Sustainable Paper Waste Printers

The 'Paper Pulp Printer' by Beer Holthuis is Eco-Friendly

Each project is completely free of plastic and, because of the highly recyclable paper material, capable of being recycled into a new item whenever desired.

The 'Paper Pulp Printer' is capable of creating ornate projects that are highly textured, multifunctional and stylish to make them suitable for any modern living space or office.
