Hello, my name is Arthur, or Arturo. I am from the United States, Indiana. I am working with the local university to set up a community recycling center. I would also like to work with the community in setting up a public online shop for all the different home and decor products the various precious plastics business are making. I have been in university for over 10 years. Earning a BS, BSME, MSME, and a MSE, I am currently going for a MBA currently. With a wide variety of skill sets I really hope I can help this community really push the limits and awareness of this mission

Hey Guys. I am Luke from Poland. I started my thing in casting 3d prints. After a while I got into recycling plastics because I had much of filament waste. I made my own plastic shredder from precious plastic plans, and made my own filament extruder. At this point I am recycling the filament I am wasting and turning it to new filament that I use or sell to colegues. Still working on getting new contacts to get PLA 3d prints waste or buy it for low cost from somebody. Just trying to use the waste I am producing into something that can be used again and not to throw it away. (edited)

Hi guys. I love recyclling idea and in 2013 i turned my self for all winter in uk in to offgrid permaculture style kamp. I develop generator that require no electricity gas nothing but instead generate min 2kw energy 24/7. Though that this project will be my stoper before i build electric car with 1000mile range for everybody. Then another idea poped in with another free fuel along lthe way to run vehicle. In thos exitment i stamped exidently on world of antybiotics and cures for many problems ahead while living off grid. All this happened after i decided to devote my life in persiude for Truth which i found in testymony of thousand witneses who lost everything to protect it and many sacryfied their life for it. It was like a holly grail to me. A hidden Treasure that i found. never understand Bible before i started asking questions and looking wholeheartedly for Truth in this mess arround me. I think that at this moment i really wanted to find The Truth. There is multiple haos informattion and it is very difficoult find out what is actually happening not propaganda, and what is going on behind the scenes. It was worth it and now i can share it too. I said this because this is core of my life. I know how to resurect inhabitable place for very little cost, how to sustain your self in marshes, and convert unthinkable in to livelyhood. But in order to develop this piece of land help from friends and money is needed. I am open and honnest and looking all those who are wholeheartedly seeking for Truth. Lets join together in this journey before we meet our Creator and this rooten world completly callapse. You are all welcome on bord. (edited)

Hello everyone. I am Martin from Kenya. I am a creative and an entrepreneur. I love working with metal, fixing and modifying farm machinery and any mechanical or mechatronical contraptions. Yesterday while working for a client, a huge flower farm, I noticed how much pain they're going through to getting support poles. The wooden ones rot very fast and aren't sustainable. They got someone to bring them recycled plastic poles but they were of very poor quality. They couldn't stand straining and broke apart easily. Upon doing research, I realized the market for poles is very huge here. Not only on farms for fencing and crop support, but in the construction industry too. I began researching on how to build strong recycled plastic poles and that's how I ended here. I am happy to begin this journey of helping the world ease on it's worst catastrophe. Plastic. I would appreciate anyone pointing me to the right direction towards making a good extruder for making poles to start with. I wouldn't mind getting someone to partner with on this venture too.

Hello folks! I joined this Discord a few weeks ago but didn't start exploring until today. I discovered PP a couple years ago and have been in love with the idea ever since... kinda forgot about it until I heard my mother-in-law talking about a CBC radio piece about PP (interview maybe?) Mostly I'm a gardener in my free time and a technical writer for a DWeb/Web3 project called Holochain in my day job, but I always have the idea of reusing some of the embarrassing amounts of plastic packaging I throw out. We keep all our yogurt containers to freeze our garden produce for winter (guess we've been treating plastic as precious already), and our plastic recycling infrastructure in western Canada is pretty good, closed-loop, but I'm always intrigued by the possibility of fabricating some of the things I need from waste plastic. Here to learn mostly!

Hi, I'm David from Chile, specifically from Quilpué, Valparaiso. I found the Project Kamp Youtube Channel and really liked it, so I started to search more about you guys and was amazed by the Precious Plastic project and the way it decentralises the plastic recycling process. I really want to collaborate into this project and start developing a recycling community in my local area. I don't really have too much spare time because I'm currently studying "Ingenieria Civil en Informatica" (Informatics Engineer? I think my university call it Computer Science Engineer) at the Federico Santa Maria Technical University, but I'll try my best to push this project forward for a sustainable future. I would really like to create an "all around" facility in my community: a mix workspace, a community point, a collection point, etc, and work with my local government to integrate this within the city, I think it can be done Also, i saw that Carolina Espinoza was Chilean so it got me really excited to know that there was a Chilean in the Team hahaha

My interest in One Army grew more once I saw that you guys are also into modular smartphones.

Is there any one here that have try the machine with the LDEP bags, or have some advises in this topic ? Thank you in advance

Hi 👋🏻 I'm Jeff. My partner and I have a Precious Plastic inspired workspace in Richmond BC. Localized recycling is a fantastic example of circular economics serving local communities in multiple ways, without requiring big diesel trucks. It's about as sustainable as business ideas get, short of a permaculture homestead. The gears started turning at our workspace in early '21 with a shredder, extruder, and injector made by @CitSciWorkshop . This and other Precious Plastic resources are primarily what we use to learn the recycling/production process. Currently, production is on hold as we move our workspace into a 30 ft camper trailer. We're also taking the opportunity to upgrade our sheet press & CNC machine, as well as do a rebrand: changing names from Full-Cycle Sustainables to Sustainable Artisan. I look forward to continuing to learn and watch everyone's progress, as well as tossing in my two cents when I think it might help. ♻😄♻

We are Zambian's Encouraging Sustainable Trade (ZEST) based in Mkushi, Central Province and we have started a small collection point. We have been looking for information on how to process and add value to the plastic and glass we have collected. We have no expertise, and are completely out of our depth and under funded but we are giving it our best shot and with our amazing community and the information provided by Precious Plastic and One Army on how to build the machines is an answer to our prayers. Thanks again. https://www.zestzambia.com (edited)

Hi @PreciousPlastic Kvarner yes it's possible. Probably economically difficult to just survice on the sales of the shredded plastic. I would reccomend you fill out the workspace calculator to see if it's viable. https://community.preciousplastic.com/academy/business/workspacecalculator

I first thought to outsorce the process (incredibly expensive), but now, thanks to your site I'd start thinking to make them by myself. You can find my controllers at www.enthcreations.com ✨ I'd ask some questions later about the max volume of injectable plastics per injection, if there are makers who build machines for others and so on.

I'm Kevon from the twin islands of Trinidad & Tobago in the Caribbean, I learned of Dave & this awesome project back in 2016 & after some years of trying to start on my own without success, I'm really excited at how much the community has grown with lots more helpful resources, thanks for that. But my question is which is the best to start with the collection point or the shredder plant?

Hello everyone, this is Tom from Charleston SC, I'm an amateur astronomer and also I'm with the International Dark Sky Association. I'm working on the problem of light pollution on mother earth. I also want to pass on to the Project Kamp group and other some things I learned as a fire fighter about wildland fires. I hope it can be unfull to all. I would first work on clearing out a lot of the underbrush and old dead growth that provides the fuel for the fires. Also, if you can get with the local fire service to see if they can provide training to your permanent group members that they can pass on to the new member that come to help out. Look into getting some woodland firefighting gear if you can, like water collapsible backpacks with a pump and nozzle, face protector mask to help to keep the smoke out of your lungs , hot shield to keep the smoke out of your eyes, a fire hook or rake that you can be used to make a fire line. My wife and I enjoy watching your show on YouTube to see the progress that your group is making. I hope this little bit of information helps. Good luck.

Hi I'm Michelle. I run a plastic lid recycling program in a special needs school in Perth, Western Australia! We have been working with Remida WA (Jellyfish plastics) and PP Melbourne to develop our program to help our senior students gain valuable workplace skills while also recycling, increasing community engagement and creativity. this year we have raised money through our local Rotary clubs to purchase a new injector that will make our program accessible to all of our students, regardless of ability. I am looking forward to making our own mark in the PP community and connection with other like minded groups.

Hi, I'm Wisse, and I am 17 years old. I currently live in Norway, but I am from the Netherlands. I discovered Project Kamp because several of the founders are dutch, and I know people with similar aspirations as to start such a project. I am very interested in community-building, and the idea to make it fully sustainable sounds incredible to me. I hope to one day buy a piece of land with perhaps an old farm, restore it and live there. Maybe with other people, maybe not. Anyways, I find project Kamp incredibly inspiring, and I hope to someday see the results. Looking forward to seeing the community of likeminded individuals here :)

Also love photography and videography. Ana - my partner - and I are vegan, and trying every day to live with less, as sustainably as possible and do what we can for the planet and the environment. Hope to learn a lot from this community and maybe even help in some way. Who knows maybe we can even visit Project Kamp to help out at some point. (edited)

Would and should it open to the public, I would love to pay you guys a visit! Cheers from out here, Bart 🌿

Hello community! I'm so glad I found you all. I worked in the manufacturing industry in the early 1990s and in the polymer recycling industry turning recycled black plastic into products for county councils in England on a large scale. At that time I also attended white paper conferences on landfill sustainability! - yes 30 years ago!! By the late 1990s I moved into corporate finance, governance and investment banking. By 2004 I swapped banking for developing communities and individuals. My passion for, and industry knowledge of, recycling and sustainability never left me. Growing SMEs and start-ups within the impact investing scene has been home for the past 4 years. I specialise in corporate strategy and governance - international benchmarking (ESG and SDGs) and the circular economy. Looking forward to sharing ideas, sharing my knowledge/time, and connecting.

Hi, my name is Lémec Thomas. I have been following Precious Plastics for a couple years now. I run a Non-Profit Company in Haiti. With the influx of plastic the past couple decades and no true system of handling waste, it has become a sanitary and health hazard, especially in major cities. We are based in a rural town called Fond des Blancs. Growing up there, I rarely saw plastic waste, but now it is everywhere, on hillsides, ravines and in rivers. We are beginning the planning stages of PP shop project. The videos are incredibly informative and useful. I am curious however on how to make moulds.

Hi everyone, I'm from the UK and am just starting out making my own youtube channel called The Low Carbon Project. I am currently in the process of making the first episode which is an intro to the channel. In it we mention other projects that we follow and Precious plastic and Project Kamp are a couple of those. I'm just wondering if I can get permission to use a couple of clips from their videos to lay over the talking, it would literally be a few seconds in the intro. For those interested, our first project is building a 3 bedroom house out of Hemp in South East England, the aim is to bring awareness and show just how bad the construction industry is and how it isn't actually that difficult to change things, we will be tracking and comparing CO2 throughout the project and are hoping this build will actually be carbon negative. The build is going to take about a year and we will be covering the entire process on the channel. We also want to do filler episode showing what other people are doing to help the planet and think Precious plastic projects in the UK (or Europe) could be a good start. Cheers

I don't believe I have the means of creating a Shredder at this time. My goal with Precious Plastic is to do a "Mix Production" if that's what I read, and have a shredder, extruder and a dynamic process for taking plastic waste in my neighborhood, saving the environment and profiting from it. Can anyone sell me a Shredder, Injector, Extruder and so forth to start a small recycling business?

Hi Guys, I m Ricardo and a couple of years of getting crazy with the environmental pollution in southeast Asia, India and Nepal even in the highest mountains, I decided to move back to Germany and start precious plastic here. Is already 1 year since I m home and starting a workspace is not so easy, to the moment we have a shredder version 3 and an injection mold to be finished soon. Apart from a prototype of a collection point in a Creative Hub and a mobile collection point for events and workshops. We can be found on Instagram @preciousplastic.bremen but not yet under the precious plastic map, we still working in a slow force and just one person is more dedicated to the task, the others are family members and friends who do give a hand in most tasks, like the all paper work we are focused to the moment. All my best wishes, we catch each other around here.

I have been watching Project Kamp for almost a year and JUST discovered this discord server (very late, I know!) so I am excited to be part of this much larger global community of sustainable future-minded individuals. I have some ideas in mind but nothing I can put into practice until we have moved to our new location. I am hopeful that in the future I will be able to volunteer some of my time to help out the team at Project Kamp with any manual labor or other forms of work they may need to complete next year 🙂

I messaged them but it seems like they aren’t really keen to support home recyclers- precious plastics put their resources into larger community recycling centres. Might try reaching out again about registering a collection point, I think I need to be patient with plastic collection though (not always my strong point)

I love the idea but for me I don’t have the money or space to launch any of the business plans that PP support, have you made much so far? I hope if I sell some Hdpe products during the upcoming market season and get awareness of what I’m doing I can expand to also work with ldpe, involve more people and expand my moulds and products.

hey everbody. my name is patrick.i'm 31 years old. i'm a german who lives in the netherlands for all my life. but i speak both languages accent free, aswel as very good english. i just sold my house and all my belongings to start traveling in an RV with my dog shanty. i would love to join project kamp for a few weeks as Portugal is one of the countries i would like to visit and get to know allot better. i have pretty much the same wishes as project kamp wants to reach on there property, like living as selfsustained as possible. learn how to live with solar energy only and all that stuff. i think its very impressive what u have build up for yourself in the (in my opinion) short time that you own the land. i'm not very specialized in certain things but more "a jack of all trades". let me know if there is a possibility to join and help the project in the future by being there and getting stuff done. greetz patrick.

Hello everyone! My name is Jak and I live in Burlington, Vermont USA. I really love the concept of One Army—a group of people building a better world in an open source and collaborative way. This deeply aligns with my own personal set of values, and my understanding of how we'll get out of this mess, which is through massively distributed experiments that we share and learn from together. I'm working on technical tools and infrastructure to make that work easier, but I'm also trying to put together the seeds of a physical (and local) manifestation of these ideas, to help kickstart a community here in Vermont centered around open collaboration to solve big problems. And so, in the spirit of collaboration, I wonder: • Has there been any work on how One Army itself could be "federated" in a sense? The focus on OA-sponsored projects (PP/FF) is cool, but how could new instances of OA-type collectives work together across a larger set of problem domains? • Are there any resources or publications from OA about the hurdles of starting a group like this? The majority of my work so far has been self-funded, or working with collaborators that have enough free time, but it is obviously a huge bottleneck to progress. Would love to chat with anyone who is interested. -Jak (edited)

  • No work on this from our side, we are still making sure our own projects can sustain and we have a good online platform to host the communities. When we have our knowledge and infrastructure setup we can roll out to other projects. This should be exciting

Hi I'm Michelle. I run a plastic lid recycling program in a special needs school in Perth, Western Australia! We have been working with Remida WA (Jellyfish plastics) and PP Melbourne to develop our program to help our senior students gain valuable workplace skills while also recycling, increasing community engagement and creativity. this year we have raised money through our local Rotary clubs to purchase a new injector that will make our program accessible to all of our students, regardless of ability. I am looking forward to making our own mark in the PP community and connection with other like minded groups.
Hi Michelle, that is amazing. I am based in Perth too and have been thinking about adding a few of the machines to use when creating art pieces. So great to hear about more people in Perth.

Hello Everyone! I am Jack born and raised in Australia. 29yo and have been spending most of my adult life planning to do a similar thing to what I have seen being done on project kamp! I have been working in and running my own businesses for the better part of 10 years, currently in a permanent WFH position, this past year I have been honing my renovation and building skills whilst accumulating tools and resources and building test items as well as test gardens in my backyard. Having been discouraged from this avenue of life due to the rising cost prices of land here within Australia I set the long-term goal of setting up a community-focused self-sufficient regenerated land living to the side, until I saw Project Kamp on youtube doing EXACTLY THAT. This has driven my passion again and the realisation that it is indeed financially viable as land is nowhere near as expensive as here (australia) and you get so much more for your money! I would love to connect with as many people here that want to chat and explore ideas and options. I plan on purchasing 5HA(minimum) with creek/river and hopefully some established fruit trees within the next year and move onto this land and start building a sustainable way of life. I have been watching all the videos I have found on the youtube and noted all the challenges, the unexpected, and the curious. And I adore the community that is being built with those who are coming onto your land and the locals around. I have dreams where food, water and shelter should not be behind a paywall, and basic access to human rights should be freely available to all. I look forward to joining in with the discussion here and hopefully being able to learn from everyone in here already and in the future stars aligning be able to help out for a few months and possibly join forces to create more similar base camps! Cheers, Jack!

Hello, My name is Marco, I am 41 years old, I am a mechanical engineer and passionate about recycling and energy. In 2020, I won the award for the best machine hack with a solar-powered plastic injection process, with volks.eco. Since then, I have been building my house and my workshop in Portugal, to continue to develop plastic injection using solar energy. During the construction of my house I was able to continue to develop the whole 3D aspect of the new solar-powered injection machines. Today I have the ideas, the 3D models and the annual production calculations. Unfortunately I lack funds to develop, I am looking for financiers to create a production line, SUN FACTORY. If you have any information, I'm all ears. I am fluent in French, English and Portuguese and available to explain how solar plastic injection works.

Hello beautyful people, my name is Moritz, I‘m from germany and I would like to start a precious plastic project in my Community. The idea is, to start a program for a local facility for environmental education. I talked with them and they were very interested in the project. If a cooperation would take place, we would possibly be able to produce the parts for the machines in collaboration with young students in their engeneering training. After the machines are built, I had the idea to do hikes with students, collect plastic in the nature and show them the process of upcycling this valuable material. In the first place it is not my intention to sell products. Instead I find it valuable to do educational work for young people. So they internalize the importance of recycling. Maby in this process, I would be able to start collection points or workspaces and expand the idea, until it will be economically viable. But at this point in my life, I dont have the financial resources to cover the initial costs. So I am dependend on the partners to help me. Now I do have the question if any of you guys have experience with a collaboration partner? It would be amazing if we can exchange some thoughts! #🖐start-here #introduce-yrself

Bonjour José. Demain, je vous inviterai sur le discord francophone. Beaucoup de personnes africaines et francophones nous contactent mais on l'avoue, nous ne sommes pas encore vraiment organisés pour répondre à tout le monde. Cependant, le volet Afrique nous importe énormément et nous devons réfléchir sérieusement à comment vous aider. Je vous envoie le lien demain et on en reparlera. Bonne soirée. Hélène.

Hello all Precious people! I'm Helene, 50 years old and from France. I'm here to introduce the french community composed of several profils (ingeniers, designers, graphistes, makers, carpenters, artists, etc). To be stronger and more efficient, we create in 2020 the ONG Precious Plastic France composed today by 28 workspaces, approximately 40-50 peoples (employed). 2 machines factories (Atelier des recycleurs fous and Crea-Cregy), 10 workspaces that make real production and nice brands collaboration (Nike, Adidas, Organic Clothing, several city halls, University partnership, etc. 1 scientific boat expedition in preparation (Utopia, une mer nommée plastique) And some high level consultants for conferences and formations in circular economy (M. Mme Recyclage and Terravox). And we have a team in charge of translation now that will deliver the all Academy in French for Christmas, youhou ! Everybody in this community is so nice, engaged, and friendly. Lucky we are. We have already organized 2 big annual events (2020 and 2021) to get together and work on the evolution of our movement. It is really a great and powerful human experience. The next big meeting will be in Paris in November 2022. I just wanted to share with you that. Hope that can boost and inspire some of you. #PP Force www.preciousplastic.fr (edited)

Hi! I'm Abayomi from Nigeria. The bulk of plastics blocking our drainage channels in Nigeria is so alarming that it has caused erosion and flooding even in major cities. Therefore, I would want to turn this challenge to an opportunity by recycling those plastics to a useable items. I have read the basics of plastic from the website. However, I still have some questions. I am open for suggestions

Thank you for mentioning this. Unfortunately that is a similar scenario we had in Italy as well this year, so we are trying to avoid a too wide land that we won't be able to get control over. The idea is to plant fire resistant trees as well

The biggest problem in Portugal is a a three callled Eucalipto, i dont know if you have as well in Italy. As you know Portugal is not a rich contry and people to monetize the land , they plant that three its grow very fast and Then They can sell the Wood easy and get good Money. But the scenario is that three is extremaly infammable and detroy your land and land of neighboors, governament has a lot of land and nobody clean. If you have a land with and do not clean, you can get a fine...but another problem is the fine is cheap compare if you pay a guy to go there with tractor to clean... Sometimes its a big nightmare on the summer, you can get 40 degrees easy on the summer on that region. But good Luck.

We also want to create a space where we can use the machines and teach the community how to use them. Ideally, we'd like to produce plastic recycling artisans in our community. I am here to get advice on building this project. We might also be interested in hiring someone to teach students to use and if possible also build the machines.

My name is Quinten (29) and I'm an art student from the HKU (school of arts Utrecht). Specialised in product design. I already have a carpenter degree and have my own company and workshop in the Netherlands. insta: @Studiolokhorst In my studies I constantly find myself using waste or old materials in my projects. When it's not my intention to end up there it seems to follow me around. So I guess I'll embrace it! I build my workshop using only old materials. And it has become a 3 story high playground where I can do everything I want. I build a ceramics studio, wood and metal workshops and a maker space with 3d printers, cnc and laser cutter. I like working with lots of different materials and that's how I stumbled into the precious plastic community. I would like to learn more about plastic as material and like to test what I can do with it. I'm also looking for a place to do an expedition next year from februari onwards. Hoping to join a precious plastic community/workshop somewhere to invent and design cool new things! Send me a DM here or on instagram if you have any tips/suggestions/invitations!

Hi, my name is Eric(21) I am a university student at Liverpool and am currently doing a group project based on precious plastics. There is a group of 12 of us all master students reading mechanical engineering. We are trying to create a circular economy on campus and recycling all plastic bottles and turning them into 3d filament. We will hopefully turn these into prosthetics for kids in need, and sell small gizmos to students to start getting more awareness of recycling.

It's giving me a lot of comfort that there's communities of like-minded people around the world and I've been aching to do something akin to this for a long time. I'm very fed up with my current life situation and never really felt like i fit in all that well in this modern kind of society. Been looking for my own tribe for a long time and I think you guys certainly fit the bill.

Hello from the central coast of California. My student and I (at California Polytechnic State University Architectural Engineering Department) are currently trying to set up testing for PP bricks reinforced with compressed PP sheets to comply with state building codes, however we are building all our machines from scratch in order to get started. I realize the current brick mould requires the extruder PRO but since we plan on running tests on smaller scaled versions before potential production, we are wondering if anyone has any experience producing these bricks from the compression or injection machines as they are significantly easier to build and operate. Thank you for your time 🙂 (edited)

Continued … Our farm is in south eastern Australia. It was a sheep farm for a century to 1998. It then became a tree farm growing plantation P. radiata (for sawlogs) and E. globulus (for fibre). In recent years we’ve started integrating other things - cattle, pigs, firewood, biochar. Not really at the expense of forestry productivity. I believe our climate is similar to Portugal. Many other things in the videos seem a bit familiar. We also face the possibility of catastrophic fire. In another part of our lives (on Kangaroo Island) we dealt with huge fires that turned our world on its head. Thank heavens we were able to insure - and did. But … I recognised the trauma in the eyes of your neighbours when they talked about the 2017 fires and how it impacted them. And - I love your style and willingness to put in sustained effort. Lots of times I find myself thinking their might be an easier way, but young bodies and consistent effort get you to an outcome that does you credit!

Hi my name is Toby, I’m based in Perth Western Australia. I first saw one of the very early PP videos about ten years ago. However only started doing my only plastics work last year after COVID-19 almost wiped my organisation away. We have been doing urban farming and food production since 2012 and I decided last year to shift to plastic recycling. I did some volunteering with Margaret River Precious Plastic to learn the basic systems and processes. Then we launched our own products for sale in April 2022. We have received a small amount of funding to buy equipment and we are now in the process of setting up and workshop and retail space in the heart of the Perth CBD (Western Australia). I have been focussing on using HDPE with compression process. And I’m now interested in using LDPE and PP. so I have joined to community here to hopefully learn more about how to work with these materials and if I can share from what I have learnt that’s great too.

I hope to learn as much as i can from the community so i can put it to practice in Spring next year.

Hello, I am Dan and I am working with several groups in Kenya who are busy removing plastic from the lakes, streams, ocean, and land. We are building the precious plastic shredder. Shredded plastic is used as a small component of concrete. We are also going to build a press to make panels from plastic bags. Key to our effort is we like mixed - contaminated plastic products and solutions - this allows us to collect and process plastic in much much higher quantities and speeds..there is a lot of plastic to reuse!

Greetings from the Oregon Coast, USA! Recycling is challenging in our small coastal community and we also find a LOT of plastic waste washing up on our beaches. I'm curious if anyone has experience (successful ones I hope!) in shredding and re-purposing ocean waste (fishing lines, bouys, beach toys, etc) and takeout food containers? These are the two categories that would likely impact the community the most. Thanks!

Hello, i am working with groups in kenya collecting plastic waste from Victoria Lake, rivers and the ocean. We are able to reuse 100% of what we can recover:). 1. sell the pet, pete, pp if we can. 2. plastic bags of all sorts and plastic laminated with paper, plastic laminated with aluminum (juice boxes) stack up a hole bunch - heat to 330 F and magic..you have a very good looking rigid board! for the other plastics, PVC, thermoset etc. Grind them up and you can add to concrete instead of sand up to 20 % of the volume with little impact on strength. So sidewalks, bricks, etc. do not have much of a strength requirement. this is were we can try and get big users and governments to require 20 % of low strength concrete be plastic..recovered from the environment! here is a link to a scientific paper summarizing the many many many investigation that plastic is OK. plus it save on sand which in kenya is removed from the river! ugh. https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/10/11/3875/htm
The abundance of waste plastic is a major issue for the sustainability of the environment as plastic pollutes rivers, land, and oceans. However, the versatile behavior of plastic (it is lightweight, flexible, strong, moisture-resistant, and cheap) can make it a replacement for or alternative to many existing composite materials like concrete.

Hello from the central coast of California. My student and I (at California Polytechnic State University Architectural Engineering Department) are currently trying to set up testing for PP bricks reinforced with compressed PP sheets to comply with state building codes, however we are building all our machines from scratch in order to get started. I realize the current brick mould requires the extruder PRO but since we plan on running tests on smaller scaled versions before potential production, we are wondering if anyone has any experience producing these bricks from the compression or injection machines as they are significantly easier to build and operate. Thank you for your time 🙂 (edited)

Hello, this is Dan..i am located in California and working with a team in Kenya. We will be building bricks but with "contaminated" plastics. They will never meet building codes for multistory buildings BUT they will consume ALL plastic trash recovered from the environment and provide low cost/free building materials for low income - fast growing areas! Also we are finding a lot of userrs for shredded plastic for use in low strength concrete applications..sidewalks, curbs, culverts, bricks. they can use upto 20% ground plastic instead of sand with minimal strength impact..ground plastic is cheaper than sand AND in many places mining sand for concrete is a disaster! Would like to chat with you on these topics if you have interest. We can use help refining what we do and expanding. Thanks!

Continued … Our farm is in south eastern Australia. It was a sheep farm for a century to 1998. It then became a tree farm growing plantation P. radiata (for sawlogs) and E. globulus (for fibre). In recent years we’ve started integrating other things - cattle, pigs, firewood, biochar. Not really at the expense of forestry productivity. I believe our climate is similar to Portugal. Many other things in the videos seem a bit familiar. We also face the possibility of catastrophic fire. In another part of our lives (on Kangaroo Island) we dealt with huge fires that turned our world on its head. Thank heavens we were able to insure - and did. But … I recognised the trauma in the eyes of your neighbours when they talked about the 2017 fires and how it impacted them. And - I love your style and willingness to put in sustained effort. Lots of times I find myself thinking their might be an easier way, but young bodies and consistent effort get you to an outcome that does you credit!

I think I'll be able to find the initial money needed to start something like this.. but I need lots of help with the plastic side of things. Thanks

Recycled tires make very well for playgrounds as they are impact resistant. Very good for walkways and roads as well! Bit more of a process with the tires as you need to use a magnet to take all the metal out. Recycled turf fields work the best as it is a very very high quality rubber crumb. All soccer fields, football fields, gold courses etc have these replaced every few years and most of the companies just though it in the landfills. The university here was going to donate all the materials from the old turf field but the company decided to just rip it all out and mix it with the mud and take it to land fill, was very disappointed I had big plans for the materials! This rubber crumb can be used to 3d print too like the new airless tires by michellin

Hi! Just an individual from the United States (which sadly feels like a plastic recycling deadzone from my perspective) I've been interested in recycling plastics since version 2 of Precious Plastics, I believe. I kind of discovered it randomly when looking up plastic recycling documentaries. The problem is I can't afford machines, and I don't have the skills to build machines. What I CAN do is basketweave though, but unfortunately no one sells strips designed for weaving. I want to experiment with cutting plastic bottles or other packaging into ribbons for weaving.

ya i'm familiar with nounsdao but I hadn't heard of of the noggles. Would be super cool to see an open source mould for the pp injection machine. I just commented on one of the forum posts

Hey guys, I work for Precious Plastic , we could design the mould for this and then people around the world could make their own sunglasses with plastic waste using our open source injection machine. What do you think? Here are some examples of someone in our community that make sunglass moulds: https://bazar.preciousplastic.com/moulds/injecti...

I have experience in the working field, after getting my matric I decided to study engineering at a private college in Johannesburg South Africa, after a year I realised it was not for me…soon after I got a opportunity to help in repairs to an industrial warehouse where I spent the next 6 months.. when the job was finished I was able to find a new job at a construction company which specialised in industrial and residential flooring, my position within the company was a lab technician where I was involved in the quality control process as well as research and development, after 8 months my time with that particular company came to an end, currently I am not working, however I am a young ambitious and hard working man eager to learn and grow, hopefully this may be the platform for infinity opportunity and growth. Nice to meet you all, let’s chat ! Kind regards Callum.

Hi everyone! Claire from Los Angeles, California, USA, here! I started a mail-in clothing repair business this year called Foreverywear and was VERY happy this morning to discover the new map for Fixing Fashion. I added my studio to the map and am looking forward to meeting other like minded people through this community! I have been volunteering with Patagonia's Worn Wear program doing free clothing repairs around the country for 6 years, as well as volunteering at Repair Cafe's fixing clothes. Those 2 projects, as well as Precious Plastics, really inspired my business to launch. In full honesty, my first draft business plan looked so much like Fixing Fashion, I almost spit out my drink when it launched and I saw the website! 😅 I was happy to pivot my business to meet a different need and I am so glad this project and community exist - there's always space for more 💛

Greetings friends. My name is Yahmez. My upbringing happened outside a town in Northeastern Ohio in the United States. I am interested in too many things I say. From electronics, brushcraft, programming, 3D animation, robotics, and reducing my carbon footprint. I am a 3D modeler, and a CAD drafter. My work spans far in separate sections of the internet, but one of most relevant to this discord is my 'House Renovation'. I have a lot of projects I want to do, and I can't really do those in my parents basement, or in a apartment. I bought a very old, and incomplete house in need of some T.L.C(Tender Love and Care). I hope you can join me on my journey. You can follow my progress over on Rumble. https://rumble.com/v1qo9vi-renovating-a-really-old-house-ep.1.html (edited)

Hi there! I’m Jenn and I live in Canada. I live in a rural area. We don’t have the convenience or having recycling in our town or even door to door pick up. This causes visitors and I’m sure some locals to just dump plastics in the trash. Very little appears to be recycled. That is why I’m so interested in learning from this group and hopefully setting up a plastic shredder and some creative projects or ideas to save these plastics from the landfill.

Hi, my name is Lourenço and I am from Portugal 🇵🇹 . I found the Kamp Project interesting because the land is located near S. Comba Dão and Tondela which is where I usually spend 3 weeks of the summer rehabilitating degraded houses of people who don't have the conditions to do it. I really want to know more about this project!
Nice to have you on discord!

Hi my name is Steve and I have discovered that a community maker space nearby (New haven, Connecticut) has precious plastic equipment. Any suggestions on some ways to utilize the equipment? i.e. what to make from recycled plastic. They have a plastic grinder, compression oven, and injection molder. I am interested in recycling plastic from the community that is not currently being recycled or reused.

You could make some molds for small toys

Or you could get the brick mold and make structures

Hello, my name is Elvin, am originally from Norway but 3 months ago I migrated to Philippines. I have been following One army and Precious Plastic YouTube for like a year, and studied about its different types myself at free time. Am very motivated and interested in cleaning Ocean and recycling plastic! Long story short, I introduced Precious Plastic to local villages and islands, and made a group myself, bought a land and an small ship, I wanna build a plastic recycling facility, here, in our island. I would like to speak with someone about types of plastics and the possibilities of supporting our new developing plastic recyceling community. Please reach out to me whether here in PM or in our official page N.V.I https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089227988907&mibextid=ZbWKwL

Hii everyone! my name is Karan and i am from Punjab, India. i have been following Project Kamp since it was started and i got to know about precious plastic from there only. I'm huge fan of Dave and his skills and the way he interpret things in the videos. I'm currently working with an NGO. We have been cleaning mountains, rivers and forests in the north region of india every sunday from last 7 months. We send recyclable plastic to recycler but we also remove lots of Multi Layered Plastic like chips wrappers and many more from soil and water. No recycler takes MLPs and it is going into landfills. Please let us know what else we could do with it. (edited)

I would accept it as a challenge too just to prove that professor wrong. People have been 3D printing full houses, why can’t we just recycle plastic? It’s kinda dumb honestly. (edited)

Hello, my name is Matti Kemppainen and I am an Architect from Sweden. At the moment I am doing a project in Ecuador were we are gonna provide temporary housing for Venezuelan refugees. These temporary dwellings will be made out of recycled plastic collected in Ecuador. But as our resources are limited we try to find a solution to make the collecting, sorting and shredding, molding process as inexpensive as possible. Something very labor consuming is the sorting of the different plastics. Can one mix different polymers and combine them when melting them? Are any polymers compatible? If one would be mixing different polymers would the end product still have the qualities like HDPE?

Ben - Precious Plastic Ciledug 1/27/2023 2:11 AM
Theres some info on this but i'm not sure where it is. Basically you gotta heat up the acrylic and then stick it in a press. It doesn't melt into a liquid like some plastics, so that's why it needs the pressure. The size of the sheets depend on what size press you have available and also oven or sheet press. Honestly i have not tried this yet but it is on my agenda.

With google translate haha Hi! I'm Guido from Argentina. I have a problem with the shredder, not all the plastic falls but much of it gets stuck and piles up on the side of the machine. Has it happened to someone? any solution? Thank you !
Check the latest drawing there : https://community.preciousplastic.com/how-to/shrpro---20 We redesigned the fixed blades to fix this issue.
The Shredder Pro - 2.0 is an iteration based on the Shredder Pro - 1.0 (https://community.preciousplastic.com/academy/build/shredderpro) With this machine you can shred your plastic into flakes (50kg/h), ready to melt them into precious products 🙌 This version of the Shredder PRO (2.0) solves one main problem: Safety. How? By following the CE ...

Hi Carlos, Tom here from Malaysia. I need help with getting the STEP file for the plastic machines into an editable sketch on OnShape or Fusion360. Is that something you know about?

Yes, of course! Tell me what you need and send me the file and we'll see what we can do!

I want to make this relocation a pivot point in my career, from engineer to [something to reduce fashion waste]. I recently started a youtube channel to instruct and inspire people to mend, upcycle and rewear clothes; and once in the Netherlands I'd like to open a studio to offer such services. If anyone in the area of Eindhoven is reading this and has a similar idea, or has already such studio, or would like to collaborate, reach out 🙂

Hello, I'm Brendan, from Berlin, Germany. I heard about preciousplastics from a documentary online and thought it was a cool project I'd like to support, so I went to the website and saw the suggestion to "start a community point". I don't really have the time to launch one myself, but I figured there's probably already something in Berlin. Can anyone suggest a place I can go to in Berlin where people are recycling their plastics so I can bring mine over (and maybe see if they have any cool stuff I might buy)?

Hey folks, I'm John from the U.S. I'm an artist, handyman, and green building fanatic. I used to work in public safety for our public library district. Now I'm in social services. My wife makes wooden toys that are non-toxic. We're looking at some land here where we will be able to increase our connection to nature, reduce our impact, and try a whole lot of projects that we can't get away with at our current home. I just discovered Project Kamp a few weeks ago and got myself caught up pretty quickly. I've been interested in (and intending to try) a lot of the things One Army has been doing (my wife is worried what I'll look like if I sew my own clothes-- I swear I have some good ideas, even if they're unconventional! 😉 ). I'd love to do more to support Project Kamp and One Army, but my household and our friend network is heavily burdened trying to stave off the threats against true democracy here in America (please know there are still plenty of non-ignorant, progressive, tough and kind Americans in spite of how embarrassing our loudest elements portray us...) Keep up the great work, Team Project Kamp! You're doing awesome things and inspire others to do the same. 🙂

Hello everyone! I am Io and I am working at SCE Apano Meria in the Greek island of Syros. We have a basic Precious Plastic Lab and we are looking for a partner from an EU country to apply for an Erasmus+ K2 programme. Our proposal is to establish a link with an experienced Precious Plastic Laboratory, so that SCE Apano Meria can gain know-how, learn about good practices and be empowered to educate the youth of Syros on sustainability, mainly using the tools of the Precious Plastic Laboratory. We already have a Precious Plastic laboratory but are facing difficulties in creating a stable, attractive, educational program that will attract the youth of Syros and we would greatly benefit from a link with a more experienced laboratory. Our proposal will cooperate with the circular economy educational program, which is implemented by the Environmental and Sustainability Education Center of Syros (a public educational institution aimed at school children). The proposed solution will also meet the need for apprenticeship and internship opportunities for the students of the Vocational Lyceum (laboratory assistants) and the Department of Product and Systems Design Engineering of the University of the Aegean (product design, sustainable design, etc.). We are looking for a lab in a EU country, with experience in Precious Plastic training workshops, able to train us to train others. Also, we would appreciate a partner with experience in Erasmus+ programs. If you are interested, email us at info@apanomeria.org! Greetings from sunny Greece!

Have you checked the map: ?https://community.preciousplastic.com/map Moulds for small items like jewellery aren't hard to make for somebody with machine tools and a single mould would allow you to make many identical items in different colours etc.

Hi Andy! I’m mostly curious about any small scale projects I could possibly try out? I really want to make some pieces/samples with recycled materials but not too sure where to start?
PlasticAndy 3/9/2023 1:17 PM
Or if you want to try something basic yourself it's possible to melt plastic in silicone moulds in a domestic oven, the results can be a bit 'rustic' looking for jewellery items, but make sure you have good ventilation.

Hi everyone! My name is Carolina Carabajal and I live in Madrid. My case is a bit different because I am a sustainable fashion designer. For the past three years, I have MENOStrash where I recycle used clothing in a new biodegradable material. It was a long way but I’m super happy making and creating with the textile scrap. A month ago, I bought a precious plastic machine from a guy to shred fabric, but yesterday, while shredding, it broke and I don't know what to do!! I need help because I am in full production. What happened is that the motor works fine but the blades get stuck when I insert fabric and can't rotate. Could it be that they have come off the axis? Is this possible? Do you know anyone in Madrid who can help me with the machine? I am leaving my email here in case you want to write to me there since I am just starting to use Discord and I am afraid I might not read it. It's caro.carabajal@hotmail.com. You can also find my project at www.MENOStrash.com. It's so nice to have a space to support each other! Many kisses and I'll be reading your messages! 😊

@Regrets12 if the motor spins but the blades do not, it's likely the coupling is somehow slipping or the blade axle/hex rod is broken. You should get a hold of whoever built the machine as they'll have more insight to it as there's a lot of variety to these shredder builds

Hi my name is Peter Jacops I live in Phuket Thailand we started WAWA Creations. We build boats out of HDPE which has a carbon footprint 5 x lower than aluminium and is recyclable not like glass fibre boats of which it is estimated that in the EU only there are 6 millions recreational craft in the thrash. We have built 5 Coastal Cleaners for Phuket, they collect each 300 kg of plastic every week. We have also built 4 river litter traps for Clearrivers they have been deployed in Indonesia and Vietnam. With our leftover scrap and with what is collected by the boats we started a workshop manned with persons with physical disabilities. This mean that we will have to adapt the machines to their needs. We intend to make only planks and flat sheets as we can use these again in the boat building. Any hints or tips are welcome. (edited)

I'm not sure where else to put this. I don't get this Discord structure- at all. With a traditional bulletin board, I'd easily be able to search threads, and there would be a wide range of topical divisions. This seems like a stream of consciousness mess, most all pouring into a few channels, with no clear distinction or good way of referencing whatever has come before. How do I need to adjust my perspective to make good use of what this is? (edited)

I think it is a very beautiful dream to shape your own country and develop it over the years as you are doing. The question I have is, in which countries is it allowed to buy land and then get started? How intensively do you have to deal with the official regulations in advance and what do you have to pay special attention to? (edited)

I am in the final stage (deed signing on 15th of may 2023) of purchasing my own property with a ruin. Many things i saw in the season recap i most likely will have to do as well one way or another, because the property is not ready to move in. One of my questions is where did you guys get the 20ft Shipping containers from @Adrian and @dave ? I have not yet found a reliable company (fb seems full of scammers).

Hello I am Matthias and found Project Kamp on YT (saw the season recap), made contact via email and Julie told me to ask on discord. I am in the final stage (deed signing on 15th of may 2023) of purchasing my own property with a ruin. Many things i saw in the season recap i most likely will have to do as well one way or another, because the property is not ready to move in. One of my questions is where did you guys get the 20ft Shipping containers from @Adrian and @dave ? I have not yet found a reliable company (fb seems full of scammers). Was the delivery included in the price? (edited)
Call the harbor directly! Or a transportation company. I would stay away from Facebook..

Hi, I'm Zeeshan. I am from a small town in Manipur, India. I am planning to start a small recycled plastic manufacturing unit in my area. There is none in my region and I got to know about this from a video on YouTube. I am newbie planning to learn, implement and teach to my friends and family. I was wondering whether recycled plastic products usually have a symbol to indicate that they are recycled or some sort of descriptor for the type of plastic that we need to stamp? If anyone can suggest, it will be really helpful. Thank you ☺

Yesterday, my partner and I watched a video and she was curious about the mission, so we went ahead and read it. It was the second time for me. However, somehow, this time, it just kinda stuck harder. In said video, I think you mentioned you were looking for a web developer. That made me discover your open source project, Community Platform, and I decided to try to start contributing to it! Looking forward to chatting with y'all! (edited)

Hello! I'm Syaz from Singapore 🇸🇬 . Been following Project Kamp since they've moved into their site in Portugal. Life has been busy such that I've not really followed up with things at Project Kamp. Time is abit better now, so i applied to help out at Project Kamp, if possible. My experience is in Digital Fabrication (CNC, 3D Printing, Robotic fabrication) & also in Economics (particularly behavioural economics). I run a startup that aims to bring industrial robotics to empower blue collar workers by developing human-robot collaboration workflows that allows an ageing population of manual labourers in South East Asia to stop the hard work and focus on value adding. (https://cmdr.online). I am also currently learning web development with The Odin Project, looking to upgrade my overall skillset and hopefully be able to contribute to the Project Kamp websites. Not sure how I can contribute or help, but very keen to meet likeminded people to see how we can help drive change in our corners of the world 🙂 Hope everyone is having a lovely day! Edit: I am merely listing down things in case it's of any use. Other things I do: video editing (Premier Pro/Final Cut), photography (digital/film), writing (https://syaz.substack.com), fermentation (https://www.instagram.com/fermentation.nation.station/).

Potentially one SSR can be dead. Turn the machine off and check continuity between points 1 & 2 (240V gate). If you have continuity even with the machine off, the SSR is dead and let the current pass all the time to your heatbands, therefore they are not regulated. Check that first, but it can also be something else.

yeah pretty sure that would work, higher frequencies have better penetration so you could go with 900mhz one, but.. lora is very slow etc, not sure what you are up to, but maybe cheap baofeng UHF radios would be better.. or like directed wifi antenna out of your window for proper internet (edited)
9:06 PM
Actually it depends on how much you need to penetrate, if it's one wall or whole building, it's a bit hard to guess this for sure, but works for like 500m-1km in the city for me

I can't really tell what's your situation (also I'm not an expert in this) so I can just drop you a few ideas - maybe those weird things that transfer LAN over el. cables? if it's the same building.. just a router/phone with a sim card would be easiest.. wifi mesh? (ubiquiti is expensive but reliable).. worst case meshtastic (it's slow, but has a nice python API if you connect a device via usb to a computer and it also has some sort of mqtt integration which is also nice)

Oh okay
9:15 PM
Yea my first idea was one of those usb simcard routers, but i thought maybe with lora i could avoid getting a second data plan

I could say you can put a solar meshtastic node on a light pole illegaly as a middleman but that's a whole project, my main thoughts are that I'd try and do it as simple as possible (4g router with a big antenna or something) so you can focus on hydro

I'm unsure how I could set this up because I'm doing this project alone and I need something small and not too expensive. I have limited experience with building stuff like that but I think if I knew how, I could build a shredder myself. I also have access to a 3D Printer for parts.

If you are in Hamburg or Lübeck, you might want to get in touch with one of the workspaces in these cities
3:16 PM
Building a suitable shredder requires a lot of knowledge in working with metal, you can't build a really good shredder from plastic parts created by a simple 3d printer. Also costs for shredders like they are used in this community are usually above 1000€, probably not the amount that a school can provide for a small school project.
3:18 PM
LDPE however is often used for plastic bags. You can recycle plastic bags or also bottle caps without a shredder.

Hey y'all, I'm a climate activist located in Alberta, Canada. I also work at a library and volunteer to help people use computers (i.e. showing seniors how to check their email and teenagers how to design webpages). I'm one of those people who bought a 3D printer but never uses it because I ran out of most of the valid use cases and am not a huge fan of generating more waste. I'm also one of those people who will hold onto every little piece of clothing and accessories until they are so ripped that they just can't serve their purpose. I'm pretty mediocre at sewing things but given how much I despise getting rid of them, it might be time for me to re-learn sewing. Also also, I have a bit of an obscure interest in what I like to call "apocalypse tech". I'm not exactly a prepper, but I am absolutely fascinated by any technology which can withstand censorship, power failure, EMPs, natural disasters, disrupted supply chains, and so on. So I know a bit about that. (edited)

Somebody already did this with a suitcase, I think it was a shredder and an injector and he would travel around with it, collecting plastic and make 'trash ponies' (small model horses) which he would sell as trinkets to tourists. I can't remember who it was and 'trash pony' seems to be too popular a term to google, but maybe somebody on here will remember him.

My name is Dieuwertje (nickname just Dee), I’m 21 and live in the Netherlands. l’m very interested in alternative ways of living because I feel like the regular system isn’t the best fit and it seems cool to figure out what else could work. I just visited the community Tamera in Portugal. Learned a lot and I’m feeling inspired and motivated to learn more about community-living, that’s why I joined this server. Thank you for sharing your journey with the world! In the future I would also love to built a community, but first I want to visit some more, learn from other ways of living that exist and develop myself spiritually. If anyone has any tips for me to go and visit/experience/travel to, they are welcome since I’m currently exploring what my next step in life could be ✌🏻

Haven't done an intro here yet so here we go. I'm Henry, I'm 14, and now live in the SE US after moving from the SW. I'm thrilled by alternate ways to live including things like this, squatting, permaculture, etc. I've recently became interested in anarchy. Other interests include ttrpgs, fantasy, tech, linguistics, and more. Someday I hope that I can find a way to help free humanity from the oppressiveness of capitalism.

Hello 🖐️ We are Cork Clothes Swap located in Cork, Ireland 🇮🇪 . We run a Fixing fashion station at every swap for people to bring their clothes that need mending in order to show and teach them how to do that mending. Whether it's a pair of jeans that are too long or you have a sweater with a hole in it, we will show them how to turn up the jeans and to darn that hole and many many other types of repairs. Our aim is to encourage people to take up a needle and thread and feel confident knowing that they can fix that much loved shirt or jacket and not have to part with it 🧵 🪡 . Ultimately we wish to keep clothes out of landfill and part of an ever revolving circular world of fashion. Happy to be part pf this community!

Hello everyone. I am dimitris, I am 21 years old, I am Greek and I am studying my first year on International Business at the Netherlands. Because of a semester group project where we have to make a business plan, my class selected to solve a problem in the environment and my group choose the plastic with the idea of a company that takes the unused plastic (the one that cant/wont be recycled) and give them a second life with home products, decorations, gadgets, etc and yesterday while I was doing my research on the stat-up costs because im in charge of the financial plan, I bumped into your beautiful business and i get the idea that maybe is better to invest to a productive unit that will collect and transform the plastic into something.

Being a avid outdoorsman and family man, I'm always advocating for keeping our local beauty, beautiful for the next generation. I used to be a technician for Mercedes and have a minor experience with engineering. I wanted to find a way to connect my love of creation/craftsmanship with my love of the outdoors.

Hello! My name is Aldo, I'm Brazilian and I've been living in Portugal for 4 years. I found out about Kamp's project yesterday, and I instantly fell in love with it. To my surprise we are almost neighbors. During the pandemic lockdown, I moved to the countryside of Portugal with my wife, and since then we have managed an off-grid project for rural tourism. I am an accountant and manager, my wife is a civil engineer and an architect. We have accumulated experience in the last 3 years in the construction of off grid projects, from the bureaucratic issue, to projects with government funding, land negotiations with locals, general construction and much more. I hope I have time to share some useful information as I am a bit overloaded with around 20ha to manage and other similar small projects. For everyone who has an interest in portugal, especially in land and off grid living, it would be a joy for me to be able to help. PS: My native Brazilian Portuguese makes things a LOT easier here. I know how important this can be, and that's why I like to help. See you in the community 😉 (edited)

I someday hope to start my own version of Project Kamp, and would love to someday visit the camp and lend my jack of all trades approach to a few projects. I'm just beginning my journey towards sustainability with my small 1/2 acre lot in the city. Would love to talk design ideas and Project thoughts. Currently working on hugelkultur style raised beds, a 700 gallon water retention system off my garage.\

Hi, I am Maté, working on 15h of land in the wilderness Northern Spain, Galicia, place called Howling Valley, because you can often hear wolves howling here. Currently we're looking for volunteers, workaways and visitors, to help build a thriving food forest and infrastructure. https://www.instagram.com/howling.valley/ https://howlingvalley.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@HowlingValley Since our land is overgrown and wild (very WILD!), I've developed software to help manage and navigate it, using GPS mapping as well as AI. For those here who are looking for a tool that can help them manage land, send me a message and I can give you access, and or you can join whatsapp group with updates https://chat.whatsapp.com/IkmObBxPj9WLtlqrj7xiq4 There's lots to be done here, and we're open for all kinds of collaboration, on the ground as well as remote.

Hi everyone! I am Armond in Dallas, Texas USA. I have been following the group for some time now. I started my recycling company back in 2013. Then left it dormant after 2018. The company will restart operations June 16th. It is called Green Transformations. What I will be doing is implementing a more thorough approach to recycling by ensuring that recyclable materials are diverted from the waste stream for a reasonable yearly cost. The long term goal is to create new products from the recyclable materials collected.

I'm looking also for a partnership in case you want to connect with me guys 🙂 I'm road-tripping back to Portugal at the end of August with my mini car and Brutus (the dog 🐶 🐕 🐽 in the pictures) I have already a place there for a sleeping 🛌 toilet 🚻 - kitchen 🔪 tractor 🚜 😋 but I would like to work on a more sustainability ♻️ way like photovoltaic panels ☀️ improvements in the place, so if you guys are looking for a place to stay in Portugal or closing a partnership there I am also open to help or support any other cool projects - let's STAY CONNECTED 🌍 ...

Hey everyone! How's it going? I hope you're all doing well. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I'm Fizza, hailing from Pakistan, a country that unfortunately struggles with a significant plastic waste problem. Additionally, our overall infrastructure is in dire need of improvement. Recently, I've been pondering on a unique solution that tackles both these issues simultaneously: Plastic Roads! It's like hitting two birds with one stone. However, here's the catch—I don't have the technical know-how regarding plastics or road construction. My background lies in finance, and I've successfully managed a few companies, so I know my way around running a business. Now, the question is, where do I begin with Plastic Roads? If any of you have expertise in this area and can offer some guidance, I would greatly appreciate your assistance in navigating this new venture. Let's collaborate and make a positive impact together!

I love seeing the progress and construction while also admiring just how the environment and the structures look, it's like discovering some mysterious hidden country and becoming enamoured with its scale and views. I hope one day I can start my own Project Kamp style project, as ambitious as it sounds since for the mean time I am a one-man army.

Hello I'm Irilia. I'm working on a Big project of an association called Ceatoz (connect environment AtoZ). But I have to be honest this project is so big that I will need some help. The project will stay in the European union because of the force of the European union in the world, but also because of the project work. The first structure of the project will need 100 pay members + more than 1k benevolent. The project will be paid by European grant and donations. The first part of the project is to find the person able to design the first building of the association, everything is important, the sustainability the comfort, but also the fire resistance of the building, everything have to be design from scratch to get the best of every part. The building have to be off grid even if it have also to be accessible by the public transport. This project is made to be open to the maximum of people. (Will redo my presentation later) (edited)

When you want to make products using more advanced Materials (e.g. industrial waste), drying your granulate is a necessary step. We will show you how to dry your granulate before extrusion cheaply and effectively, which is especially important if you want to make high quality products like 3d printing filament. You can check out our How-To vid...
In this how to we show you how you can recycle plastic waste into 3d printing filament. There are some things to watch out for and different machines needed to make for the best results.

Hello everybody! Not new just new to discord. I have been apart of the precious plastics community since back when the first YouTube video was posted. I’m currently trying to work with an investor to start a recycling and production facility in Austin Texas. I want to produce structural grade building materials. To do so requires mixing fiberglass in with a plastic. I also want to 3D print homes.
I am new to discord as well and am located near Austin. I am just starting out and would like to see how my efforts can fit in to the Central Texcas recycling picture!

@Drew W so far things are going accordingly. I have set the agenda based on 3 phases. Phase 1, acquire 31 contracts, figure out the best way to handle operations, explore partnerships, and invest in the workforce. (Brief explanation) Phase 2, is about constructing the workspace. Phase 3, open storefront.

Previously i managed to purchase a big plot of land in the jungles of Cambodia, it is almost 60 hectares in size and features 2 hill-tops. so far we havebt build much besides a simple shelter, but we managed to do some site studying, making a map by drone use and capturing the wildlife by trap cameras, we captured (on camera) plenty of exotic animals, like the Leopard Cat, a Green Magpie bird with a Snake in its mouth, and more interesting things! (you can see some of these on our IG: @kiriwild ) I am much inspired by Project Kamp, and the plan is to kickstart a similar but different in other ways project next year!

Hi all. First of all, let me express my respect for your achievements. I discovered "precious plastic" a few years ago and I'm impressed by how the community extended. This is really inspiring for my current project. A bit of myself. Born in Belgium country side and farming environment, living in Belgium in a small village with more cows and horses than inhabitants, I studied engineering and worked over the last 25 year in IT industry for large companies and institutions. I adopt the permaculture principles in my everyday life since years (actually this was not real change from what I lived when I was young) while working for high tech using AI, machine learning, and big data... Over years, I found more and more that this 2 worlds that seems opposite have lot learn from each others and may complement to help creating more sustainable ways to live. If tech and even high-tech is used with respect of permaculture principles, it becomes appropriate technology and make our world better.

Hi there! 👋 Watched the Season 2 recap of Project Kamp yesterday and felt inspired! (Think I watched one or two videos before, in an earlier stage but I guess it didn't hit me in the feels as much back then). Have a background in sustainable business and technological innovation, with a focus on electric mobility and renewable energy. Currently work remotely as content marketeer and community manager for dClimate, a start-up focused on building open infrastructure for climate data. Our products enable climate risk assessments, improve integrity in carbon credits via digital MRV solutions, and are related to other themes within the Regenerative Finance (ReFi) movement. Last year I built a camper van and I have been experimenting with van life/digital nomad lifestyle since May. Bought a piece of land (0.4 hectare) in SW France that I like to develop with ecological and permaculture principles. Trying to learn more by visiting and volunteering at various projects. Will be helping out/volunteering at the Traditional Dream Factory project (also in Portugal) in Oct/Nov this year, which is the first 'ReFi Village' in Europe. Would love to drop by Project Kamp for a while in the first half of 2024 to help build out the next phase! (edited)

Hi Everyone! I feel a bit late but I discovered today the Project Kamp and the One Army Foundation and got so inspired! I worked 3 years in Germany as an architect and process optimization & implementation engineer before deciding to take a break from the corporate world and go back to my outdoor roots and to my family in Italy to figure what I really want to do next. In general I wish to use my next months to create a sustainable remote job while converting my van to a camper and then explore around and support auto-construction, land regeneration and permaculture projects. Would it be possible to join you all in Portugal this autumn/winter when my house on wheels will be ready? I am super flexible in any activity that requires support, from restoring the ruined houses to clearing trees/bushes to design and plan new projects, as well as to make pizza 🍕 🙂 Moreover, I am extremely curious to learn how you built the whole ommunity, starting with Precious Plastic and how you sustain yourself. A dream of mine would be to actually start a very similar project in the mountains of my region in Italy (Romagna). (edited)

Hi I’m Duncan from the UK I am running a project in Kenya called the Nandi School Project. Love the way Project Kamp is presented and would like to do something similar at our project near Kapsabet, Kenya. We would like to touch base with anyone to help with video production and planning and offer free accommodation and meals at the project in return. The Nandi School Project, a transformative initiative, draws inspiration from Project Kamp's sustainable off-grid community in Portugal. The project aims to raise awareness through captivating videos showcasing its unique model of self-sufficiency and community-oriented commercial ventures. Since 2016, Duncan,Petra and their team of sponsors have made significant strides in constructing the new school. However, their motivations have evolved from a tentative "let's give it a try" approach to a more thoughtful strategy. To enhance effectiveness, they've developed a dynamic project plan, incorporating self-sufficiency projects like a biogas generator to fuel the school kitchen, rainwater harvesting, and renewable energy production all of which they would like to document on film.. Their vision extends beyond academics, as they seek to instill entrepreneurial skills through commercial endeavors like a school farm, farm shop, plastic recycling and cashing in on the eco tourism boom. The engaging video series will also highlight various aspects, including construction planning, eco-village creation, and the stories of those contributing to the project. Despite inevitable challenges, such as local authority involvement and children leaving to tend to family needs, Nandi School is determined to inspire positive change through education, history preservation, and empowering their community for a sustainable future. Want to know more? get in touch to volunteer for onsite or remote working opportunities. nandischoolproject@gmail.com (edited)

Hello all. My name is Adam. Two years ago a Precious Plastics club was made at my university. Since then we have made an injection molder using a design provided to us from this very discord server I believe. I am now the president of the club. We are looking to get some molds for our injection molder (our university already has a shredder), but we are unsure whether buying or making or own molds is cheaper. Additionally, we hope to eventually make an extruder.

In an interview with the producers of Smart Wool socks, the host and business owner mused about the environmental impact of socks; the producer reflected that the market for their socks was limited by the practical limitations of shepherding- for everyone on the planet to own a single pair of their socks would require all arable land be dedicated to raising sheep. It strikes me, sympathetic to your wish, how common such a dream is- and how completely beyond the means of our over-taxed planet. The cost of independence is why most of us aren't, and is the price that would necessarily be paid- by the planet -were we to act on this dream. While I laud the spirit that motivates Project Kamp, were the 4,400,000,000 people living in urban settings to set out for the country and bucolic isolation, our planet would be even worse off than it is today. What we very much need is more sustainable cities- those great machines for sharing resources -not greater distribution of people across the landscape. Rather than abandoning our mistakes in a back-to-the-land movement, our collective well-being requires the values of the land to be brought to us urban dwellers, fixing what we broke.

"its clear to me its pissing in the wind in the grand scheme of things sadly even though it helps in the moment." This is fundamentally untrue. Our problems were not all created by one person, and they will not be redeemed by one person. If you require heroic results to act, you've consigned yourself to failure.

This is why I called it a “quest towards” 🤗 I think sustainability is more a path than a target and I like that they are approaching the topic without an answer already set in mind. I like that they are trying stuff, documenting it and then “let’s see what happens in a few months/years”. I like that they are making plans and sometimes changing their minds. But I think the fundamentals are all there: community living, sharing knowledge, taking care, enjoying the process.

It makes me hopeful that if we persist in our efforts that we will find the right people for this space. Part of my hope in writing an intro here is so that if there are people in the Texas area looking for an inclusive outdoor restorative community, we exist 🫰 and the other part is this hope that we can grow into Project Kamp: Messing with Texas.

The easiest, most accessible UV protection is carbon black- essentially, charcoal dust. If you don't care to manufacture it yourselves, others do- but discover how they produce it, and from what: stuff like mill tailings usually contain a lot of toxic stuff. (edited)

Hey, my name is Asher, I live near Sydney Australia and i'm a senior high school student with a keen interest in technology and sustainability. Ive observed a problem at my school that i want to fix for my year 12 project. Instead of having a bin for rubbish, a bin for recycling and a bin for compost in each classroom/around the school we only have a rubbish bin. I find it baffling that no one has thought to change this considering we have a permaculture garden at my school and many engaged, sustainability interested, young minds who would surely love to help fix this problem. Part of the problem is peoples' attitudes which leads into my solution: I want to organise a green team at my school to change the way people view their rubbish, change the way we as a school manage our rubbish, and turn our trash into treasure. I was thinking, as part of our first mission together, the soon to be green team and i could divide our bins into 3 chambers using cardboard or something similar and label each compartment with its correspondeing rubbish type. This way we don't have to find funding to acquire 3 times as many bins for the same amount of rubbish. Although we have a garden that could definitely use the compostables I am not yet sure how we will make use of our recyclable materials but i'm sure this group will be able to help and hopefully in the process i can contribute to other peoples' initiatives. Im excited to be a part of this community and talk to you all. Im on school holidays for 2 weeks so i'm free to keep in touch and brainstorm some ideas and discuss potential plans that can be both beneficial to my school and other community-members' recycling schemes.

hello, im maria from central Spain. I came to this area that is losing population and bought a little summer house with 0,2 ha of land. I work from home in computer stuff, and I have been fixing the house because it was abandoned for 30 years and not prepared for winter. It is almost ready! I have my solar array, good windows, insulation almost ready, hot water. This summer I also got an induction plate and a small split AC. I thought I will not use the AC much, and was planning to use it more in the winter, but this summer has been so hot before installing insulation that I used it a lot. For the moment I am a bit tired and I basically live in a construction site 😄 But I need to finish plastering the living room before the real cold. I am plastering with mud and the combination external insulation + internal thermal mass is starting to be perfect. This is my 3rd Autumn here and it is much more comfortable. I hope I wil use less firewood this year. I am trying to reduce my footprint but it is hard to go against the current, especially when I have to negotiate with contractors, they love their concrete and foams. Even the guy that sold me the AC didnt understood why I was bothering with the efficiency certificate!

Hello! My name is Clare and I live in North East Cumbria in England. I work in sustainability and have recently heard about Relic Plastic in Lancaster. That website lead me to Precious Plastic, which led me here! I'd love to start a community up here, start collecting, shredding and remaking waste plastic into new and fabulous long lasting valued items. I guess the first thing I'll do is visit the factory in Lancaster 🙂 Anyone else in NW England interested too?

HDPE should incorporate UV stabilizers when employed with constant exposure to the Sun. The most accessible is carbon black powder- a less than perfect solution where heat gain/loss isn't desirable.

I'm not aware. While no authority, I believe consistent parts would require a rather fine plastic grind- so, possibly a traditional grinder featuring large wheels.

Hi everyone! I'm Jessica, and I am located in NE Florida. I am a senior at the University of Florida and I am currently doing a project for my writing class structured as a recommendation report regarding sustainability in the workplace. I work in a place where we go through an overwhelming amount of LDPE #4 bags, and this is unfortunately a company-wide issue. With almost 350 stores across the US and Canada, it is adding up quickly! One the PP website, I saw that HPDE, PP, and PS are the best suited plastics for recycling, but to ask about other types. Is there anyone with experience recycling LDPE? I'm really just looking to gain some information about the PP company to see if I could use it in my school report as a viable solution to our plastic problem, then maybe refine it to actually send to our corporate office(s). Thank you in advance!

Thank you for replying Rory! I just watched the video from the PP website about making marbled products with LDPE bags, and it looks dare I say... pretty easy! Our bags are a bit thicker and more durable than regular shopping bags, do you think the process would still be relatively similar with just melting it down and shaping it?
Avatar
Rory - Sustainable Design Studio 10/23/2023 6:07 PM
Thicker the better, as it means you have more material per bag. Making the whole melting process a little easier. These guys make speakers from the same process if I am correct. https://gomi.design/
At the gomi studio, in Brighton, we've designed a unique portable speaker compatible with bluetooth or AUX, made from recycled plastic bags for an amazing look.

Wonderful! These are large bags that hold 20 pounds of bird seed, so I feel they would even be suitable for a shredder since they are thicker.

I would love for our corporate office to get in on this company-wide, but even if I could encourage the store I work at to pursue this recycling process, we could take the bags from at least the stores that are nearby, then sell the recycled products in the store!

Absolutely LDPE bags can be recycled, and I think they are good material for Precious Plastic gear and techniques. Mixes very well with HDPE too (some monomer), and pretty well with polypropylene, if you wind up with intermixed material.

Hello amazing earthlings 💚 Thisis Pacho :). I studied biology in Colombia bc I was always astonished by the beauty and diversity of my country's nature. However, I ended up working in the pharma research as a data scientist in Germany because that was the most direct way for me to achieve financial freedom. After 4ys of working, I quit my job and spent a few months in India doing a TTC. I learned Vipassana meditation and, finally, finally!! became vegan, which, as many of you might agree, feels like one of the best decisions I've ever made. reconnecting with that original feeling, I came to Portugal to work in an animal sanctuary on a similar (though much smaller) project to yours. Your project is truly inspiring! 🌱 while I am here I was wondering if there are plans to build a support network of similar projects, perhaps starting with the closest ones, allowing for a direct exchange of experiences and advices to help growing this beautiful vision

Hola Álvaro, yo también vivo en un pueblo pequeño. Yo estoy en la España Vaciada. Comencé a pensar en Precious Plastic pero al final pensé que en mi pueblo no había suficiente plástico para hacer una prensa, y cuando le pregunté a la gente de alrededor si querían mi plastico, todo el mundo tenía ya suficiente plástico! Yo creo que por aquí podría organizar a la gente para juntar plásticos y luego llevarlos a algún sitio, por ejemplo tapas de tetrabrick. Porque mucha gente baja a Valencia o Barcelona muy seguido. Pero no sé dónde mandarlos.

Hi everyone! I hope this message finds you well. 🙂 My name is Orchida Ahmed, and I am a design consultant with a keen interest in material experimentation. I graduated earlier this year. I am currently involved in a project to develop materials for a startup called Up-fuse, based in Egypt. Up-fuse is a cult brand and social enterprise, established in 2013. Central to Up-Fuse's mission is a dedication to sustainability, craftsmanship, and social responsibility, especially towards underprivileged women in Cairo. I am reaching out to seek your expertise and advice on a specific challenge we are facing. Our specialty lies in upcycling plastic bags into tote bags, wallets, and various other products. While our final products are aesthetically pleasing, we are encountering an issue with the durability of the upcycled plastic, which tends to wear out significantly within a year or two. The plastic sheets are created using the traditional method of stacking discarded plastic bags and applying heat to merge them into a thicker material. We are actively exploring potential solutions and consulting with experts to strengthen the plastic sheets we produce, aiming to extend their lifespan to 3-5 years. I am writing to inquire if you could offer recommendations on additional materials, such as laminates, sprays, or finishing liquids, that can be applied to the plastic sheets to enhance their durability and longevity. Any insights you can provide would be immensely valuable to our project. Thank you in advance! https://up-fuse.com/

A bit of a re-introduction, having posted here for sometime as "Mavigogun". I started my recycled-making in Istanbul, focused on paper, inspired by the likes of Debbie Wijskamp's pulp furnishings and vessels. I developed techniques and processes for serial part production utilizing recycled paper, but became disillusioned by what was a materially consumptive process delivering composites that could not be easily recycled, if at all. Confronted by the state of our environment, the question "can I" has battled with "should I"; how in good conscious to create anything in a world overburdened by creation? Self satisfaction and expression fail me as justifications. If I could do away with the binders and pigments and fillers of my paper pulp process... Plastic answered. Plastic made precious- things to be preserved, not discarded, the justification coming in the quantity of plastic sequestered. My goal isn't just to offset a portion of my personal plastic liability, but to remove the product of multiple life times of consumption from the waste stream indefinitely... as though all those plastic things were never made in the first place. My ambition to "Unmake Plastic", my justification for creation, action. Now based in Houston, Texas. (edited)

I also have 2 questions regarding the sheet press.. 1. Would the sheet press work fine for stacking plastic bags and merging them together? or is it only built to work for plastic bottle lids? 2. What is the purpose of the cold press? Why must the sheets go out from the sheet press and go into the cold press? What role does cold temperature play in the development of the final material? Would greatly appreciate it if anyone can answer any of my questions, thank you so much in advance! 🙂

Most (not all) "disposable" plastic bags are either HDPE (schedule 2) or LDPE (schedule 4), and melt nicely into sheets or beams. The challenge with abjuring significant pre-processing of bags (shredding/extruding/pelletizing) is handling. Some folks who don't alter the shape before applying heat pre-melt the bags into the mold using an oven, or manually iron one sheet atop another. Consider for a moment that a 10 kilo pressed sheet might require ~1818, 5.5 gram plastic bags! I've seen a press of non-PP design featuring high clearance using a deep pan mould filled with relatively unprocessed bags; the process struck me as time consuming and labor intensive. More than pre-processing? I can't say. The sheet press can address a wide range of plastics. Keep in mind that each plastic has its own pressure and temperature demands, and there may be considerable variation within a schedule of plastic. Some plastics pose a hazard to people and machines when melted, and should be avoided. The "cold press" is not chilled- rather, it is so called only to distinguish it from the heated press. When plastic leaves the hot press, it continues to organize crystalline structures, shrinking in volume; this results in distortion. Because geometry and cooling is not uniform, this organization is not... well, uniformly organized, and the part is susceptible to warping and surface irregularities. The 'cold' press encourages uniformity by applying pressure and more even cooling as the part organizes/stabilizes. (edited)

Hey Everyone, Hope you all are doing well. My name is Alec Rybarski. I am a current senior in college at Stevens Institute of Technology and I am heavily involved with a plastic bottle recycling initiative for the school. Me and a group of 5 other students are looking to build a fully automated water bottle shredder and plastic extruder. We have a very limited budget of $700 and only until early in the spring of 2024 to complete it. We are a dedicated team, putting a lot of effort into this project, but we have found the cost and time constraints to be very limiting on what we are able to do. I am reaching out to seek advice on how we could complete this project given your expertise in shredding and extruding plastic. The specific issue we are having now is with the shredder. I found the shredder V2 in the “How-to” secion of the precious plastic website, but I have concerns about our ability to source sheet metal, process it, assemble it, modify it and test it given our time constraint. We have been looking into buying a prefabricated shredder to modify, but the cost for any we have found has been too much, or the shredders have not been up to the standard we need to extrude. Any help towards our goal would be greatly appreciated. In the spring, we will be presenting our results of our project. If you are interested in what we are doing here is the link: https://www.stevens.edu/stevens-innovation-expo Thank you so much in advance.

If you have talent but not money, then time is your resource: find a shredder at auction. Searching for SIT, it seems you might be in NJ; there are many auctions in the industrial North; you might be able to source a shredder for under $500- of course, that wouldn't include transportation and refurbishing expenses, a supporting shop space and any power outfitting, plastic washing capacity, storage, etc, etc. Then there is the extruder, your ambition to integrate and automate these systems, and to do all that on $700... by Spring. From my perspective, your want exceeds all reason. I suggest first aiming your 5 person dedicated team, one and all, at the task of raising more funds. Think of money as just another tool on your list. You want to extrude plastic? You need an extruder. You want to shred plastic? You need a shredder. You want machines? You need money. Like an airplane, you can't just forgo parts that pose a challenge and say "we're going to build it without wings". (edited)

Hey Christopher, I appreciate the response, we have a dedicated machine shop where we can build the extruder system and shredder (minus cutting the sheet metal parts) for no cost, given we have the materials. We have been developing a design for this system for the past two months and we are ready to fabricate the mechanical subsystems. We have a current design for the extruder and have been working on it, but the shredder has been difficult given the cost restraint. As far as sponsors go, we are exploring many industry sponsors who want to reduce their carbon footprint, but we haven't received funds yet. We cannot dedicate the team to just raising money as there are design milestones that we need to hit in the meantime. Additionally, we have the DXF files to cut the shredder parts from sheet metal, but we don't have a laser cutter or water jet powerful enough, nor do we have the sheet metal. I thought this method would be the cheapest, so I was wondering if the community had any resources for finding scrap metal or a place that might support our efforts and machine the parts as a "sponsor" of the project. Alternatively, I was wondering if maybe someone had a shredder, or parts they made and have no more use for. Any help or advice in that category would be appreciated. As far as the project "not having wings" we are not trying to build a perfect machine by spring, but rather a proof of concept. I would like to have a functional extruder and shredder by then, and I believe that with a little more funding and some resourceful spending, we could achieve something for the spring and hopefully build off of it afterward. I was really just looking for some sort of advice from people who have been on a tight budget trying to build an extruder and shredder, and how they overcame it. (edited)

On your scale I would go for the cross cut paper shredder route. Shred just the shells and get the rest back into your local recycling stream. (edited)

Hi everyone, hope everybody is doing fine My name is Andrés Del Busto and I'm a Mechatronics Engineer from Panamá. I'm about to start using my first shreder machine but I got a couple of questions: 1. Is there a specific way to wash each plastic? Let's say for example I took a lot of materials from cleaning a beach. What's the correct method to clean them up? 2. I imagine the answer is a yes but, is there already a way to clean up material after you shreder it? Sounds a lot easier to clean it when is reduced than bottle after bottle. Thanks in advance!

A few observations: you'll see a mix of approaches. Some sheer larger pieces before washing and filtering for metal. Some do a prerinse or agitated float bath before an initial shred. Some plastic enters and leaves the shredder wet, followed by centrifugal drying. I reckon this is why some bother with the expense of stainless steel box, blades, shaft, etc. Typically, there is a gross wash to remove accumulation, followed by an agitated float bath. I'd be loath to not wash plastic from the beach out of concern for salt and silica entering my shop and machines. Many people start off by using a domestic clothes washing machine or dish washer to clean plastic, cut open as necessary. Some folks avoid bleach and other chemical containers, as the plastic may be imbued, contaminated even after cleaning, posing a liability when shredding, melting, or machining. There are a few guides and machine builds over at the PP How-To page- find one such here: https://community.preciousplastic.com/how-to/low-cost-washing-machine-with-water-filter-system There is also a washing-specific board, here: https://discord.com/channels/586676777334865928/824026136408358912 (edited)

Hello, I am here to turn PP into beautiful public art to hang all over Texas. Through the art, I can create awareness. I live in San Antonio, but get around all over TX pretty easily. My main goal is to take a more organic like sculpture (flowers, bugs, leafs, etc) and mold them for PP injection. However, I plan to use silicone molding reinforced with fiberglass or metal plates. I worked at bronze foundries when I was in college, and we cast objects in wax via the injection process. However, we used silicone molds which were reinforced with fiberglass to keep the mold from expanding when injecting. Anyone ever try this? This would open up tons of opportunities for the PP world. Especially because silicone molding is DIY friendly and only takes a little amount of time. The pricing is much lower as well. Thoughts?

I've seen examples of successfully casting plastic in silicon moulds- but pressed, not injected; the entire silicon mould is heated. The most I was able to elicit from the maker was an image of the mould; if I can locate the reference, I'll include it here. The prospect of reinforced silicon injection moulds is exciting. You may find a PP board dedicated to Texas, here: https://discord.gg/UYBSCjW7 (edited)

Cool Thanks! I think we used a slightly tougher silicone but the outer edges where always flat so we could reinforce the silcone block with walls of thicker and stronger material (wood, metal, fiberglass). These walls do not allow the silicone to expand upon injection. We kept the pressure low, but it always worked. I remember we made a special wax consisting of melted crayons and wax used to coat pizza boxes. It worked so well. Thanks for responding!

Hi, my name is Clara Brooks and I am attending college at Grand Valley State University, Grand Rapids MI, in the United States. I’m working on a project in my Social Product Innovation class, trying to create a project to help life underwater (Unesco goal # 14) in Fiji with water pollution. I’m collecting resources like information and panel members by reaching out to groups and people. I’m specifically looking for panel members who can help with plastic pollution affecting life underwater, people who know about life underwater, or anyone else who is passionate about the topic and would like to help me with this project. For the panel of people who would be interested and willing to make a small time commitment throughout the upcoming months to work with me as I’m developing this project. Please let me know if you or someone you know is interested and their contact information.

Hey everyone, my name is Jari, I'm from the Netherlands and just finished my bachelors degrees. Sitting inside studying physics, mathematics and programming has me craving to go outside (wild)camping for a while. Weekend-long rock climbing excursions tickle that urge somewhat, but I've been following project Kamp sporadically since the beginning and realized that I would be thrilled to join the project for a couple of months during my current gap year. I know that applications won't be looked at until January, but is there someone I could ask some more questions?

Hi There, My name is Chandar. I live in Amsterdam, where I've just recently completed the construction of 36 sustainable and cooperatively owned houses together with a community of 50 (check out: https://dewarren.co/) .I've joined this Discord because in 2014 we stared a small community spot in the Algarve called Toca do Coelho (https://tocadocoelho.eu/), and we are researching the next phase of the project, namely one of cooperative ownership. I hope to learn from the experiences in this community, especially within Project Kamp.
Welcome!  Toca do Coelho is a small open community / farm of minds, soul & agroforestry hugged away in the mountains of Southern Portugal. We open our arms & hearts to you & welcome you into this social movement of

Hello All, my name is Andrew. I'm an entrepreneur in Minnesota (Northern USA) building a company doing spreadsheets and training. I've been pondering and ideating a lot lately about sustainabilty and was delighted when I found Project Kamp then Precious Plastic on youtube. So fun to see the integration between the projects and the wholistic approach to sustainable living at the Kamp. Looking forward to seeing updates over the winter. Sounds like it'll be quite different from the weather in my winter here!

Hi everyone, sorry if this is not the right thread to post, years ago i have bought the sharp end of the shredder, but i have never got the motor and the small part to join them together, i remember on the tutorial i was reading somebody put a link on this motor on Amazon but i can no longer find it. I am so worry that i am going to buy the wrong one, does anyone knows how can i find that link again or suggest a new one? Thanks a lot 👋

Hello everybody, My name is Mesco and I live in France and I work in construction. With my brother, we want to make a soap extruder. The principle of this machine is the same as the plastic extruder presented on the One Army YouTube channel, except that the template is larger and there is no heating part. Thanks to various tutorials on the internet, I managed to understand the whole soldering part. But I have more difficulty with the electronic part. I would therefore like to have advice on the motor to use, the connections, the different equipment to protect the device, etc.

Hello everyone, my name is Rabbit, I am from a community Toca do Coelho in the south of Portugal that has been exisiting for 10 years. We are a land based community, living off grid and aiming towards a self sufficent future, creating fun and beauty as we go with aspirations towards becoming an eco-village. We are a core group of around 10 people and a wider community of many more. We are in the process of opening an organization, either an association or foundation or any other kind that we maybe have not explored yet that will allow us to collectively own the land, and help us to formalise our community to allow it to grow bigger and stronger. We are reaching out here to connect with like minded people and ideally gather any advice if people have already been through similar processes. We are keen to come, visit and connect to any likeminded projects within the area or even to have online talks to share experiences. Thank you, sending love.

A few observations: you'll see a mix of approaches. Some sheer larger pieces before washing and filtering for metal. Some do a prerinse or agitated float bath before an initial shred. Some plastic enters and leaves the shredder wet, followed by centrifugal drying. I reckon this is why some bother with the expense of stainless steel box, blades, shaft, etc. Typically, there is a gross wash to remove accumulation, followed by an agitated float bath. I'd be loath to not wash plastic from the beach out of concern for salt and silica entering my shop and machines. Many people start off by using a domestic clothes washing machine or dish washer to clean plastic, cut open as necessary. Some folks avoid bleach and other chemical containers, as the plastic may be imbued, contaminated even after cleaning, posing a liability when shredding, melting, or machining. There are a few guides and machine builds over at the PP How-To page- find one such here: https://community.preciousplastic.com/how-to/low-cost-washing-machine-with-water-filter-system There is also a washing-specific board, here: https://discord.com/channels/586676777334865928/824026136408358912 (edited)

Learn how to modify any laundry machine to enable it for plastic washing without wasting any water drop. This guide will show you how to modify the electric system and add a water tank with a custom 3d printed sand filter.

Hi Chandar, I am Alicia E. I am an architect and urban planning student from Trinidad and Tobago. Your project sounding intriguing and we are right now embarking on something similar here on a horse farm with acreage for tiny homesteads. We are eager to built these homes with recycled and upcycled waste. I would like to see Toca do Coelho as I myself have Portuguese roots and could see ownership in this venture as vehicle to an expat life for our family.

Sounds beautiful! I think connecting with @Rabbit will be very nice and he can introduce you to the people at Toca now as I am currently based in Amsterdam.

Hi Everyone! My name is Davina, I am currently building a Shoe Brand with my Cousin in Indonesia. However, my background is actually in Product Design and I am incredibly passionate about furniture design and waste management (specifically in Indonesia)! My brother and I are in the very early process of creating a waste materials processing company to combat this very big and bad waste problem in Indonesia, so hopefully that goes well! Excited to get to know you all, and hear about different insights and gain valuable knowledge from all of you!

Hi all. My name is Joey and I run a flexible packaging company in Canada. Normally our products are non-recyclable due to the multi laminated structure of the material (PET/PE, etc). I'm hoping to find more information on how to help with the end of life for our products.
QuakerOates 12/9/2023 5:04 PM
Its a shame no-one responded, is there a strategy that can be passed onto factories that want to transition to a environmentally viable process of recycled plastics? Perhaps look into this as a sde project as small business/manufactures are willing to convert to a sustainable plastic recycling solution their business.

Look up Laibach and York eyewear in Slovenia. They have a tremendous amount of waste plastic they simply throw away daily. the shredded plastic will be Cellulose acetate which Mazzucchelli or one of the other acetate manufacturers may be interested in as a base for Black acetate.
QuakerOates 12/9/2023 5:41 PM
Not sure where you got this info that L&Y have "tremendous amount of waste plastic" their CEO said in this interview https://youtu.be/_i2H7uALV8Q?si=D1nobW-z97asyCWn&t=297 that they recycle al the plastic waste.

Hi Everyone, I’m from Slovakia and I work with CNC machines over 10years. This “project” I found a long long time ago but then I dont know experience and time to do moulds BUT about few months ago I found it again and E everything it’s different. I can make your cad models to moulds. So if anybody want something just write me. Thanks to your time. 🫡♻️ One of my first mould for PP Slovakia (edited)

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the 3d printing filament world. I’m buying milk at the grocery store at least once a week. I always take the #2 HDPE milk cartons to a recycle place afterwards. But I hear that these recycles are sent overseas and sometimes dumped into the ocean. So I would love to be able to recycle my #2 HDPE milk cartons into 3d printing filament. (Yes I've heard it's a material that is tough to print with). Here are the issues I'm running into: 1. CAN I BUY A MACHINE? I'm finding it difficult to find a reasonably priced pre-built 3d filament extruder machine on the internet that can handle HDPE. I tried reaching out to Fixtruder to ask if they sold a machine that could turn my milk cartons into 3d printing filament. I was told: "This issue has been discussed in the 3D printing community for a long time. This type of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic shrinks a lot, does not stick to the table, clogs the nozzle, and due to the high shrinkage it has virtually no interlayer adhesion. One of the most attractive recycling options remains PET plastic from drinking bottles." So it sounds like they don't have a machine that can accommodate me.

2. CAN I BUILD THE MACHINE? You'll come across websites like Precious Plastics that say here are the blueprints to make one of your own. So I start looking through the files and I don't know how to use CAD or do any of this stuff, so building my own might be tough. I tried watching a bunch of “DIY” youtube videos. Some of the videos made me realize that I’d have to buy a whole bunch of tools that I don’t know how to use to perform tasks like welding. (Tools that i’d probably never use again). Other videos didn’t include full blown step-by-step instructions. Some don’t even have a talking voice, just visuals that don't fully explain it in a way that caters to someone like me who doesn’t understand what they’re doing in the video. There were some videos with talking, but they flash a quick image on the screen of an electronics diagram and don’t go into full detail about how to build it. Is there a website I can go to, to get someone to build the machine for me?

3. CAN I USE SOMEONE ELSE'S MACHINE TO RECYCLE MY MILK CARTONS? I tried googling programs where I could turn in my plastic milk bottles to recycle companies in exchange for 3d printer filament. The closest I found was printeriordesigns.com but I believe they only collect my filament waste, failed prints, supports and brims. I don't think they accept #2 HDPE milk jugs. I'm located in Georgia and I tried to use the Precious plastics map to see what was around me. I saw a recycling symbol in South Carolina which took me to the website of Anchor Shred & Recycle Co. I'm reading their website but I'm confused about what they can do to help me recycle my milk cartons into 3d printing filament. Ok so I don't know how to build a machine, I don't see any reasonably priced machines to buy and I don't see any recycling places nearby that would exchange my milk cartons for 3d printing filament. Are there services out there that I'm not aware of, that could help me accomplish any of these tasks? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to the world of 3D printing filament.

Hello I am archemedes from Greece and i am a university student. I am interested in making 3d printer filament with plastic trash such as PET, HDPE and PP. The waste management department of university of aegean have allowed me to work with their equipment (they also directed me here). We have a shredder for plastics, an extruder and an injection molding machine. I have made a filament collector and a fan stand. I have researched the topic alot but I have a few issues. First I fund the temperatures that I will need but they are not too accurate. I would like to know the exact temperatures for the plastics. Secondly do I need a special nozzle for my extruder and do I need that machine that secures the thickness of the fillament? If so where do I find it and how do I make it. Lastly, any help would be nice. Pls help
