TU/ecomotive - Luca

TU/ecomotive developed a car made almost entirely from waste.

Together, we produce 2.1 billion tons of waste annually, enough to fill the Philips-stadium to the roof 7380 times. To promote awareness of a circular economy, student team TU/ecomotive developed a car made almost entirely from waste. The result is an electric sports car called Luca. Luca’s chassis is made from flax and recycled ocean-sourced plastics. The car’s body, finish, windows and interior are also made from recycled materials like PET-bottles, ABS, and even refined household waste.
