Van Plestik

Plastic waste causes huge problems for both men and nature worldwide. We learned that it’s often burned and a big part of the plastic that ís collected, is not recycled. That’s why we developed a 3D printer especially made to recycle plastic waste streams. From our workshop in the North of Amsterdam, we change the way we deal with plastic waste. By using it as a resource, vanPlestik wants to show the world that plastic is more than a disposable material.

With our enormous 3D printer we transform plastic waste into unique, high-quality and affordable plastic objects.

Our Mission

Eventually, we hope to turn the impact we have on a national level into a global impact. Therefore our goal is to reduce the plastic waste problem worldwide by enabling and creating local industries. Because a lack of access to recycling facilities in many places in the world, plastic ends up in nature. With our cost-effective 3D-printers we will be able to close the plastic loop on a local level. As a result, new businesses can be created that produce valuable objects and at the same time – keep plastic from ending up in nature.
