housewares 12

The materials from Kareline, a finnish company (I think) were featured in the sustainable section of the Houswares show. The area was a little bit of a sad combination of bad brochures and odd sales strategies. More examples of actual products would have been much better than the materials library or interactive museum approach that was simply wrong for the space and the audience.

Still, even with that overly critical look there was some interesting info. Like the Composites manufactured by Kareline Oy Ltd which are reported to be excellent for injection moulding and extrusion. At present Kareline® natural fibre reinforced composite granulates are available based on PP, PE, ABS, PS, POM and biodegradable PLA matrix.
