[ENG] Skate or Upcycle 🛹🤘🏾♻️ - Broken shapes and plastic waste turned to hype

in SkateHivelast year (edited)

Heyy #SkateHive community! We're so stoked to make part of it... be able to see the community growing make us so glad!

To #introduceourselves we are the Precious Plastic ES and our mission is turn plastic waste in precious products to change the people's perception about disposable plastics. But what upcycling, carrying about the environment and skate has in common?

So let us tell ya all... processed wood is also a bad thing to the environment when it's not taken to the right place. Don't judge me, I'm skater and I love break my skateboard on a gnarly trick.... but we need to do something with this material that made us so happy someday.

Thinking about that we joined with SurfOnWood that is stating a great job with recycled skateboard that every month STKMAFIA.STORE give him a bunch of broken skateboard.


Andrezim from SurfOnWood giving me one of them.


Sanding the wedges after cutting and gluing the plastic on top as a deck.


And that's it... looks good. After that SurfOnWood made the woodwork to make the stool.

Recycled plastic and skateboard worked so well and the result was so good. So we've made two unique stolls from waste.


Oww I forgot to tell that we've made a table as well but it's a another story.

We've gotten back to SKTMAFIA.STORE with the stoll to show how their waste could be turn in a cool things in our hands. This is so important to the circular economy around skateboarding culture that impacts positively to the world.

We did a little shooting with the atlete Sk8_rafa and produced a cool content, so check this.

The collab with SurfOnWood is the connection with the skate culture since they're turning old skateboard into a beautiful handmade stool. And put it back as a upcyled product was very important to foment the circular economy in Espírito Santo - BRA.
