The significance of paper is usually measured by the value of information it carries. Once the information is deemed useless, the paper is redundant. Either the paper is disposed off or recycled. In an attempt to re brand paper as less disposable resources, Robert Buss came up with an idea to create a ‘Disposable Office’ exclusively made from the recycled paper.
Disposable office takes the most common material of workplace communication and transforms it into the workplace itself. The furniture comprises of recycled paper, with the addition of glass and felt. Individual items are named after various paper functions, such as the Security Documents Chair, Menu Table, or Bank Statements Shelving. According to Buss, Disposable Office is “furniture made from information for the information age.”
According to a survey done by the Environmental Protection Agency, each employee in an emblematic business generates 1.5 pounds of waste paper per day. It’s a huge lot, which on the other hand can be recycled and furniture can be made out of it which would not only appear trendy but also would help save trees from cutting. If you use paper make sure you recycle it for a desk!
