Reusing plastic material
Plastic is an invention, which helps us living. We treat it as precious material and reserach its recycling in architecture and design.

Effective recycle
We cooperate with local producents of recycled material. We aim at minimising the carbon footprint.
We Take Action. To Make Better Changes
We regularly take part on public events and share knowledge about recycling and sorting garbage among the nation. We go out with our reserach, show the processes and results of our work.
