Introducing... the office chair!
Most likely you are sitting in it right now!
Do you notice anything interesting?
Made in...
Quite possibly it was made in China, or Italy, or UK. But where did all the materials came from? Let's take a closer look!
Raw materials
The basic materials such as:
• plastic
• metal
• leather
...all came from different countries around the globe!
Plastic
Before plastic chair parts were moulded in China or Malaysia, it all came from the oil, which was shipped from different parts of the globe!
Metal
Iron ore would normally come from Australia and shipped to China.
Upholstery
Leather most likely came from Argentina or India and shipped to Germany, Italy and UK.
Remember...
...90% of all the stuff around you was made from raw materials, which had to be shipped at one stage or another!
