FILM MATERIAL RESEARCH

Between two thin layers of recycled PVC, the corporate branding is strengthened by using its own waste.
The waste materials or leftovers of corporate clients, through a balanced mix of advanced technology and manual skill, become amazing objects. Production waste or unprocessed raw materials (food labels, old catalogs, iron foils, aluminum, wood swarfs, electrical and copper wires, yarns, and organic matters) are included between two recyclable PVC sheets and make an exclusive fabric that opens up endless design and creativity possibilities. Each resulting piece is unique and strongly conveys the corporate design.
