What PlasticPeople Is All About
PlasticPeople is tackling one of the biggest environmental challenges head-on: plastic waste. Every year, people discard a staggering 350 million tonnes of plastic. Shockingly, only about 15% of that gets collected and recycled. The rest? It ends up in landfills and oceans, wreaking havoc on ecosystems and breaking down into harmful microplastics. But here’s the thing — PlasticPeople is changing the game. Their mission? Zero plastic left behind. They’re turning what was once trash into something valuable, useful, and beautiful.
The Main Benefit: Real Impact in Numbers
PlasticPeople’s work isn’t just talk — it’s backed by some impressive achievements:
- Over 50 tonnes of plastic recycled
- Support provided to more than 2 waste collectors
- Connections made with 30+ households and organizations
- More than 2 workshops held for NGOs and businesses
These numbers show a real, tangible impact — and it’s just the beginning.

One of the coolest things about PlasticPeople is their diverse range of durable, multifunctional materials. These aren’t your average recycled plastics. They’re crafted to be strong, versatile, and sustainable — perfect for all sorts of creative projects. Whether you’re looking to build furniture, accessories, or architectural elements, these materials bring visions to life while keeping the planet in mind.
