The mission of our collection is to release 10,000 Pimoggy Plastic Miners all over planet earth. These Pimoggy’s will recycle metric tons of plastic annually. The existence of Pimoggy’s will promote behavioural changes in people to support better plastic waste management for a cleaner future.
This roadmap outlines our goals and how we will grow Plastichain; We’re in this for the long haul and have set clear benchmarks.Once we hit a target sales percentage, we will begin the real infrastructure work needed to accomplish our stated goal. We’re also constantly generating new ideas through our team outside of the projected scope. Good ideas always attract people who will help them grow. That's why it's so exciting to embark on this adventure with our ever-growing community.
Real stories are worth sharing. The pinnacle of art is being able to tell a story without written language. Our teaser event will be accompanied by the recycled works that our founder Sevincy has produced over ten years which refer to the impact of plastic.
“An Exhibition in an Office: It may not be the first of its kind, but viewed from a different angle, showcasing robots in an office speaks volumes about the future. However, it's not just the robots themselves that are on display; at the entrance, we see sweet representations of plastic materials, waiting in line like disciplined soldiers, seemingly ready to enter the exhibition.Why are they waiting? Perhaps they are making a reference to the last seventy years of the world we live in, which has been inundated with plastic material. Who can forget the phrase "Los Angeles: United-States of Plastika," coined by the Egyptian so- ciologist SamirAmin in the 1970s, which highlights the pervasive nature of this material? The abundance of plastic bags that sur- round our world has become an ecological crisis, and we must find ways to rid ourselves of them. Wasn't it plastic that we wanted to eliminate during the 2019Istanbul Biennial, curated by Nico- las Bourriaud under the theme "The Seventh Continent"?Indeed, plastic is not just a material that we seek to remove from our lives; it has also become a way of life that we must strive to escape.”

There is a robot finger in this case!
The plastic waste problem is one of the biggest problems of our age, like climate change and junk data. So, can robots be a part of the solution? Can plastic waste transact our digital wallet? Are the screams of animals the songs to the age of toxic plastic?
Sevincy is coming to Ayvalık and Küçükköy with a giant Plastic Bomb, 3 monkeys, an owl, arhinoceros and other robots for HANDSHAKE V 1.0, which will shape the future and where you can find answers to these and more questions. The robots will be developed in Sabancı University Küçükköy Creative Technologies Workshop in order to use sustainability and artificial intelligence opportunities more effectively against the climate crisis.
Here, HANDSHAKE V 1.0 will be in Ayvalık to carry this message to all intelligent being sand, above all, to people. Yes. There is a smart robot finger in this case… We look forward to sharing this exciting development with you and discussing what we can do together for amore sustainable world.
Pimoggys have huge potential as physical works of art outside of their utility as plastic mining “banks’. Our Pimoggy Piggy Bank shares sustainably designed using recycling and fabrication techniques. We collect cheap non-biodegradable waste to construct our line but that’s only the beginning. The next line of functional sculptures will be produced from more durable carbon fibre material. We will also work to provide the energy consumed by electric LED lights by adding special panels to our artworks.
The hope is that one day all that will remain of humanity's toxic dependency on plastics are these beautiful and unique works of art.
We are preparing to introduce Plastichain at COP’29 which will be held in Azerbaijan this year.
One of the biggest challenges for recycling are the non plastic components often included with plastic products such as paint, chemicals, labels, tags, etc. The amount of these non plastic components can even differ in products produced by the same manufacturer. This lack of standardisation makes recycling nearly impossible as they reduce the quality of the final recycled plastic material. We will enact an initiative to require plastic product manufacturers to curtail non recyclable materials in their products.
Begin production of custom “side” collections. We want to cooperate with companies that market their products with plastic by designing a corporate Pimoggy for them. Imagine seeing beloved characters come to life as Pimoggy’s. Wouldn’t it be incredible to feed a Jigglypuff Pimoggy?
We are very ambitious! Our game scenario and design will be LEGENDARY!Stay tuned😎
Your Pimos will come to life and integrate into an amazing virtual open world! We will collaborate with major platforms in the Metaverse (Sandbox, MANA, TGC etc...) to accomplish this. Every owner will have access to this special living world with their NFT.
Pimoggy wanted to invade Los Angeles as soon as he was born! Sevincy was very upset about the lack of plastic recycling bins and the large number of homeless people in LosAngeles in 2015, despite the terrible rapid consumption. This disappointment is what led to the design of the Pimoggy robots. The Pimo would feed on plastic, and the homeless would empty the plastic waste accumulated in the Pimo and sell it to recycling facilities to earn income. We hope that our Pimo army does not miss a single plastic cup at the LA Olympics.
When these stages are completed, we will take care to maintain Plastichain. Our artist comes from the contemporary art world and is really passionate about this path. She has always been filled with the desire to make art more impressive, impactful, and assertive, and seeks to push limits. We count on your support! We can't wait to see what happens in the future!
