- More than 40 B Lab Corps came together last week to talk about business, collaboration and what becomes possible when companies see potential in each other at TheMerode Our co-founder Joris Vanbriel shared the story of our collaboration with Mustela, two brands from completely different worlds that found a shared value: that recycling alone is not enough. Engaging and empowering customers to become changemakers is what makes the difference. Empty Mustela bottles, collected in pharmacies across Belgium, were transformed into
- The Charlie Chair was selected for the Intramuros magazine at SHOPPE OBJECT Paris, presented as part of the magazine's Second Life exhibition dedicated to upcycling and the age of the second material. To be chosen by the Intramuros editorial team, alongside designers featured in their September issue, is something we're genuinely proud of. The Charlie Chair began as a question about what happens to plastic toys when children grow out of them. Seeing it recognised in this context, as part of a broader cultural conversation
- À hauteur d'enfant. At children's height. ecoBirdy is featured in Intramuros magazine issue 229, dedicated to Second Life and the age of the second material. A four-page design story on the studio, the process behind Ecothylene®, and why form still has to follow function.

- Most sustainability consultancy tells you what to do. We show you what it looks like when it's done. ecoBirdy started as a research project. That origin matters, because it means our knowledge runs deep, across plastics and non-plastics, bio-based materials and organic alternatives, production technologies and material science. We stay close to what's latest, because that's where the most interesting solutions are found. That combination of knowledge is what allows us to look at your waste stream and suggest real, tested
- When Contactlens Centre came to us, they had a material and no idea what to do with it. We tested it, designed around it and turned it into something concrete and beautiful. 5,825 contact lens blister cases later, they had a limited edition table that told the whole story of where it came from. They're not alone. Over the years we've been challenged to turn: - Soothers into bathroom accessories. - Footballs into wall panels. - Payment cards into record players. - Discarded toys into kids' playrooms. - Fashion store waste into total
- Your company produces waste. Most companies do. The question is what happens to it next. At ecoBirdy, we work with brands and businesses to turn waste streams into valuable, limited-edition products, circular campaigns, interior fixtures, as well as offering consultancy sessions that help companies to know their material better and figure out where to start. We've done it with Mustela, Quut Toys and the Contactlens Centre. And many more. If you have a waste stream and want to explore the possibilities, we'd love to hear from you.
