chair manufacturer Emeco, best known for manufacturing chairs from aluminium.

Emeco’s engineering team worked for 4 years to create a material made of recycled PET plastic that is made into pellets. Those pellets are mixed with glass fibre and colour pigment. Each chair starts out as six kilograms of plastic pellets that are melted down and then injection-moulded into the shape of the 1006 Navy Chair. Craftsmen add the H brace to make the chair sturdier and they smooth out any imperfections that result from injection moulding.

Each 111 Navy Chair is made of at least 111 recycled PET plastic bottles – 65% post-consumer PET – with 35% glass fibre and pigment; this gives the chair its name. It is structurally strong, fire retardant and cleanable.

As of late 2016, over 22 million plastic bottles have been kept out of the landfill and made into 111 Navy Chairs. Emeco CEO Gregg Buchbinder said in an interview with Forbes magazine "We’ve turned something many people throw away into something you want and can keep for a long, long time."
