Pulp Station are a India based company who won the green product price 2021. They work with ecological, social and economics at the heart of their design, working with cultural and traditional methods creating employment for people in India. Pulp Station creates 100% biodegradable furniture and textiles using waste paper. Promoting responsible, biodegradable and sustainable designing and material use at a macro level, as well as awareness through workshops. Developing an alternative mainstream material into design, promoting and creating awareness for traditional paper mache craft.
Pulp Station works by using a circular model for their design within paper fabrics and furniture. the process allows for the products to be biodegradable and repurposed and recycled into a new material. This allows for a positive circular model that makes use of a material that would ordinarily have little purpose once disposed. This process also limits the amount of new production and environmental damage making this circular model an extremely effective and sustainable alternative.
In reflection looking into Pulp Station my work has many of the same and similar values. My sculpture forms are also produced using 100% recycled and sustainable materials, making them biodegradable and non harmful. which can also be recycled, biodegraded and reproduced. My paper and forms could also be adhered to a circular model of my own demonstrating the use and production that allows for the sculptures to be created within a circular model. i think this will be an advantageous way to demonstrate the key values that sit within my design and its sustainable, biodegradable and recyclable functions.
