Neonest — a new start-up venture from the Kortrijk, Belgium-based Revor Group — launched what it calls “the world’s first fully circular bed frame” made entirely from post-consumer plastic waste at Interzum Cologne 2025 this past May.
For decades, most furniture has been produced using traditional raw materials like wood and metal through processes that make recycling difficult or impossible. According to a news release, Neonest resolves the environmental impact of this waste of natural resources by rethinking the entire design and material process from the ground up. No virgin raw materials are used — instead, Neonest is produced from discarded bottle caps, food containers, garden furniture and car bumpers.



The result is a lightweight, durable, modular mono-material bed frame made from post-consumer waste and designed for circularity. According to the company, once a Neonest frame is produced, it never leaves the product lifecycle — it can be reused, refurbished or recycled into new frames without the need for new raw materials.
“Furniture shouldn’t be landfill-bound after a few years of use. We designed Neonest to be modular, easy to assemble and dismantle and recyclable, making it fully circular. We’re not just making bed bases, we’re building the future of furniture,” said Ilias Addarkaoui, general manager of Neonest. “We’re turning waste into long-term value.”
The highly versatile Neonest frame can be used as a slatted bed base, a standalone bed, a boxspring base, or an upright headboard. Its patented design features include Neocord — a built-in groove-and-cord system that enables modular upholstery and allows materials to be easily separated and recycled at end-of-life; Neohold — an integrated click-in mechanism that lets the frame function as a vertical headboard; and Neoconnect — a tool-free connection system that joins two singles into a double bed or reconfigures into a corner sofa or outdoor bench.
Company officials said Neonest is designed and produced in Belgium from renewable energy, which keeps its carbon footprint low. The breathable, stackable frame is made from 100% post-consumer recycled polypropylene, which is antibacterial and resistant to mold, moisture and wear. Its lightweight design makes it easy to assemble and handle while also reducing transportation emissions and production costs for bedding manufacturers.
Neonest is also fully aligned with EU 2025 sustainability directives and eliminates the need for complex ESG reporting requirements tied to wood traceability, including the Forest Stewardship Council and European Union Timber Regulation, the news release said.
