New kayak prototype made from an end-of-life FibraQ-based kayak
Going circular. 3D printed kayak made of FibraQ compound is recycled into a new 3D printed prototype.
Meeting Market Needs with 3D Printing
In response to market demands in North America, the kayak manufacturer Melker of Sweden urgently needed to develop a shorter and wider kayak model. Through 3D printing, they successfully created a prototype from an end-of-life FibraQ-based kayak in just a few months. This rapid prototyping approach allows for efficient product development and a reduced environmental footprint.
A unique example of how advanced bio composite objects can be effectively turned into new high-value products.
The recycled kayak is made of plastic from discarded fishing nets from the west coast of Sweden and reinforced with FibraQ, a Biofiber Tech modified wood-fiber.
