The project
Archicercle engraved recycled notebooks made using plastic recovered from the oceans. Our work focused on personalising the covers and exploring different engraving results by adjusting the machine settings.
We used our galvanometer laser system to carry out the engraving. Several trials involved adjusting both power and speed, producing different engraving results. These tests formed part of our work on the notebooks, alongside carrying out the personalisation.
The light-coloured covers feature blue motifs relating to the sea and recycling. A sea turtle surrounded by waste accompanies the Spanish wording meaning ‘MADE WITH PLASTIC RECOVERED FROM THE OCEANS’, linking the graphics to the stated origin of the notebooks’ material. Our contribution was the engraving and parameter testing, rather than manufacturing the notebooks.
