UP_designlab was born in 2020 with an idea, recycle plastic bags, which are discarded by the commercial sector and not only. We collect plastic bags from business waste; we classify them by type of plastic (HDPE and LDPE) and colors. Once the separation is done, we begin our process of designing our “plastic fabrics”, a collage cluster, we play with the different colors, textures, and types of plastics; once the design is defined, we take it to a compression machine that fuse the plastic through heat. From there, we start a handmade work which result is an unique product made with recycled material. 

We at vanPlastik work with 100% recycled plastics. Our team designs, recycles and prints circular products with our self-built 3D printers. By upcycling plastic waste we give the material new value. Our goal is to spread our knowledge and enable others to work on a waste-free future alongside us. Therefore we sell our shredded material, as well as our circular products. These products range from flower pots to lounge chairs and coffee tables.
