Hello everyone.
Good to see machines being developed and plastic being shred! Every know and then we see updates coming by all over the internet. We figured it would be nice to add them all on a map. This gives a good overview of all development and makes it easier for people to find each other locally.
However finding and sourcing the people that are building is quite difficult. Let us know if you are working on it or you know someone that is. Lets start and fill up this map!
Let us know in a reply your information and we will add your location!
Project name: (for instance; precious plastic London)
Location: (For the pinpoint on the map)
Topic URL: (The link of the forum topic where you share updates or a site with additional information) Make sure to post a few images with that.
[edit]As you can see we broke our previous map 🙁 BUT we are working on a waaaay better,advanced, cooler, prettier, smoother and more robuust one for V3, coming soon. Help us at next.preciousplastic.com
[edit 2] Closing this topic. The way better more advanced map is ready. Visit here and add your pin! https://map.preciousplastic.com/⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

@davehakkens hey Dave, Sam here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada!
have a green initiative Project called Project Hatchet through Enactus Canada here on my school’s campus, addressing the need of plastic waste on campus, and I just got approved for funding to build the machines you’ve designed to create 3D filament here on Campus! So we are just kicking off to build all four machines, and will keep you posted! Looking to incorporate the homeless population in our city to develop a pay per kg system to create jobs for them! Add us to the map and will be happy to be first on the map for western Canada!
Hi Dave

And please let me know if you need any help with version 3 of the project – I applied on the Money and People campaign and am keen to help out with whatever you need, and whatever can be done from over here in Australia! I absolutely love what you’re doing here and as I’m studying Environmental Science, waste management is definitely a path I’m wanting to pursue.
Thanks again for this great work that you are doing for the world!

Project Name: Precious Plastics Numbulwar – Norther Territory, Australia
Location: Numbulwar, Northern Territory. Australia
This project is support the remote Aboriginal community of Numbulwar, NT. A talented group of Aboriginal women are weaving baskets and other items out of pandanus and salvaged ghost nets (abandon fishing nets).
There is no recycling in the community, the precious plastic machine means they can take their waste and turn it into valued items by using the yarn to weave baskets and create one off furniture, lamp shade etc.
The result is economic empowerment, and a cleaner environment for all in the community.
Engenerring students from Macquarie University in Sydney are about to begin the build.
Can you tell me where I should start the thread for the project updates?
thanks for creating such an awesome machine!
Hi @enterpriselearningprojects, that sounds fantastic! We are down here in South Australia. I think that this thread http://onearmy.world/community/forums/forum/general/welcome/ is a good place to introduce yourself…
Hope it all goes well up in the NT!

Hi PP army,

This project is supported by SEYN – Sustainable Energy Youth Network – https://www.facebook.com/groups/SEYNetwork/
Two friends, Alex Filippidis and Christos Kagis, experienced builders and DIYers, joined forces to build the first PP machines in Greece. Our target is to be able to support, educate and create a new social business around small scale plastic recycling. In this way we can empower communities to take things in their own hands and present alternatives in “human” and community scale.
We have already built a shredder and moving to an extruder, part of the TouchThePast project, which will allow 3 printed copies of antiquities to be “touched” by blind people and kids! And we add into the picture the complete sustainable circle in order to provide the recycled on the spot filament…
