IV-1 Recyclable Plastic Bike

IV-1  Recyclable Plastic Bike
Car | Motorcycle
This plastic bicycle designed to be fully recyclable. By Matt Clark. He is a young industrial designer from Southern California. His IV-1 (for Innervision 1) bike polypropylene frame looks cool!
This bicycle prototype is aimed at improving and solving multiple issues involved in production. Particular attention was paid to maximize the potential utilization of automated processes and more cost efficient materials (IE: plastics).
The bicycle consists entirely of reinforced and unreinforced recyclable polypropylene. The patent-pending bicycle features a two component
frame: the plastic INNERFRAME and the plastic outer structure, both (in this iteration) dual components sets. Ideally, the material would be sourced from recycled plastic sources (IE: previously used consumer products such as bottles, containers, etc) to reduce environmental impact and to reduce material costs.
If any of you have questions or want more information about the design, you can contact Matt directly by email.
