Sustainable bicycle frames made from recycled plastic waste

Robust, futuristic look and recyclable - from ocean plastics to motion plastics

Made from recycled plastic waste

For production, igus® uses specially built machines with lubrication-free and durable igus components. The plastic is moulded in the rotomoulding or rotary casting process with low pressure and high temperature, which combines heat and biaxial rotation. The bicycle is made from soft plastics such as, for e.g., polyethylene (PE). The frame can also be made largely from recycled plastic waste such as discarded fishing nets. This is how the mobility of tomorrow is to be created from yesterday's marine plastic.
