Hi,
My name is Camiel, I'm 20 years old and from The Netherlands.
A little bit about myself:
I traveled a lot the past 3 years to different countries like Mongolia, the USA and Indonesia. And I'm preparing for my next big trip to Bhutan this August. The goal on my travels was to help people a little. It could be helping at a food-bank in the USA or teaching kids the basics on hygiene or English.
A big problem on my travels was the pollution in the cities or even the beautiful beaches I've visited. We would organise clean ups and we really made a different! But than we saw that the trash we've collected was thrown into a hole or river or was even set on fire. So I started thinking...
Back to the idea:
I came in contact with PP and it immediately connected with the idea I have.
I want to recycle my plastic waste and make bracelets and necklaces with it. My thought on the machine I use is the injection and making a mould that creates balls and then I use a heat-pen to make the holes. I will be shredding the plastic myself with a scissors. In the pictures you can see my prototypes. (they are made from wood)
My goal is to make a lot and sell them to my family and friends and use the money to donate to a project that cleans communities around the world, or maybe start my own.
I will keep you guys updated on my project!!!
