Design studio, Smile Plastics, are constructing hand-crafted panels from a range of waste materials.
Formed from PVC-based plastic packaging and coffee waste – among other types of waste streams – Smile Plastics' materials can be used in wide-ranging applications; from small products to large-scale installations in both residential and commercial spaces.
Smile plastics’ mission is to alter perceptions around waste innovation; the studio also offer limited edition materials, a bespoke materials service and a custom design service.
