Project Name: Newspaper wood Project managers/designers: Mieke Meijer & ViJ5 -Arjan van Raadshooven + Anieke Branderhorst Web link: http://www.newspaperwood.com Description: While the designers have not necessarily been focusing on creating a material that would benefit a community, they have been tackling an important issues of waste management. The newspapers are glued and pressed firmly together and once sealed are both waterproof and fire retardant. This means they could be an ideal building material in place of timber, saving on trees and recycling the many tons of newspaper discarded daily. Added by: Nathan Ritson
