Stan Shetka invented, designed, patented and built the equipment that converts all and any king fibrous by-products into high-end sheet or molded materials. He continues to improve and evolve the process and owns many trade secrets related to improvements and changes to the original process. 1991: Patent Granted on February 19, U.S. Patent No. 4,994,148. PULP PRESS MOLDING METHOD FOR MAKING PRODUCTS FROM PAPER PULP FROM RECYCLED PAPER. Stan Shetka designed and patented the entire throughput process that converts all fibrous by-products in to wood, stone and plastic replacement materials. Today he can process glass, plastic, carpet, wood, stone, 1992-2007: Founder/ President, All Paper Recycling, Inc. / ShetkaWorks, LLC, 435 West Industrial Street, Le Center, MN 56057, www.shetkastone.com. (Web page currently under construction) Recycling paper is often just about creating more (you guessed it) paper, but a Minnesotan company by the name of All Paper Recycling has been taking
- 6. recycled paper and converting it into a lovely and versatile new building material called ShetkaStone. Completely made from all types of recycled paper (including waxed paper, glossy paper, and magazines), plants, and cloth fibers ShetkaStone can be used to create anything from doors, counter tops, benches, molding, soap dishes, and more. Created by Stanly J. Shetka, president of All Paper Recycling, Inc., the patented process involved in creating ShetkaStone, creates slurry made post consumer waste, which is then formed into the hardened product. Due to its recycled content, ShetkaStone has a 100% sustainable life cycle. Both the waste created in the manufacturing process as well as products that have become damaged or reached the end of the cycle can go back into the manufacturing process at All Paper Recycling, Inc. In 1998 Sarah Susanka started a revolution in home design with a deceptively simple message: quality should always come before quantity. Sarah was one of my first architectural clients at that time and actually included images and mention of my work in her book. This past summer 2017, 20 years later Stan completed first out door house prototype by collaborating with architect Richard Peterson, of Afton Minnesota. In 2009 he was collaborating with the ethanol production facilities and developing a process to make boards form the by-products from corn ethanol production. He was gifted $750,000 to secure the success of that project. 1973- Present “The World Art Project ®”(WAP) Stan Shetka is Founder/Coordinator of this Life Long Project. In 1973 Stan Shetka conceived, conceptualized and dreamed about making a work of art that was created from a donated material of importance from ever person in the world. In1988 he introduced the concept of the world art project to the world in a one-person exhibition titled “The World Art Project®” at the Minneapolis Institute of art. The concept in its self becomes the most important work of art in the world because it now contains an element of significance from every person on the planet and the concept grows and dies just like each human does. If you have one hologram and it is broken into seven billing fragments each fragment will contain an image of the whole. The world Art Project was about his departure from object making to collaboration of knowledge and purpose centered on human activity and knowhow. Today he continues to explore Possibilities for his vision through holography, film and three-dimensional printing. The World Art Project is a representation of an “idea generation model “and Collateral Healing Concepts.
- 7. 2009-2013: Owner/Management Research and Development Team, Regenerated Solid Materials, Inc. (RSM, Inc.) Montreal, Canada, Product Name: NāTreeà®, Stan Shetka conducted a three year $500,000 Research and Development project that has been completed. Business Plan Completed, Product Testing was conducted and technical specifications for new products were tested completed and certified. Investment opportunities are currently being investigated. Stan Shetka owns all the exclusive rights to all the new products and processes he developed. 2007 to the Present: The current work of Stan Shetka titled: “Collateral Healing -Six Degrees of Collaboration” is centered on what he describes as creative enlightenment. Stan invented the phrase “collateral healing” back in the 1970’s as an opposite option to collateral damage. Collateral damage is defined as injury inflicted on something other than an intended target. The most tragic examples happen during wartime when civilian lives are lost because of military operations. It also happens when herbicides and insecticides are sprayed on every square inch of our farmland. The collateral damage happens when every other insect is annihilated and chemicals end up in the food on our plates, on the cloths we wear and in the air we breathe. Through his creative work Stan seeks to reverse the trends of collateral damage in all sections of the business world. In the 1970s Stan started out by creating systems that produced high-end materials solutions that were economically feasible and ecofriendly and were made from one hundred percent recycled paper called ShetkaStone. Now some forty years later his first ShetkaStone products are being recycled back into new ShetkaStone products. In fact he made a chair 20 times using the same fibers over and over again. All 20 chairs had the same structural integrity and no waste by- products were created. Collateral healing centers on what Shetka calls “six degrees of Collaboration”. Bring into any community or business one single collaboration project. Start anywhere within that community and it will lead to six or more other collaborative projects that will begin to transform that community’s economic base, incorporate green technology and grow its GDP. Through creative collaboration and sharing of knowledge and through education and state of the art international communication devices any business or community can grow and prosper within the global
- 8. economy. The uniqueness of the collateral healing platform is “it focuses on preserving the integrity of all life.” His work begins with collaborations that intertwine with project-based learning, community collaborations and entrepreneurship. Through the creative process he pursues entrepreneurial experiences in order to reach and evolve his creative objectives and goals. The success of the new globalization and the beginning of the great convergence depends on knowledge flows especially to the groups that were left behind during the great divergence. Stan has been reading, writing and researching matters of world economic integration through his work for the past 30 years. Through collateral healing he is reaching out and beginning projects that can and will expand into all the branches of the liberal arts education, enlist real time exiting research and development projects and generate major funding for every phase of his work. He envisions a perfect Segway into project based learning through community collaboration. Prospects include opportunities to subsidize the entire project and even obtain free education. Feasibility studies expose economically viable projects that will continue to generate funding from the get go. Language and communication must always be an intergrade part of the knowledge flow systems. He stresses the importance of knowledge exchange and ability to tap into the world communication system from anywhere on the planet as the next chapter of his collateral healing platform. Stan’s creative work has always centered on community energy and creative purpose. The beauty of his work is the pragmatic applications and solutions. In the classrooms, he encourages his students to put up all if their biggest problems and fears on the walls of the room. He believes one must surrounded themselves with their biggest challenges in life especially in the studio while sculpting and drawing! If you taste, smell, hear and feel while learning, education becomes an intriguing part of your life and many boundaries are crossed. Through project based learning you become part of what you are learning and therefore you will always carry that experience with you. Early in his career professor Shetka was intrigued and inspired by some of the beliefs and principles of the Bauhaus. The Bauhaus was founded with the idea of creating a "total" work of art in which all arts, including architecture, would eventually be brought together. The Bauhaus style later became one of the most influential currents in modern design, art, design and architectural education. The Bauhaus had a profound influence upon
- 9. subsequent developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design, and industrial design. The Modernism movement flourished and evolved through the creative practices of the Bauhaus. Within the walls of the Bauhaus the belief was that art should meet the needs of society and that there should be no distinction between form and function. For many artists, architects and designers, the Bauhaus was an ideology and a conviction, not just a school of arts and architecture. Experimenting with new materials and forms entailed a whole new living environment. When the Bauhaus artists dispersed they carried the concepts and energy of the Bauhaus with them where ever they ended up in the world. Unfortunately, the spreading of the concept turned it into a teaching ritual practice rather than the true substance and working model of what the Bauhaus movement was meant to do and evolve to. What has been neglected is that the creative process is connected to all the liberal arts departments and should connect with and work through all the enterprises of the world. The cost to do business should include education costs, research and development costs, and creativity should be part of the entire business and life cycle of all human enterprises. With the collateral healing platform education and creativity are subsidized by all human activity related to commerce and 100 percent of all education is project based and purpose drive.

At current rates, it is estimated that landfills could easily by filled by the year 2010. Stanley Shetka has developed a patented process for recycling almost any paper product into a wood-hard substance called "pressed paper." Through this process he can turn waste paper into any size, shape or color; and because no binders are used, anything made from it can be recycled. Finished materials can be sealed or painted with any of the products presently on the market for use with wood and can be manipulated with all standard woodworking tools. In continuing his work, Shetka will focus on the use and testing of pressed paper as a wood replacement material for building construction. He will build a weather-sealed house, furnished with pressed paper furniture and works of art, which will symbolize not only a practical use of the pressed paper material, but a solution for waste paper that is now taking up to 40% of our landfill space. This Lindbergh/Weyerhaeuser Grant in conservation of natural resources has been made possible by a gift from the Carl A. Weyerhaeuser Charitable Trust. Update Stanley Shetka is now founder of All Paper Recycling, Inc. of Le Center, Minn. ShetkaWorks, which operates out of this plant produces ShetkaStone, a marble-like product for use in countertops, furniture, etc. His work has been featured on HGTV's series "I Want That."

Bye Bye By-Products! People living in houses built entirely out of recycled newspaper and phonebooks…using chairs that, if broken, can be smashed to a pulp only to be crafted into another chair…landfills never receiving another piece of paper again...welcome to the future as proposed by Stan Shetka, creator and head of All Paper Recycling, Inc. (APR Inc.) and professor of art at Gustavus Adolphus College. According to their mission statement, “All Paper Recycling, Inc. believes that all wood, stone and plastic consumer products can be replaced with products made from 100% recycled paper, cloth, and/or plant fiber,” and they are well on their way to proving this a possibility. Using a unique and patented process that uses no toxic bonding agents, APR Inc. takes advantage of the natural fiber bonds that result when fiber is mixed with water and pulped into a slurry. All the water is squeezed out (and reused) with a press, creating blocks that can be cut, sanded, glued, varnished, screwed, and nailed...like regular wood. In fact, it performs similarly to pine, but at one fifth the cost. By introducing certain additives to the pulp, ShetkaBoard blocks can be made water-proof, insect-proof, or even flame retardant. And all of these materials and the by-products from production can simply be re-broken down into slurry and used to create again.

To protest a particular Art History assignment, Stan boiled down his entire textbook to a pulp, smashed it into a solid block, and turned it in, explaining that it was a “different view of history – destroying history to make history.” Legend has it that Stan received an A on that assignment. ShetkaBoard further evolved when Stan crafted a kinetic sculpture that ate waste paper fed to it by visitors at the gallery, and in return spit out a hard little block of recycled paper. APR, Inc. has grown from there into a profitable business that operates out of a 1400 square foot facility in southern MN that markets countertops, desktops, and tables, along with picture frames, coasters, boxes, and much more. Stan explains that this is an example of “art meeting industry” – of art becoming utilitarian. APR, Inc. has branched into two main materials: ShetkaBoard and ShetkaStone. ShetkaStone is also produced from 100% post consumer waste paper fiber, but is processed using a certain percent or glossy papers, which by weight contain about 30% clay. Sometimes waste-plastic is added to make it water-proof. The resulting material looks and feels like stone, and is certified with a class “A” fire and smoke rating without the use of chemicals. This material can also be recycled over and over again through the same process. A Sustainable Future What does the future hold for ShetkaBoard and ShetkaStone? The possibilities seem almost limitless. Plans include housing that can be built without using any wood. The pieces would stamped out in sections and fit together kind of like Legos. Each wall or roof section will include interior support, insulation, sidding, and interior finishing, with plumbing and electrical utilities already built into each panel, so when you connect sections, electric and plumbing connect automatically. Stan is currently working with an architect on this design. Another project in the works is a warehouse pallet that is 100% percent recycled, half the weight of wood, using no screws or nails, and which can be recycled again if ever broken. 600 million pallets are made a year in the United States from raw material. With the end of our supply of raw wood materials in sight, Stan’s alternative to this demand will be both timely and accessible. “I grew up on farm. I saw how it worked and how it changed when herbicides and pesticides were put in. We used to fish in drainage ditches; now there are no fish. There are birds that have disappeared. You can’t find earthworms in the fields. Bees have disappeared: you don’t hear them buzzing in the trees.

With more creative people following Stan’s lead by exploring innovative alternatives to our consumer waste, perhaps we will see an end to the dramatic destruction of our natural world.
