Pentatonic & Miniwiz presented the world’s first mobile off-grid recycling plant.

 

Trashpresso is a giant solar-powered recycling plant that transforms discarded plastic bottles into architectural tiles. The machine was the brainchild of Pentatonic, a furniture and design company based in Berlin and London committed to using only post-consumer waste in their products – from chairs made from “felted” plastic to glassware made from smartphone screens.

Using London’s rubbish, Pentatonic & Miniwiz created architectural tiles that pieced together an interactive installation, demonstrating the power and potential of up-cycling.
