This is an experiment I made using old newspaper. I liquidized to a pulp using warn water and then added pieces of recycled coloured paper card and plastic bags, then squeezed the water out in a mould and put in the oven to dry it out.
Samples of materials : 1. Carpet underlay, made from recycled fabrics and fibres.
2. My own test, made from recycled newspaper and card.
3. My own test made from recycled plastic bag and then heated

More experiments using recycled plastic bags, bonded together by ironing and then heated with a blow torch.
