The bFRIENDS collection for comprising pen pots, trays, and a stand for mobile devices, is 3D-printed from 100% recycled PLA, a cornstarch-derived bioplastic, diverted from landfill.
A compelling demonstration of the viability of 3D-printing as a means of manufacturing mass-appeal consumer products, the collection marks a small but significant step forward in the global drive to shift manufacturing from linear production methods to sustainable, closed-loop systems.
The collection uses the story of their materiality and manufacture with pride. 3D printing is an additive process, meaning that the products are built up layer by layer in a single continuous line of bioplastic, which leaves delicate and tactile horizontal ridging on the vertical surfaces.
