Soy Polymer
At first glance you would be forgiven for thinking this is (a petrochemical) plastic. It also behaves similarly to plastic and the manufacturers are currently investigating the potential to vacuum form this range of bio-polymers. There are numerous advantages that this material has over conventional plastics. It comes from a renewable resource, can be processed at lower temperatures, toxin free production and of course its 100% biodegradable. The only downside may be related to durability.


Rubber Sheet
Made from 100% recycled wellington boots. This material is available in a wide range of sheet sizes and thicknesses, however its always intensely colourful and bright due to the random coloration of the wellies.

A range of recycled Polythene sheets available in different thicknesses, colourways and sheet sizes. The sheets are manufactured using 100% recycled polythene. It is available in a clear sheet and has quite a high degree of flexibility when used as a thin sheet.
