BACK IN FEBRUARY 2021 WE SPOKE TO SOME COOL GUYS IN WEST SUSSEX ABOUT WASTE SILICONE.
IT SEEMED LIKE A LONG SHOT BUT JOE WAS UP FOR THE CHALLENGE. A YEAR OF MAKING, TESTING & TRIALING PROTOTYPES & HERE IT IS, THE FILLICONE BOOT.
DAVID (THE MILL MAN) MIXES PIGMENT & 100% SCRAP COMPOUNDS (FROM MOULDING OR EXTRUSION) INTO SHEETS.
THE BOOT CUP IS THEN MOULDED USING A 40 YEAR OLD FILM DEVELOPING TYRE MOULD THAT WAS LONG OUT OF USE & DESTINED FOR SCRAP. WE KEPT THE EMBOSSED ‘T’ ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BOOT (BELIEVED TO BE TECHNICOLOUR) BECAUSE WE LIKE IT.
