Post-Plastic

A new view on recycling mixed plastics

Plastic recycling company ECO-oh! brought in Simone Post for a fresh perspective on their materials. Her quest for new uses found its expression in this inspirational book. In Simone Post’s future scenario for ECO-oh! plastics are sorted by colour and the grey, less-processed materials are given an architectural value as they are used in buildings that consist entirely of recycled plastic. She shows how recycled plastics can be combined and connected in a variety of new ways if their individual, unique qualities are used.

With this project, Simone wants to demonstrate the potential of the material in playful and unexpected ways. She puts another perspective on plastic waste and spotlights its beauty. Simone Post is turning ugly ducklings into ornate swans by creating plastic samples in remarkable textures, attractive colour combinations and beautiful shapes. She reveals and shows the beauty of plastic in all its splendour.
