Pulp use

Abstract
Paper pulp is commonly used for packaging, either molded into a shape or
rolled into sheets of paper and turned into cardboard. With international
shipping and our general consumption, paper and cardboard from
packaging is all around us. The recycle rate of the material is high compared
to many other materials, but there might still be more potential for all the
used packaging than being tossed into a bin.

By looking into how paper pulp is produced and used today I started
replicating the production process myself in my home environment. I did
this with the goal of understanding the material and it’s characteristics, to
be able to produce realistic mockups and prototypes.

be able to produce realistic mockups and prototypes.

The process of working with paper pulp became the heart of the project
when I realized that more people could do the same thing I was doing. The
material surprised me by how easy it was to work with and how little was
required to get a product close to what an industrial machine would
produce. The results of the project are different production techniques,
some visionary and some concrete, presented in this documentation for
anyone to engage with today (Less)
