Plasticiet is a Dutch design and material brand that bridges material innovation and circular design, reimagining waste as durable, expressive, and valuable matter for interiors and architecture. Founded by Marten van Middelkoop and Joost Dingemans, they transform plastic waste into solid surface materials, furniture, and artistic objects with strong sensorial qualities.

Their recycled surface boards—marble-like, resin-like, and richly textured—are handcrafted to a level that demonstrates waste’s potential as a high-end design material. Through painstaking trial and error, Plasticiet achieves consistency and quality that set them apart, creating something precious from recycled sources—materials sought after by legacy brands for far more than sustainability claims.
