I like the idea of the shredded paper furniture. Really thinking out of the box! Also, great questions about the resin. Is it safe?

Why the resin? The recycling loses its point..

The paper and the resin is made from plants.

Great post. I follow furniture and I am glad to see that they are making use of the shredded paper. After all, fiberboard is just pressed sawdust? It stands to reason that shredded paper could be pressurized into something strong.

that’s my question as well… what resin are you using.
i’m trying to find a resin that can be used in large scale paper mache that will harden the form so that it won’t warp. anyone know of a biodegradable, earth-friendly resin?

I like the idea of the reused paper to create this furniture, definitely environmentally friendly but wonder about the resin. What is it made of? Most resins, although typically plant derivatives, are volatile. If this is epoxy resin it will likely emit high VOC as well, negating the environmental impact of the reuse of the paper.
