@davehakkens,

When should we celebrate Precious Plastic birthday? I guess this could be a thing around the world now, when we either:

1. Party to celebrate Dave, his creations and overall current success of this project.
or
2. Organise world plastic collection day at local PP branches, that could be a good publicity move?

Haha I dunno. Officially they got online

Version 2.0 24 March 2016
So we turn 4 in October 🎉

Have you thought of developing an app for this site?☺️

Dave, I always admiring your works!

One question I want to ask you. Do you feel interested in paper waste recycling?
If you do, I will feel very excited if I can help you to brainstorm the idea.

Regrads.

Hey Dave!

Hello from Los Angeles! I think your machine tutorials are amazing. Unfortunately I’m not very skilled in the construction aspect of “Precious Plastic”.

Here’s my question: If I can get the plastic to a similar size and density as the shredder produces, then theoretically I wouldn’t even need a shredder…right?

Hi Dave!
Just wondering how you found your time at DAE?
I went to the open day there a few weeks ago and it seemed amazing! Also do you have any tips for the application procedure?

Thanks for being a great inspiration!
Sam

@davehakkens,

Hi Dave,
In one of your videos there were bouldering stones attached to the wall in the workshop I guess. Tell us about that. Who boulders and whether you think these stones can be made out of plastic? Like PC or ABS? And could you test it at your workshop?

@fxdennypradana Do you feel interested in paper waste recycling?

I’m interested in every type of recycling! However I need to keep focus, otherwise I get nothing done.

@leesam007If I can get the plastic to a similar size and density as the shredder produces, then theoretically I wouldn’t even need a shredder…right?

How would you do that without shredder?

@smhdsn Just wondering how you found your time at DAE?

Loved it! Intens but fun!

@jegor-m In one of your videos there were bouldering stones attached to the wall in the workshop I guess. Tell us about that

Yep all plastic with aluminum casted moulds. Video coming 🙂

Not i the planning, but that could change soon!

Hi Dave, This may have been asked but unable to locate…..Will you be looking at designing rotational moulding machines sometime in the future to add to your existing compliment?.
Would add plastic tubing or piping to possible output and a multi tilt rotational moulding machine would make small 3d hollow plastic creations quite easily with gas being the main heating source.

Monthly News #5, 4’30”, I like these blue plastic fish! Do they have a use or are they just decorative? Is there a CAD file for them?

Hi Dave!

First, I’d like to waste a bit of your time to congratulate and thank you for this amazing project of Precious Plastic. 🙂

I have a few questions regarding your “wind oil” project.
Are there blue prints or instructions available?
A farmer friend of mine wanted to produce oil out of his rapeseed (we’re talking tons of seeds), so I’m curious on how to upscale. How long does it actually take to fill a bottle? Would it be best building several machines or increasing the size of one? I’m also wondering if wind power would be reliable enough or if it’s worth using (if not an engine) man power from motivated interns.

@dave
Hi (from Zambia 😉 )
We are planning a new project in schools in Zambia to get students building, recycling and sharing. The school we are starting with already has a relationship with a UNHCR refugee camp not far away and we want to get them involved too. We also want to get the help of some big companies to get us started, such as First Quantum Minerals.
This is the beginning of something we hope to make very big. We hope eventually our project will spread to schools all over Africa and the world.

We’d love the support and collaboration of your team, how can we get in touch?

Fynn

@williamward Will you be looking at designing rotational moulding machines sometime in the future to add to your existing compliment?.

We actually used to have this machine in V1, however applications where a bit limited and the process was a bit tricky using (older) recycled plastic.

@andyn Monthly News #5, 4’30”, I like these blue plastic fish

Some guys at Adidas made them for a workshop, let me ask if they would like to share the file 🙂

@sharma-sagar hey @davehakkens could you tell how Matthias was making those long blocks of plastic for making stools using extruder, coz it all seemed witchcraft to me😂 can you share the mold, if that what it is?

Yes video of the process coming soon! We first ened to test out a few more things 🙂

@fynn This is the beginning of something we hope to make very big. We hope eventually our project will spread to schools all over Africa and the world.

Sounds like a good project! Best to send a mail to hello@preciousplastic.com

@calyppe I have a few questions regarding your “wind oil” project.
Are there blue prints or instructions available?

Unfortunately I haven’t got the blueprints of it. Would still love to do it so people all over the world can build a wind-oil themselves. However at the moment i can’t find the time to finish this, would love to though. So for now I won’t be able to help you out, sorry!
