With the name Polimeer, Alessandro Iadarola e Bob Vos develop human-centred designs and services addressing solutions for social innovation and sustainable product development. Polimeer is an entrepreneurial design studio based in Amsterdam, NL and works independently as in collaboration with NGOs and the private sector. We design and self-build our projects combining modern digital manufacturing technologies and revisited traditional craft techniques. Our projects are characterized by a strong ethical approach to environmental issue and the criticality of reevaluating discarded materials meeting the needs of innovative business models furthermore stimulating local production. Since April 2015 the duo work hand by hand addressing solutions to postconsumer plastic re-cycling in the area of Amsterdam. Up to now the duo has developed a personal skill-set and processes that enable them to use plastic for the productions of experimental high-end and affordable objects and generate artistic and economical value out of materials that would be discarded otherwise
