 A while ago I received this, an award for my plastic project. The project was about, well, plastic. The material, which is everywhere around us. Turns out it's actually quite easy to recycle, but sadly this isn't really happening. Most of it still ends up in the wrong place. I figured it would be nice to have a set of machines that can recycle plastic waste, locally, so we can turn our waste into new things. I decided to make these machines and melt some plastic. The shredder chops the plastic into small pieces. The other machines heat, press, shape, mold. All you need to create new products. Oh, and the blueprints are shared open source online, for free. Which means everyone in the world can download and rebuild them to set up their own local recycle center. I made the first version of these machines, a proof of concept. Not perfect yet. But to push this project forward we need to upgrade the machines. I've got the space, tools, lunch and material to make it happen. Unfortunately I haven't got the knowledge or time to get this done myself. So I'm donating the prize money I won to someone that can. A job offer for your machine builders out there. Ten thousand euros to develop them. In January and June, in Helmont, the Netherlands, visit preciousplastic.com for more information. And don't forget to share this video with your friends, they might be up for the job.
