Carolien Haver: “Wool is a very intriguing and valuable feedstock which is worth to use multiple ways. As an artist, I don’t see wool as waste but as a high-quality natural raw material with unprecedented possibilities. It is local, circular and biobased and is available in large amounts. It is hard to accept that it is all being wasted and farmers need to pay for disposing it! To really make a difference in finding applications, it is necessary to be able to work in bulk to work at affordable cost. Our cooperation with Planq and Cato provides a solid foundation and creates space for inventiveness and creativity. Local knowledge and decisiveness leads to a completely new use of wool.”
Within this year the joint “the chair made of wool” project was launched and the product successfully developed. The project has come to a level for readiness for manufacturing for 100% biobased sustainable furniture.
