Famae Award
In May 2018, Famae awarded Precious Plastic 300.000€ to further develop the project.
Exactly 112 people came to Eindhoven to craft Precious Plastic Version 4. Living and working together. For 15 consecutive months.
In May 2018, Famae awarded Precious Plastic 300.000€ to further develop the project.
The city of Eindhoven invited Precious Plastic to work in a huge workspace in the centre of the city. Free of charge. Epic.
We lived communally in 10 houses about to be demolished. Living together. Like a (weird) family. With the occasional parties.
More than one hundred super skilled and qualified people came to work on Precious Plastic. Dedicating their time to the project. Unpaid. To push the project further. Heroes.
We followed a plant-based diet for the duration of the entire project as we see this as the most sustainable way of sourcing our energies. No one died. And it tasted delicious.
People poured in from around the world to develop Version 4. Skilled designers, engineers, developers and helpers volunteered up to 16 months to make it happen. Hats off.
