The world of design and architecture is undergoing a revolution. The use of recycled plastics is changing the way we think about materials, their sustainability and functionality. It’s no longer just about beauty – designers and architects are now looking for eco-friendly materials that respect the circular economy and meet strict ESG standards. Plastics that would otherwise end up as waste are now becoming the basis for sustainable design that is changing the world of interiors and exteriors.
How are recycled plastics changing the world of design?
Recycled plastics have become synonymous with an innovative approach to green building. You no longer find them just as an inconspicuous technical material, but as a visible part of modern projects. An example is the ” JATKA” project in Prague, where plastic panels were used as the main cladding of the walls and bar counter. Their unique textures and colours added a modern yet narrative layer to the space – visitors realise they are sitting in a café that has been created through a responsible approach to the planet.
The ONES Concept Design Store in Prague took a similar route, using recycled plastic from Plastic Guys to create new furnishings for their space. The 100% recycled plastic countertop lining blended perfectly with the surrounding exhibition space, underscoring the company’s sustainability-focused philosophy.
And what about the SKØG café in Brno? There too, the architects chose plastic panels for the backlit bar because they are durable, safe and easy to maintain – ideal for a space that is frequented by customers on a daily basis.
What do designers say about recycled plastics?
“For me, plastic is like the material of the future. It’s durable, unique and every piece has a story,” says Czech designer Matěj Chabera, who designs unique furniture from our plastic sheets. “Every project I design is not just about aesthetics. It’s also about doing something good for the planet,” adds Matěj Chabera.
Why choose recycled plastic from Plastic Guys?
We are Plastic Guys and our goal is to change the world of design with plastics. We produce boards made from 100% recycled plastic that are suitable for a wide range of applications – from furniture to tiles to facades. Our boards are not just materials, they are stories. Each piece is an original with a unique texture and colour that will make your project stand out.
Plastic countertops are not only aesthetically appealing, but also extremely durable – they can easily handle moisture, impact and everyday wear and tear, while maintaining excellent workability. What’s more? They can be recycled up to 14 times, which means they have a really long life cycle. So by using recycled plastics, you’re not only reducing waste, you’re actively supporting the circular economy and giving materials a chance to be reused.
How do recycled plastics take sustainable design to the next level?
At a time when creativity and responsibility need to be combined, our boards are the ideal solution. Our projects prove that sustainable design can be beautiful, functional and contribute to meeting strict ESG standards. Thanks to us, plastic is no longer a problem, but a solution.
