Arborite and Wilsonart, both manufacturer of laminate and other decorative surfaces, announced their combined sponsorship of the Save a Sample! program. Save a Sample! recycles unused fabrics, finish cards, brochures and samples by delivering them to design schools and students to use in their projects and design work. Arborite and Wilsonart’s combined sponsorship assists Save a Sample! in its mission to continue to help developing designers as well as the environment. Wilsonart has supported the program for more than five years and this is the first year for Arborite, as the program expanded to Canada in 2014. Since the program’s inception, thousands of pounds of materials have been donated by some of the busiest design firms. As a result, design students have a more extensive set of resources to choose from as they cultivate their skills.
