GIVING PAPER A WHOLE NEW PURPOSE
Distinctly designed and hand-crafted, we transform recycled materials
WE BEGIN WITH RECYCLED PAPER
Office document waste is collected, sorted and shredded. This recycled waste paper is the base ingredient for our products.
THEN WE INDIVIDUALLY HAND-CAST
Our blended mash is hand-worked into individual molds, carefully removed and allowed to air-cure for 14-28 days.
NEXT WE MIX - GRIND - COMBINE
The shredded paper, water, concrete and commercial additives are combined to create a pliable pulp.
AND WE SHIP WITH CARE TO YOU
We are grateful for your support and want to make certain you are happy with your purchase. If not, we will make it right.
