Recycling rates for plastics are shockingly as low as 9 per cent. It’s a statistic that Montreal homewares brand Cyrc is trying to change. Embracing a circular ethos, its 3D-printed vases, bowls and lighting are made to order from post-industrial food packaging waste, meaning the brand produces only what it needs. The durable products are designed to withstand the test of time, but if customers’ tastes change, they can ship their wares back to Cyrc free of charge, where they can be melted down and extruded into new designs.

Offered in seven new hues, recent launches include Solstice, an elevated fruit bowl whose height not only brings a focal point to any tablescape but also allows air circulation to keep produce fresh. Meanwhile, the Willow and Reed planters, part of the brand’s Wicker collection, are imbued with an intricate texture created through a weaving motion when printing.
