INTERVIEW WITH SIMON MANDELJ FOR THE EVERYTHING PE
10th January, 2025
Together, we produce 2,1 billion tons of waste each year. To show that waste can be reused in a useful way, student team TU/ecomotive from the Eindhoven University of Technology presents a car made almost entirely out of waste. The result is a sporty looking, electric car named Luca. Luca’s chassis is made out of flax and recycled plastics, of which the plastic is taken straight from the ocean. Also, the body, finish, windows and interior are made out of recycled materials like PET-bottles, ABS and even refined household waste.
