Responsible Innovation Projects
91-92 is a Copenhagen based 3D printing studio, founded in 2020 by Zeyu Rong together with Weibo Sun. The role of the studio is to design, develop, and produce everyday objects and furniture made from recycled plastic. They believe that 3D printing technology is positioned to become more involved in our sustainable daily lives by localising production, minimising material waste, and reducing energy consumption. Both of us have wanted to start something with a sustainable approach. We have seen people taking initiatives and putting efforts into making their everyday life more sustainable. So we think it will be quite cool if we can offer people some alternatives on everyday products. From the very beginning, we have made a commitment to work only with entirely recycled material for every product. Our 3D printing filaments are produced from recycled plastic extrusion. Plastics are omnipresent in fields of manufacturing, production, and packaging so the choice to recycle used plastics is a direct effort to create a closed loop for this material’s life cycle. As a durable and cost efficient material, plastic is made to last. This durability, coupled with a relatively simple transforming process, does not require high energy consumption and produces a recycled plastic that can be readily used in many other applications and processes. We make sure there is only a single type of recycled plastic material used in each product. This makes the re-use and recycling of the material is much easier. We promise that no glue, metal joint or any other material is used in our products. We see in the future, sustainability will be the base of any new design, and recycling material, especially for plastics, will become more advanced, and used in more industries. On top of that, design will be more rooted in our heritage, more connected to the essence of our daily life, while the technologies are used only for good reason.
