Zeoform

Zeoform was born in Byron Bay, New South Wales, where a team of designers, engineers and industrial design and robotics specialists set out to turn waste into material. Its core product, Zeoform Micro Pulp, is made solely from waste paper and plant fibre with water: no glues, no resins and no petrochemicals, a self-binding material developed over nearly two decades of research.

ZMP is formed into furniture and objects that are strong, light and biodegradable, and the company works with clients in three ways: producing a design brought to them, developing one together, or adapting an existing product. The debut collection, the Iceberg Series, sets sculptural forms in the material as a dialogue between strength and sustainability. Alf Wheeler, with close to four decades in industrial materials science, is CEO and co-founder.
