Details
The product architecture of papyrus is made for circularity. Papyrus might be the most sustainable remote control on the planet. Why? The housing is made from bio-based material with cellulose content, the PCB is made out of paper, there are no harmful chemicals – all the printing is made with laser technology, and the sustainable product architecture guarantees easy refurbishing. Therefore, there is nearly no material that cannot be reused in a remote with a second life. Papyrus product architecture guarantees a genuinely circular economy, and with production in austria it comes also with a unique feature: a clean conscience.
The Jury‘s Statement
Many electronic products contribute significantly to environmental pollution due to the use of chemical components and materials that are difficult to recycle. The remote control »papyrus« addresses this issue by adopting a holistic and sustainable material architecture: its housing made of bio-based materials, the paper-based circuit board, and the avoidance of chemical coatings enable resource-efficient production and almost complete recyclability. This convincing combination of environmental compatibility, efficiency, and intelligent manufacturing makes "»papyrus«" a remarkable example of circular value creation and demonstrates how technological innovation can be aligned with ecological responsibility.
