FANTASTIC PLASTIC

The “Fantastic Plastic” exhibition features design objects made from recycled plastic by more than 40 Russian and foreign designers. 

For more than half a century designers have been taking advantages of plastic. This unique material is used in almost all areas of human activity. It is lightweight, durable and versatile, and its reuse saves natural materials and reduces the amount of energy consumed. Plastic has a 100% potential for multiple reprocessing. 

The exhibition is aimed at raising public and experts’ awareness of the possibilities of plastic reuse, introducing the visitors to the international experience in this area, and drawing their attention to conscious consumption and waste management culture. 

Olga Druzhinina, Development Director of the Moscow Design Museum: “Plastic is a unique material that gets a new life when being recycled. Most designers consider it to be a material of unlimited possibilities that can be used to create a wide variety of products - from jewellery to art installations. It is important to change the attitude of the society towards plastic and its secondary use. The most important changes for the better always start with ourselves”. 

The exhibition is accompanied by an extensive educational program, which includes master classes on artistic methods of waste recycling and lectures by Russian and foreign artists and designers on environmental design and work experience with recycled plastics.

The project is realized as part of the "Culture" direction of the SIBUR charity program "Good Deeds Formula".
