Igus has created a bicycle made entirely of recycled plastic. The company is taking the bundle of engineering concepts and components for building plastic bicycles and making it available to all bicycle manufacturers via the igus bike platform. The first bike made of recycled plastics will be available commercially by the end of the year.
As a company that produces plastic tools for motion systems, igus is aware of the urgent need to move away from the traditional linear economic model. Ultimately, manufacturers need to migrate to a fully circular economy.
