What do you say we recycle paper and turn it into a textile ! How about mixing recycled paper with polyester and polyethylene to make it softer and more malleable ?
When I received the samples, I did not expect that there would be other materials, in addition to recycled paper. But I asked the supplier who explained to me that the materials added to the recycled paper add a real plus to the product (softness, flexibility and resistance). This makes it possible to create bags ans sneakers. Not Bad Right?
Here are examples of bags and shoes made with recycled paper. It is also possible to make clothes. This material has the same physical and mechanical characteristics as leather, it is also completely waterproof.
