羊毛信封
用废羊毛填充的可持续邮寄信封
您知道欧洲每年有 20 万吨羊毛被闲置吗？Woola 使用这些羊毛替代塑料包装。羊毛信封是气泡袋邮寄的可持续替代品，其填充物由羊毛制成，否则将被焚烧或掩埋。电子商务公司使用羊毛信封运送易碎的小商品，如化妆品、护肤品、珠宝和小型电子产品。羊毛信封可以重复使用或回收，Woola 还推出了一项试点退货计划，以保持材料的循环使用。

Katrin Kabun
Katrin Kabun is Woola’s co-founder and Product Manager. She is a textile designer, sheep wool expert, a doctoral student and teacher at the Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA).
In her work, Katrin especially appreciates the functionality, simplicity and carefully thought-out use of materials. In design research, she deals with the application of wool as a valuable renewable resource in modern product design. The research is based on a certain apparent opposition – the transfer of the properties of wool as an archaic material to the language of modern design.
