Gijs Schalkx redesigned an abandoned car to run on fuel made from plastic waste. The de-refinery converts plastic waste into fuel and is installed on the top of the car, making the vehicle independent of fossil fuel infrastructure. It celebrates the power of DIY and the individual agency it brings.
