Ink in Trash
Urban and Public Design
Pre-inked Recycled Plastic by using a colored fluid, giving specific color to plastic waste, and applying these colors into a blaze-board that can be placed in different environments either indoors or outdoors. The applications such as Environmental décor, way-finding & signage, place-making and architectural design, public art and murals, retail design. Thanks to the fact that since 2022 ecopixel is able to “pigment” it’s raw waste materials a whole new generation of possibilities has opened. In fact, with this new, vast color palette ecopixel gives birth to the incredible possibility to create accurate colored plastic waste that allows assembly in image-panels being a true works of art. This abstraction of images can be applied to boards of any size, where the image can be a message, create a “Manifesto” or be any other kind of image featuring true artistic value. The size of each pixel can actually be linked to the size the entire panel so to play with resolution as part of the concept. The image panel is a structured set-up where colored cylinders put together a visual textured image, full of color like a vivid and genuine painting. ecopixel’s pigmented waste series gave the ability to create color defined designs. With ecopixel creating a version of each color in its distinctive terrazzo texture, the final image results with a magnificent air of detailed perfection. Working closely with ecopixel industry, I had the opportunity to directly experience the development of this new pigmentation production method and color management and so had the chance to collaborate in its final result. The application of these visual textures is a tangible alternative to how we can use recycled plastics into a commitment to change how we reuse plastic, now finally in the colorful way we always wanted. Image panel is an entirely detachable, disassemble and therefor reusable product. As ecopixel is a recyclable material itself, it also results a true circular project.
