NewspaperWood
Recycling is great
but why not upcycle if possible? The life cycle of newspaper is often short
lived and once the article is read, the whole newsprint is sent to be recycled
consuming even more resources and energy.
Mieke Meijer decided to take the idea of wood being the
"source" and paper the "result" and reverse it…making paper
the "source" and wood the "result". Buy gluing together one newsprint page to
another, layer by layer he created what is today NewspaperWood. The final result produces a paper
like-appearance mimicking the grains and rings expected to see in a piece of
wood. This revolutionary product can be
applied as an interior finish to millwork, and accent pieces as it is durable
and gives the appearance of wood for much less!
