Oops, mistake there:
Wool is a natural material, not a material material!

There is a reason for the use of 3mm industrial wool and that is its structural quality, which cotton, no matter how thick, lacks, and would not be able to be used without newspapers.
Using felt allows the product to function with and without newspapers.
Wool is also 100% recyclable, can be returned to the ground, due to the fact that it is a material material. Using 1 material (100% wool) makes the product extremely easy to recycle with no disassembly required!
