Production of an ecological mannequin made from paper and rice
Today, more and more importance is being attached to doing business in a responsible manner. Companies are therefore opting for solutions that favour the environment, or at least do not have a negative impact on it. This also applies to the fashion industry - designers, manufacturers, retailers. If you run a fashion shop, find out more about eco-friendly mannequins.
They use recycled paper, which is properly cut and prepared for the mould. In addition to this, the use of a good quality binder is also essential - in this case, manufacturers go for rice and other natural substances.
How exactly does the production of an ecological mannequin made from paper and rice proceed? Up to eight layers of paper are placed in the mould - each layer must first dry and only then can the next layer be placed. Once the mannequin has dried well, it is removed from the mould and can then be painted in any colour or left in its natural version (e.g., the PAPER SOUL ecological mannequin for women).
