Bumpers from Volvo and VW turned into furniture!
Together with Volvo Cars, Volkswagen Group, and several entities in the automotive industry, Sculptur has managed to transform obsolete bumpers into design furniture using large-scale 3D technology.
A car consist of about 20% plastic. Every year, around 200,00 end-of-life cars are sent to a scrapyard in Sweden. In addition, approximately 600,00 cars are involved in accidents, which means that car parts must be replaced. All in all, a lot of plastic material from cars is only recycled through energy recovery, ie through incineration where the energy is recovered.
Each piece of furniture is provided with a QR code making it easy to tell the story, but also find information about how to recycle the 100% recyclable furniture.
Partners: Volvo Cars, Volkswagen Group, Motorbranschens Riksförbund, Din Bil, If, RISE, Stena Recycling, Jönköpings Bildemontering, Bils Sweden, and Sculptur.
