As one of the founders of architectural design firm Overtreders W Reinder Bakker wants to radically change architecture by innovating for a more sustainable future. By making architecture demountable and reusable, by borrowing and leasing materials, and by using biobased and recycled sources, he develops a new perspective on building. The results are delightful, unexpected and functional designs with new contemporary aesthetics.
In 2020 Reinder, together with Hester van Dijk en Peter van Assche, started Pretty Plastic, a company that produces building products from 100% upcycled plastic waste. The Pretty Plastic cladding tiles look great, are easy to apply and last forever. From trash to tile! Pretty Plastic contributes to a circular economy where waste does not exist and resources are used over and over again.
