Tetra Pak and Aectual 3D print recycled furniture Consumer Products
According to Tetra Pak, almost 200 billion beverage cartons were produced in 2021, and there are an estimated 5 billion buildings in the world. Therefore, it only makes sense to explore turning these cartons into high-value architectural materials, and decreasing humanity’s reliance on virgin materials used for building and furnishing our daily living and working spaces. This is exactly what Dutch interior design brand, Aectual, is doing – using PolyAl (polymers and aluminum from recycled cartons).
