Profile
Morph® is an innovative 100% recycled and recyclable modular construction system which repurposes and reduces plastic waste, encourages long-term investment and supports the circular economy movement.
The idea evolved from concerns about damaging industry behaviours, particularly the throw-away culture in the commercial office furniture and fit-out sectors. Practices widely accepted as the norm, where functional furniture and dilapidations are prematurely discarded to landfill, are having a devastating and long-term impact on the environment and Morph Bricks Ltd wanted to find a solution.
Injection moulded using 100% post consumer recycled ABS plastic, Morph bricks consist of four core components – single brick, double brick, base and top. Lightweight and strong with a uniquely designed male to female connection, the bricks interlock in a staggered brick formation to create multiple designs including walls, desks, tables, video conferencing units, counters, tiered seating and meeting bays. Reusable, every product can be taken apart and rebuilt into a new design. Recyclable, end of life bricks can be recycled into new components without waste.
Complementing the recycled plastic range, we also manufacture Morph Bio bricks made from carbon negative Bio composite material.

Our expertise lies in creating innovative solutions that meet the demands of modern manufacturing while prioritising environmental stewardship. We seek to align every decision, every recommendation, and every design with our values: to extend re-use and recycling, reduce carbon emissions, and to work with absolute transparency.
This ethos is exemplified by our first own-brand product, the Bottld RVM. Designed as part of a ground-breaking recycling and re-use infrastructure, Bottld combines cutting-edge design with environmental responsibility, supporting progress towards a circular economy where plastics are collected, recycled, and reused effectively. It showcases how thoughtful engineering can create products that not only fulfil market needs but also address global challenges like plastic waste.
We bring the same level of care and innovation to every client project, ensuring each design supports efficient manufacturing processes and aligns with sustainability goals. Our approach is practical, authentic, and collaborative, fostering partnerships with like-minded businesses that value long-term impact over short-term gains.
At Convert Design, we are proud to work with companies that share our vision of reducing waste and emissions while building a future where plastic use is smarter and more sustainable. By developing products like Bottld and supporting customer projects with our technical expertise, we are making a meaningful contribution to the plastics industry and beyond.

The Lincolnshire Waste Partnership (LWP) aims to:
The Lincolnshire Waste Partnership (LWP) aims to:
- Provide innovative, customer-friendly waste management.
- Seek the best environmental options.
- Give value for money to Lincolnshire residents.
- National policy — In December 2018 the Government published its new national waste and resources strategy for England.
- Food waste — The national strategy proposes weekly food waste collections from 2023, in preparation they have been running a trial for food waste collections in South Kesteven to understand the challenges this may bring. They are seeking a sustainable and renewable solution which will be explored over the next few years.
- Plastics — Since the adoption of the Lincolnshire strategy, the world has seen a blaze of interest in plastic waste and how the recycling we collect is handled. Media investigations have challenged waste management practices and raised the profile of accountability and social responsibility.
- Waste crime — The Environment Agency (EA) has an open invitation to LWP meetings providing advice and guidance, the LWP also support the EA in waste crime operations in the county.
- Recycling quality — A separated paper and card collection trial in place from September 2019 with the aim of avoiding any contact with liquids and food, keeping it clean and dry, means they can meet high quality standards of the paper mills who recycle waste paper and card saving vital natural resources. The trial has been a great success and plans are underway to expand collections to more areas in Lincolnshire.
- The wider environment — Driving many miles to collect and dispose of waste increases the carbon footprint for their transport operations so they have worked to optimise routes and are investigating how, in the longer term, they can change to different vehicle fuels to reduce their CO2 emissions.
