SUSTAINABILITY AND QUALITY

The parabolic wall is produced under vacuum injection of natural fabrics and polyester.

The use of natural fiber like flax, hemp en jute offer great environmental benefits instead of the traditional glass fiber.

Using a 3D drawing and a robot cutter, the original form is made , with a minimum of material and waste and a maximum precision of 1/1000 millimeter. 

 

The environmental benefits are:

• Very low quantity of (sun) energy to produce the fiber in stead of the energy-intensive process for glass fiber 
• The avoidance of the use of chemicals for etching the glass fiber, in order to adhere the fiber better with the resin.
• The very low emission of styrene (95% lower) by the use of a closed mould during the hardening process of the resin.
• The re-usability  and the possibility to burn it in a combustion furnace after the user phase. This in opposite to glass fiber enforced composites which can't be reused due to European waste dumping rules and the fact that the combustion furnace will get stuck.
