recovered Carbon Black themed stickers
I have been experimenting with sticker production and I tested the final material candidate on the car travelling to France for my holiday. The combination of Epson Eco Tank ink and a vinyl substrate came out best and it did well throughout sun and rain in the Atlantic sea climate on the Île de Ré in France.
I have put a range of recovered carbon black inspired sticker motives in my webshop, including recovered carbon black and carbon black aggregate structures. If you work with recovered carbon black and want to show it to the public, be sure to check this out!

I am super grateful for confirming the first sponsor of the recovered Carbon Black Documentary film!
Sponsoring allows me to write the documentary script, prepare and book travel, capture film clips and edit and publish the documentary.
Along with sponsoring, I am offering brand collaborations on Linkedin and Youtube. I hope I can reveal the first sponsor in late summer after the holiday period.
