The first collected plastic is starting to arrive at the Electrolux design studio. Soon a first prototype will be made to test how the sea plastic behaves when it is molded into a finished vacuum cleaner.
The challenges are many;
Which parts can be made with plastic from the sea?
How do you solve the problem with casting together different types of plastic?
And what will the final vacs look like with plastic from different oceans?
It is an exciting work.
