Replacing PVC Binders

The objective of this project was to provide a sustainable solution and replace PVC materials in binder design due to the negative environmental impact of these materials.

PVC binders are often used in combination with other structural materials making the different materials difficult to separate for the recycling process. StudioFYNN’s designs are a response to this situation by focusing on single material solutions while serving the requirements of global legislation.

The intention was therefore to explore the use of more sustainable and recyclable material groups. Initial research explored a wide range of materials from recycled paper and plastic products to alternate materials sources from diverse industries on a global level. Polypropylene materials were chosen for the final production articles due to the ability to achieve recyclable, aesthetically pleasing, elegant and structural solutions from one material group.

StudioFYNN’s designs are a response to this situation by focusing on single material solutions while serving the requirements of global legislation.
