Created by Beer Holthuis, the printer works by taking paper pulp that has been mixed with a natural binding agent and extrudes it into your choice of design. Each project is completely free of plastic and, because of the highly recyclable paper material, capable of being recycled into a new item whenever desired.

The 'Paper Pulp Printer' is capable of creating ornate projects that are highly textured, multifunctional and stylish to make them suitable for any modern living space or office.
