Change your perspective on

plastic

recycling.

Imagine your single-use plastic transformed into beautiful, lasting assets that enrich your spaces and communities.

At Future Makers, we design and rework plastic and technical textile materials through a visible, in-studio process.

Explore our products and projects below and see how your materials can become something extraordinary!

Working with

Materials

We work with plastic and technical textile materials from industry, events and production.

We develop sheet material through design and prototyping to support products, structures and installations.

Our work develops new approaches to material use and long-term value, including the Plastic Revolution, an initiative focused on changing perceptions and behaviours around plastic.
