Cardboard Technologies was founded to repurpose recycled cardboard to serve as the primary material for many consumer products that have to date been made primarily from metal, wood and plastic. The company currently has three products in its pipeline and continues to develop new uses for over 200 patents worldwide regarding the use of cardboard and other recycled materials as a building material. The Cardboard Balance Bike is the first product to market, made entirely of recycled cardboard and plastic. It weighs 2.6 kg (5.7 lbs.), is waterproof, can be flat packed and shipped, assembled with minimal effort and tools, requires no maintenance for 3 years, and can be produced at ~$15 cost of raw materials.
