Paper Materials for Furniture: A Design Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Research In Engineering & Management. - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 6
Abstract
This paper discusses the paper waste can be the alternative materials for furniture to replace the wood and metal materials. Furniture is an important product that occupies indoor and outdoor spaces that used for sitting, lying, storing, eating, sleeping and working. Paper waste in landfills has the higher amount of waste compared to other waste such as plastics, glass, metals and food waste. Besides, the recycling process is the best way to overcome the major environmental issues such as the pollution, deforestation, pervasive logging, landfill waste, dangerous greenhouse gases and global warming. So, the human must play their roles in recycling activities, process, and campaign. The advantages of the paper materials for furniture such as easy to handle, cost saving, lightweight, strong, and stiff. The waste materials had been applied in construction activities already been proven so that it can be the alternative materials to reduce the cost and usage of raw materials. The futuristic design of paper materials furniture is the best approach to satisfy the customer’s requirements and the new successor in furniture industries by using Product Development Process (PDP). The paper waste materials into furniture products is a part of the innovation and Green Technology approach.
