Sustainable bicycle frames made from recycled plastic waste

Robust, recyclable, with a futuristic look

From ocean plastics to motion plastics

For production, igus uses specially built machines with lubrication-free and durable igus components. The plastic is moulded via rotomoulding or rotary casting with low pressure and high temperature, which combines heat and biaxial rotation. The frame is made from soft plastics such as 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.
