In a world that needs fewer landfills and more solutions, Material Mínus delivers. Developed through a collaboration between mmcité, and the innovative minds at Plastic Guys, Mínus is more than a material—it’s a statement. Crafted from repurposed fishing nets, keyboards, refrigerators, and televisions, it transforms waste into a resilient, recyclable, and affordable material built for the public realm. Less plastic in incinerators, less carbon in the air, more thoughtful design for cities.
“Recycled plastic has earned its place in our material palette alongside metal, concrete, and wood. We’ve been searching for a truly circular alternative—one that gives new life to materials otherwise discarded,” says David Karásek, CEO and lead designer at mmcité. “Plastic Guys’ energy and fresh approach to material innovation resonate with us. Watching them grow, we’re proud to help open new doors for them in urban design.”
“Developing and testing Material Mínus with mmcité took over a year, and today we know it’s built to last through every season,” adds Ondřej Venclík from Plastic Guys. “We’re now scaling up production to create the largest recycled plastic panels in the world—panels that remain repeatedly recyclable. This breakthrough ensures long-term sustainability and makes Mínus a cost-competitive alternative to conventional materials.”
Currently, Mínus is featured in the Morse, Morse Dot, and Orbit collections, bringing comfortable, enduring seating to urban spaces. But this is just the beginning—mmcité is set to introduce Mínus across both existing lines and upcoming launches.
