ISOFLOC SOLID
The Swiss company isofloc is producing blown-in insulation material out of 100% recycled newspaper. After shredding the paper several times, plastic and metal pieces are sorted out.
The new isofloc SOLID I developed in collaboration with the company is made out of the same insulation material and is the result of the research project AOS – Aesthetics of Sustainability – at écal. The loose material was turned into a solid fiber board that either comes flat or can directly be moulded into any three-dimensional shape. The material is very light, yet strong and flexible.
By just adding 4% of water soluble PVA glue, the solid material stays 100% recycled and also recyclable.
