 Nope, not this month. Welcome to Monday loose number 19 from this big old abandoned workspace in the Netherlands And this is actually going to be our workspace But I'll talk more about that later because this month actually started not in the Netherlands But a bit more south, so we first need to go back a bit So currently still in Portugal and last week we actually did a protest Against oil drilling in the coast in Portugal and they have never drilled for any fossil fuels And now they want to get started, which is a bit old-school considering there's a lot of renewable energy around So together with Tamera the community I was a few weeks ago We did a aerial art to create awareness around the topic to make sure it doesn't happen and Right now I'm actually in Porto in the north of Portugal visiting Opolab and they built the precious plastic machines and let me show you that workspace We are in the Opolab the Fab Lab at Porto, Portugal and We are one of the the people that are building precious plastic machines. Cool. Thanks to you So this is one of the things you made, right? Yeah, this is a we want to put together a Cargo bike with the precious plastic machines and Actually, we lost here. We bring the machines and now this year we bring this new Concept that actually you can use Paddling using the shredder or you can collect connected to electricity A mobile work. Yeah And actually it works very good. All right Hello guys So we've developed a system where you can you can take old water balls PT water bottles And we kept them into strips and then we can make a long piece of plastic fabric like this Which can be used for all kinds of things just just up to your imagination now. It's a pretty cool Pretty cool piece of fabric with lots of potential and we make them out of junk plastic water balls It's really from the junk. Nice. So this is where the magic happens So this is a Tom Expertise in a building Oh They're going on Tom. I I make precious plastic machines Yeah, that's what I do We have a we have a new set here in the making The compression here is an oven which we found on the street Here we have the extruder. This is the injection machine and This will be the future shredder and you're selling them on the bazaar, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we're selling them. Yeah We do our best now it's it's really fun to Do to share share the machines and to get them as to as many people as possible who want them Yeah, thank you for people who are interested in online. It's nice For us. Yeah, keep it up and pop the good welding work. Yeah, thank you. Thank you, Dave Thank you precious plastic community So you're the bazaar man, right? Yeah, and then you you you should look there for us because Actually, we are selling a lot of machines to everywhere. How many machines that you made so far or so? quite a lot Yeah, probably Getting on top You want to be the the first supplier in the Europe All right. Okay. Thank you. Thanks for showing me around. Thank you for coming and visiting All right, so that was a trip to Portugal and now we have to go back to the Netherlands Yeah, so this place is huge. I mean like So this is actually what we're going to develop precious plastic version for and on next stop precious plastic comm We're asking people to join us here in the Netherlands to develop this version together And we had over 500 people signing up To really come here to help which has been just amazing And I'm always surprised that our views might be not high in these videos But the amount of dedication people have and consistency of really wanting to help That's just been amazing So that means we had to do a lot of skype and just to assemble a good team Which is a nice diverse male female, but also from different nationalities around the world But it's coming together. Hi guys. I'm Alicia. My name's Tim Slav. I'm from South Africa I'm from Berlin in Germany from Moscow Russia engineer in the United States from Paris I'm from Brazil from Taiwan. I'm from India. I'll be working on design with a big extrusion machine And I'm gonna be working on the activism part of the project new ways to sort plastic using robotics and general automation I'll be working on building the extrusion machine do some engineering stuff and build machines and so on I'm gonna be working on finding solutions for plastic. That's too dirty to be recycled I'm gonna be developing a sheet press and I'll be working on business planning my games doing graphic design To build a surfboard and I will be working on designing the user interface for the website I will be chief team fun. I will be cooking food there I'm going to design some products for the sheet press and I'm really excited to know the rest of the team I'm really excited and a mix of terrified as well, but it's gonna be a fun experience. I'm feeling excited So they'll be coming here from September on which is like now, so still some work to do And I've actually been working with Thomas on that like making a plan on how to configure the space and Yeah, well how to really turn this into a decent workspace Which is a lot of work like like a lot like we're really super busy Like no no time to do other stuff I just realized that audio is probably very hollow, right? Let me change the microphone So this month we actually won another award the nature vision 2018 the course field price It's for the video the story behind precious plastic I didn't even know this stuff could win a video, but that's pretty pretty cool Unfortunately, we weren't there to pick it up So we had a member from the local pressure plastic community to go and get there So thank you very much for getting it and we had a precious plastic in Russia teaching put in a bit about plastic And we have a community member making surf fins from recycled plastic to put on a surf board I haven't tested it yet, but it looks beautiful So let me know if anyone tested it and how it works and we have these knots made by a member as well They they don't do that Interesting, but they're very well made and also just super functional from recycled plastic Which is interesting if it just replaces some usually daily objects by recycled plastic instead of new plastic Which makes total sense, but I'll put the link in the descriptions below so you can check them out and In Australia, we have precious plastic Monash Who has been with a super big group of students? Are these students? Yeah design students Working on creating this mobile recycling plant, which contains the machine so they can recycle on the spot and move around But they've just released a very nice video But they also do everything very properly and thorough because they have a lot of manpower available and they just it's just interesting to look at So I'd highly recommend check it out link in the description below and that's it for this monthly news Now I have to get back to work to fill up this space and turn it into an actual workspace and If you're here during the Dutch design week, which is the end of October the place in the middle of the center So we'll just open up our doors and we will be at work But you can just walk around and see what we're doing have a chat have a lunch So if you're around to make sure to drop by if not just follow the monthly news Especially next month because that's the one where we should be able to show you how we convert this empty space Into a fully operating workspace with actual people from around the world in it Thanks again for supporting
