Material Recipe
You melt the polystyrene into acetone until it’s completed dissolved then we can extrude or dry so to obtain dieret results. It expands when cooked and thin up when it’s naturally exposed to air. So we can use this material in dierent cases.
Material Application
- car interiors
- toy’s shell
- prototypes (because at the beggining of the processis more malleable)
- outdoor tiles
- big containers

Material Narrative

be used in several products and greatly decreases the volume of the waste. At the end of the cycle it could be chopped into pieces and recycled.
