A new concept of Bidone: the philosophy of the Bidone project

AGAINST POLLUTION

The Bidone project was born from the desire to reduce the environmental repercussions resulting from industrial painting methods, bringing new value both to the environment and the collective.

THE BIDONE (TANK): A NEW LIFE, A NEW MEANING

These paint containers, as they were originally, presented a double-cost for companies: supply and disposal. Thanks to this project, the tanks are now elevated to design products.

FLEXIBILITY

The Bidone shows itself to be product which adapts to a range of uses and destinations while maintaining its contemporary esthetic and functionality under every circumstance.

SUSTAINABILITY

The paint drums normally used in the production cycle at Nordest Line srl get recycled, generating a reduction in polluting industrial waste containing residue of dangerous substances for 1,000 kg.

Thanks to the Bidone project, these steel containers are reused and lead to a direct saving of 1.900 kg of iron, 600 kg of carbon, and 1.790 kg of CO2 necessary to produce them*.

The paints used are clear of any substances identified by the European Agency as “very high concern” (SVHC). These are water-based paints as opposed to solvent-based, where water is the diluent. This solution reduces nearly all solvent emissions, therefore only releasing water vapor into the atmosphere.

THE PRODUCT

Bidone is a bespoke, colorful furniture element where esthetic and functionality come together in one contemporary and long-lasting solution thanks to the robustness of the materials used.

Dedicated to those who seek unconventional, ready-made furnishings without sacrificing the practicality of the essential and raw materials, all revisited and reinterpreted with eclectic style and creativity.
