BeGREEN Product
BeGREEN product is another creative, new innovation and first of its kind product made from office waste by FBTK Ventures Ltd. The office waste is made into various products like bean bag or cube, cushion or pillow, knee mat and so on. BeGREEN product can be used at home, garden, office, school, hospital, nursery, recreational or play area, party or anywhere such product is required.
FBTK is taking office waste and using it to make useful products before it goes to complete waste i.e. extracting extra benefit from the waste. This action is reducing environmental waste by prolonging the waste recycling process for the material used. The waste product used is 100% biodegradable, eco-friendly and sustainable material thus, BeGREEN product is helping to reduce the use of harmful styrofoam filling and other non-biodegradable materials conventionally used for making the aforementioned products.
Why BeGREEN Products?
Recycling & Waste Management
99% biodegradable waste product used to make the interior filling of BeGREEN products which is green, eco-friendly and sustainable. It address and replace the use of harmful styrofoam filling and other non-biodegradable material commonly used. The 1% is a combination of the exterior fabric/leather material and the bagging used to keep product cost low and affordable and also for disposing the waste but we are already working on the next BeGREEN product upgrade to make it completely 100% biodegradable.

Cost Benefit
The cost of BeGREEN products made from office waste can be very low cost because the material is readily available compared to other conventional bean bags filled with styrofoam beads or bean bags filled with plant based biofoam beads which is very expensive.
Business Opportunities
There are lots of foreseeable business opportunities with the office waste converted into BeGreen products such as selling products online like ebay, amazon, retail stores, supply directly to consumers, hire out the products for parties or events, use as packaging material for goods or as craft workshop lesson in schools to educate young ones about waste recycling and many more.
Durability & Comfort
The common materials used to make bean bags such as EPP, EPS and Micro beads, compressed foam or natural fillers like beans and office waste used to make BeGREEN products both disintegrate (collapse) over time after long period of use and will have to be replenished. The product is comfortable to use and serves the same purpose like other existing products.
