TREEPLAST® news

  This product is made from fully renewable and biodegredable raw materials. Consisting of 50-70% wood chips, 20% ground corn and other natural resins, it has awood-like finish and is comparable to some types of manufactured wooden fibreboard. The material is versatile, can be manufactured in many different forms and is suitable for a wide range of applications, including those traditionally favoured by plastic and wood production techniques. It can be processed in traditional plastic-processing machines. Water resistance remains for several months, through biodegradability is achieved in a few hours if totally immersed in water, or days if composed in soil.

Today we received a copy of 'Thinking Green' Packaging prototypes 3 by Edward Denison & Guang Yu Ren (ISBN 2-88046-560-5). Ofcourse Treeplast example is in the book on page 76: Jewel packaging by KHZ.

On september 25th Treeplast was presented to the jury board (selection of 12 senior architects, designers and engineers) and was unanimously voted into the Materials Connection Library!

This Library based in New York City, is the world's only resource for new and innovative materials and processes. They provide architects, engineers, industrial designers and interiour designers with access to the latest and most exiting materials from industries typically unnoticed or difficult to reach by the design community.

The Treeplast handbook is available! For only Euro 95 you'll receive a 36 page handbook with an additional 16 pages examples. Order now: info@treeplast.com
