UK-based sustainable design studio Weez & Merl uses recycled plastic to create a range of reusable houseware products like coasters and tabletops. From the coastal city of Brighton and Hove, the designers were driven toward sustainability by the discouraging amount of plastic bags on the beach. The result is a design company that works with local businesses to collect and repurpose plastic waste into practical products. Weez & Merl use low-density polyethylene for smaller products like coasters and medium-density polyethylene for sturdier projects like tabletops. These materials are handworked and enhanced with marbling techniques that offer the finished products a set of signature swirling patterns in a collection of complementary colors. Weez & Merl offer coasters, trays, plates, platters, and boards on its online store.

K-beauty brand, Kolmar Korea, incorporates sustainable products into its company with an eco-friendly packaging design. With K-beauty on the rise, Kolmar Korea stands out globally with its paper packaging for cosmetic products. The sustainable technology, dubbed Paper Tube, is made with a reinforced waterproof layer of coated paper, which prevents the packaging from getting soggy. This has been the main reason that beauty companies shy away from paper containers. Kolmar Korea, however, has invested in the coated technology, which can also withstand the weight of up to 50 kilograms (110 pounds).
