Eindhoven, The Netherlands
Dutch designer Tim Teven has created a new line of furniture, tables and stools based on the concept of “recycling reject.”
A single paper recycling plant has to utilise up to 75 tons of waste fibres every week, which currently means putting into a landfill or burning it.
Recycling Reject demonstrates the possibility of using the non-recyclable fibres as a building material by pressing them into a hard solid.
The end result is a strong, stone-like material. This adds another product cycle to the raw material cellulose fibre.
The new material can be used to build several pieces of furniture, with a unique look and functional aesthetics.
