Injection-mould
 Biopol®
A 100% biodegradable loose fill packing
which is made from foamed corn starch, a readily renewable resource.
This material provides a great alternative to polystyrene chips.

 Treeplast®
An injection mouldable bio-polymer made
from a blend of corn starch and natural cellulose extracted from wood
waste. It is lightweight and available in a variety of colours. Treeplast®
also possesses shock absorption properties similar to A.B.S. and therefore
has many potential design applications. 
 Expanded
Silicone Rubber Foam
Durable
self-skinning foam made from aerated silicone.
We have chosen this material for the collection based on its superior
durability to polyurethane foams, and its low toxicity during and
after production. There are many colour option and sheet sizes and
thicknesses vary.
Rubber
Embossed Matting
Recycled rubber matting made from ground
down car tyres. This material is available in a wide range of sheet
sizes and thicknesses. A small but interesting range of surface details
are available. This material was originally conceived as safety flooring
for within an industrial context, however the possible applications
could actually be far greater than this.
 Vulcanised
Rubber
A synthetic approach to the mass-production
of rubber parts. This rubber can be injection moulded to high tolerances
and is available in a wide range of colours. We chose to put this
material in the collection due to its great durability, as the failure
of low-performance rubber parts (such as washers and grommets) frequently
send otherwise fully-functional products to early graves.
 Thermoplastic
Composite
A thermosetting plastic which is blended
with recycled materials before injection moulding.
Recyclates that are currently dosed in include; newsprint, denim,
birch wood, coconut fibres, and bagasse.
 M.D.F.
A high quality, formaldehyde free M.D.F.,
available in a range of sheet sizes and thicknesses.
 M.D.F.
A high quality, formaldehyde free M.D.F.,
made using a high proportion of wood waste taken from both industrial
and domestic waste streams. Available in a wide range of sheet sizes
and thicknesses.
