Sanyo Paper released six designs of table mats made from recycled industrial paper. They collaborated with five groups of fashion designers and picture book authors to bring these upcycled table mats. Industrial grade crepe paper was used as the material, which has the strength and elasticity created by unique wrinkles and has a water resistance level that is rare for paper.
