Pulp paper is, perhaps, the most core foundation of producing a highly economical, health-risk free and environmentally friendly product. Unless if you have attended a paper pulp making course before at an art’s college, it’s basically utilizes layers of papers induced with a substance known as polylactic acid (in this scenario it is far more advanced than just a studio elective class) which is considered to be a bio-degradable source made from either corn starch or sugar cane. This substance act as a form of catalysts to creates a bond between the paper layers, and with the help of some pressure, makes the final product virtually invulnerable to heat and humidity. In other words, paper pulp uses the concept of Papier-mâché learned from elementary school to create new promising line of product, while minimizes the number of potential-health-hazards plastic food containers.
Even if paper pulp may not be fully commercialized yet. However, given of it’s vast potentials makes it no doubt one of the most highly recommended form of manufacturing process to be fully commercialized.
