A first of its kind, this material and composite made from cow dung has been developed from ongoing research on cow manure. The team collaborated with Kick your Butt!, an Indonesian R&D project making materials from on discarded cigarette butts, to make a composite of cow dung and discarded cigarette filters. This material is applied to the stool as well as the lid element of the box.
