“#Dutch students build electric car from recycled material<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n EINDHOVEN \u2013 Dutch students have created a fully functioning electric car made entirely out of waste, including plastics fished out of the sea, recycled PET bottles and household garbage.<\/p>\n

The bright yellow, sporty two-seater which the students named \u2018Luca\u2019, can reach a top speed of 56 miles per hour and has a reach of 136 miles when fully charged, the Technical University of Eindhoven said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis car is really special because it\u2019s made all out of waste\u201d, project manager Lisa van Etten told Reuters.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur chassis is made out of flax and recycled PET bottles. For the interior we also used unsorted household waste.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hard plastics normally found in televisions, toys and kitchen app<\/a>liances were used for the car\u2019s body, while the seat cushions consist of coconut and horse hairs.<\/p>\n

The car was designed and built by a group of 22 students in around 18 months, Van Etten said, as an effort to prove the potential of waste.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really hope that car companies will start using waste materials\u201d, production team member Matthijs van Wijk said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s possible in many applications. More and more companies use waste or biobased materials in the interior, we want to show that it\u2019s also possible to build a chassis out of it.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
