Willowpaste
Material biodegradable para impresión 3D a partir de residuos de madera
Willowprint ofrece sillas ecológicas diseñadas algorítmicamente con nuestro exclusivo material Willowpaste. Adecuadas para consumidores, diseñadores y empresas concienciados con el medio ambiente, nuestras sillas se imprimen en 3D con harina de madera procedente de residuos industriales, lo que las hace totalmente reciclables y biodegradables. Este innovador proceso garantiza cero residuos al utilizar sólo los materiales necesarios y permitir un fácil reciclaje o compostaje al final del ciclo de vida del producto. Nuestro enfoque combina la sostenibilidad con el diseño de vanguardia, promoviendo una fabricación respetuosa con los recursos.
