Somehow the servers should be connected to the PP global map need a programmer to chime in as I have only base knowledge. I know a Jhook can pull and push info and maybe make the existing map 2 way interactive with Discord?!, the workshops and individuals even at zoom. Then the servers tied to gether into common channels with filters, ie. message relevance - many thumbs up elevates it to the next larger server etc. would be a possibility?! Right now for example I am looking for Precious Plastic Denmark - how easy would that be to find on a map - where is it here - IMPOSSIBLE to find?

Hello Precious Plastic Community Europe, We, Laura and Louis, are searching for a workshop in Europe (preferably not too far away from Germany) which can host us for a certain period. A little bit about our background, we are both designers and started a Precious Plastic Project last year on Samos, Greece in the context of refugee camps. Corona forced us at the beginning of this year to put the workshop on hold and we havenโ€™t been able to set it back up yet. Louis also spent a long time in Eindhoven for the development of V4. The summer we spent developing an injection product to collect soap donations for refugees on the Greek islands (https://stop-the-water-while-using-me.com/de/social-soap-box). So both of us are fairly experienced with the topic. As we canโ€™t continue on Samos for the moment we looked for an alternative location to continue with our idea. We eventually found this really amazing project called https://habibi.works/ who will host us in spring. They already have a big workshop structure and we imagine Precious Plastic as a great method to provide materials for refugees to work with and enable them to create furniture and everyday objects for their daily, challenging lives. For this, we plan to focus on creating construction materials with the extruder. We have several ideas and techniques we want to test out and develop, but we are in lack of the right workspace at the moment. We are looking for somebody who is willing to welcome us in their space, has an extruder (extruder pro ideally) and some metalwork tools. We, of course, pay for all expenses and can figure out a fair deal. We are talking about a period, between one and two months. If you can imagine helping us please drop us a message! Thanks so much :) Laura & Louis

Hello. My first post so apologies if in the wrong place. I am looking into buying some recycled plastic place mats and coasters made from plastic that has been collected from the ocean. Hoping to buy from a community recycling scheme and then resell online. Im based in the uk. Could anyone point me in the direction of what legal safety regulations there are for such products? As the origin of the plastic is from the ocean and so unknown. Im a newbie so just need to check all this out. Many thanks.

How do you set up a running collection point in Europe, hense we have good collections running by the different localities. In France - where I live - plastics and other recyclable trash are collected separately from other trash. How can you collect plastics for your own project? Other solution could be to raise an project in another country where plastics is literally on the streets. Where? How? Suggestions?
Avatar
Ley Klussyn 12/31/2020 4:48 PM
@alexak I recommend checking the specifics of "plastic collection" where you live, and trying to find some way 'around it'. In Switzerland we actually only collect PET widely (Water, Soda,...). And the other plastic containers (washing detergent,...) can be returned to the seller. However for the latter, I know many people who just throw it away. (I had many bad experiences with sellers not wanting to get their stuff back ๐Ÿ˜‰) So when you "know" the situation, you can find an alternative. In our case, we're looking into HDPE and PP mostly, so HDPE "PET bottle"'s caps (who are supposed to be thrown away, only the bottle itself is collected), and other containers. [For caps : we could easily put a secondary, smaller container next to the PET ones] But we're also looking into reaching out the city trash company, to know how we can "live" together without stepping in each other foot. But it will only be relevant when we're "big enough", now we're more like an "experiment lab". (edited)
Avatar
Hey @Ley Klussyn thanks for your quick reply. That's sound good. Near me we have containers where people can bring back their used pet bottles and get back their deposits. But unfortunately not all bottles have a deposit. Maybe the is possibility to set up a container near by to collect the bottles with no deposit? Right now it's only an idea with a proof of concept
Avatar
Ley Klussyn 12/31/2020 7:17 PM
@alexak Could work yeah, nice idea! However I will add that Precious Plastic machine does struggle with PET recycling as it's more specific than other plastic types. (precise temperature control + humidity issue)
Avatar
@Ley Klussyn well basically I searched for a SMARt product simple, maintainable, affordable, recyclable. My idea is to create roof tiles from plastic hence plastic is very long durable, lightweight and waterproof. And if I get the plastic from trash, my raw materials would be cheap, as well. I found on internet an Indian factory that does exactly this. This is very exciting. Maybe I could use other plastic as well. But I like Pet because it's very strong and not mixed up with others plastics.. But I'm a newbie in plastics so maybe you have a better idea (edited)

CrisLeash ๐Ÿ™ 1/5/2021 12:45 PM
depending on your goal, you can always start small and get few close friends to help you out for beginning. I think the easiest is to join any association that is already into recycling or that is willing to provide a space for a recycling workspace. I'm opening a collection point in Croatia (I'm assuming French people are more aware for the plastic global problem than Croatians, not sure though) but I got lucky to find an association that has conditions to open a recycling workspace, just missing the people to work on that. Here is what we will focus more which is to change people's mindset towards consumption with information and education - sharing is caring ๐Ÿ™‚

I have been wanting to do this for years and i'm fed up of waiting and if anyone wants to join me then its more the merrier! I am so excited to start upcycling my plastic. I am writing to my local primary school to ask for collections from teachers & students and hoping to be able to get machines and build a community space for locals to be involved. These are long term goals but i'm starting here, so if you are interested and from Leeds please get in touch! Follow my instagram @UpcycleLeeds and let's get collaborating!

I likely wouldn't have the time to be heavily involved in a workshop as a regular thing, but I'd be interested in helping out with setup and some of the technical side - I'm also in Leeds.

Hi PP people! My non-profit foundation Clean Climber (www.cleanclimber.com) is looking into shredding and grinding of worn rock climbing shoes to be recycled in Rotterdam (the Netherlands). Can anybody help me out with a shredder and/or grinder to do a sample batch? If yes, please email me at hello@cleanclimber.com. Cheers! Gerard (edited)

Buenas! Soy Marco vivo en Madrid Espaรฑa. He construido la trituradora la inyectora y el horno lo tenemos a puntito. Lo hemos financiado todo con ayuda de una pequeรฑa beca que nos dio la UE.

Hello, I'm Marco and I live in Madrid, Spain. I have built the shredder, the injection machine and the oven. We have financed everything with the help of a small grant given to us by the EU. The original idea was to do workshops with kids in schools and colleges, but the current situation has us stopped.Basically I write here looking for people near Madrid to give me some feedback, exchange ideas and try to make progress with projects related to plastic.

Thankyou for all the information! I have followed every page and found more including on fb 'plastic free leeds' and 'plastic free NW leeds' again... no HDPE but I have put a message on each group to get some feelers about. I have brothers make basic tool ideas such as a mini oven, sandwich toaster and a scroll saw. Getting a press soon and have a huge pile of silicone moulds to go at but I'd rather have people to do it with and more of us bringing in skills and materials. Hopefully I will find an awesome group of people! I love the leeds hackspace you said but they have been unactive due to covid, I hope these will make a great contact in the future x

I agree with "the attitude of circular thinking", but what I mean it's in a developed country, they are already a recycling system in action. For example: I put my empty bottle of soda on a yellow (or blue, or green , what ever..) trash, this yellow trash is collected each week, and my bottle is transformed in plastic flakes. After that some industrial manufacture buys this flake and make recycled products. At the end you could saw a lot of advertisement like " this bottle of shampoo is made with 100% of recycled plastic, or this trash bag is made with 70% of recycled plastic etc..." The circular thinking need money to run, in a developed country I think the DIY recycling can't be competitive compare to the industrial. So is it useful?

well if the recycling industry actually works as it should be, and everything that you put in your recycling bin actually get recycled, then i would say that it wouldn't worth it... there are several documentation stating the opposite though...

Thank for the share of your opinion it's interesting. That show the necessity to have this kind of project in a country without recycling program. I am a newb in the recycling industry, but I like to learn could you give me some references of documentation on the dark side of the recycling industry or the dysfunction of this?
Avatar
sure. there are plenty of documentaries addressing the problem. In "Plastic Wars" you will see about how it is all based on moneymaking, and since money cannot be made it is not worth it... In "Dirty Business : what really happens to our recycling" you will see basically what the title says. There are some storyhopper videos by Hakkens related to this and quite more. It's quite interesting, that even typing "plastics" on youtube, you get more results regarding the problem of plastics ,rather than references to the material and it;s uses...

Hello everyone! I'm from Kyrgyzstan. In our country, everything is very bad precisely in the field of ecology ((many people do not understand how important it is to maintain cleanliness in the country, and they do not know anything about waste collection / sorting points. At the moment I am working on one project where we open collection points in the cities and villages of our country. We open ordinary collection points for recyclable materials, nothing super cool, that's exactly why we need ideas on how to develop this. Introduce an innovation in our project. Maybe someone knows how collection points are set up in other countries ? (Without the use of any machines, we know about this) or maybe in your country they accept recyclables in some other way? By another system? I would be glad to get help)

Hey there, We want to start a Precious Plastic Workshop in Bavaria, Germany and would like to buy the machines instead of building them by ourselves, but the standard machines sold in the Bazar doesn't fit our needs. So, I want to ask if there is a machine Shop in Europe selling the Integration Unit developed by Monash (https://www.preciousplasticmonash.com/machines) or the Smart injector (SOTOP-Recycling, https://ko-fi.com/s/aa1f6633c9). Or if there is somebody who may be able to build some special machines for us. If you're interested and have some more questions, be free to contact me! I'm looking forward to your messages.

Hi everyone! I'm totally new to the injection molding and precious plastics space. But i'm looking to mold some sleeves for a limited run of LPs. Can anyone advice me on where to find a producer, someone to make the actual molds? I'm thinking to just mold the whole cover as one part with typography and graphics embossed straight into the colored plastic. I'm situated in Norway, but anywhere is interesting, i guess. Thank you kindly!

Hey there! I am currently writing my thesis to get my masters degree. I am writing about my startup and how to test it. I produce sustainable psychedelic decoration with the precious Plastic machines. It would be so so awesome if you take part at the survey because I need at least 200 people who take part haha.. The questions are about my prototypes and some general questions about sustainability and decoration :) Here is the link: https://campus.lamapoll.de/Ecoluchs-Product-Survey Thank you in advance โค๏ธ

Hi All, an congrats for preciousplastics . I admit I did not yet read all info for starters but I'm interested ... I have a few young people around with motivation , time and connections (to get the plastics from local businesses) , we have nice storage space with proper tools to move pallets and big-bags. I guess that sorted and shredded plastics are sold on to "upgrade" into useful products . How do you keep that money-flow (as little as it is) legal ?

Very late reply, but did you find any answers yet? I'm from Belgium, regio Hasselt, curious to hear if there are any similar communities nearby. I know of O.666 in Oostende, but that's a bit far for me already. You could contact them for business related advice though, regulatory environment would probably be comparable to the Netherlands. Here's the link to their website http://www.o666.be/home.html (edited)

Hello, I'm French, sorry if there are spelling mistakes, Let me introduce myself, my name is Bastien Poucel, I am a student in the Pro CPI License at the IUT of Aix-en-Provence, I am currently on an internship in a plastics company. My project is to optimize a plastic film extruder (TRAMU extrudate line). I saw a video on YouTube from the "precious plastic" channel, and while visiting their website, I took to the Discord thread to maybe get some answers to my problems. To quickly explain how the machine works, there are 5 parts: the beginning: the big bag, then a silo, after a hopper, an endless screw and finally the exit. To start, we have a big bag filled with plastic sequins, these sequins must be able to be transported to the silo. (1st problem). Then, once the plastic flakes are in the silo, they pass through the hopper and end up in the endless screw. The endless screw will heat the plastic flakes to have a dough, and at the end of the endless screw, the dough is currently falling to the ground, the idea would be to be able to recover the dough, cool it and then grind it. Thanks, have a good day Sincerely, Bastien Poucel

Hello everyone My name is Lisa) I came across with one of the OneArmy projects, namely #PreciousPlastic, almost from its very beginning (app. 5 years ago). At that time, I was just starting my undergraduate studies at the University of St. Petersburg, Russia and did not yet know how much my life and my perception of the would change in the nearest future. After 4 years of studying International Relations, I couldn't stop thinking that I was moving in the wrong direction. Already at the university, I began to spread the ideas of #zerowaste #minimalism and #sustainable_consumption. It has been a year since my graduation and it is almost a year now since I am a Sustainable Development Master student in Sweden, Uppsala. Just recently, I started sharing my experience on Instagram @gr.eenko. Every day spent here, surrounded by the same driven people and the world experts in the field, is defo one exceptional experience. I will be very grateful if you join my path, or just share it with someone who is the same sustainablu-inspired!) All have a good weekend and warm spring days))!!

For the Portuguese speaking people in the chat we have a set of open source flashcards for learning languages but are looking for translators for Portuguese. Thought it would be helpful for Dave and project Kamp to make it easier for him to learn. https://www.darigovresearch.com/universal-foreign-language-flashcards
1:16 PM
@Alexa @pv._ & @Oatzlot would you be interested in taking a look? https://github.com/darigovresearch/Universal-Foreign-Language-Flashcards/issues/53
Portuguese-English has been requested, having the following title names in Portuguese to build out the folder structure would be helpful to begin the translation of each chapter Bienvenue! Bonjour!...

@Darigov Research if you give me whatever words you need per chapter I'll do a run on them, but I'm a newb on github so I'd just write them on a doc and send them back to you
9:09 PM
if that's ok
9:12 PM
or I can simply look at the spanish ones and copy them

@pv._ for now just commenting the chapter titles and additional term translations as a comment in the issue should be enough https://github.com/darigovresearch/Universal-Foreign-Language-Flashcards/issues/53#issue-880590308

That will then help us generate the folder structure for Portuguese. No worries on not having experience in GitHub we made a video explaining all you'll need to make a pull request. It's easier to credit your contributions that way as well https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UWA4wyacY2A

@pv._ thank you very much for doing a pull request! I've merged it and generated the actual flashcards so if anyone wants to learn/revise Portuguese from your work it can now be downloaded from here https://www.darigovresearch.com/universal-foreign-language-flashcards

Would be very happy if you wished to continue as you had done for this pull request as there was nothing to change if you're interested in continuing! Thanks again

Yeah, no problem, this was just a test to see if I managed to commit the first one. I'll pick up the rest of them over this week and commit them as I go

Hey I already asked in #just-chatting but I guess this is a better place to ask: I just finished school and am now looking forward to one year of free time before starting to study (urbanism or sustainability sciences), but I need your help to decide what to do during that year. Do you know any cool activities, projects, internships, courses etc. in Europe?

If you are inside the European Union and between 18-30, you can take part in the ESC (previously called EVS) and work for a NGO for up to 12 months in any country. You can choose which field is more interesting to you (for example, urbanism or sustainability) and see all the options all over Europe. It's volunteering, but you receive a monthly allowance, food and accommodationโ€”the amount depends on the country. I did that in Lisbon during my gap year and met tons of other volunteers working in different areasโ€”highly recommend opportunities like this. https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity_en

Hello. My first post so apologies if in the wrong place. I am looking into buying some recycled plastic place mats and coasters made from plastic that has been collected from the ocean. Hoping to buy from a community recycling scheme and then resell online. Im based in the uk. Could anyone point me in the direction of what legal safety regulations there are for such products? As the origin of the plastic is from the ocean and so unknown. Im a newbie so just need to check all this out. Many thanks.
Hi Richos, Did you end up getting your saftey regulation finalized?

Hello, first of all I would like to say kudos, as I think the idea behind the Precious-Plastic concept is super awesome.... I am in the process of developing a new product and would like to make as many parts of it as possible from sustainable materials. It's about a simple housing as known from the analog disposable cameras. I am now looking for a factory or people who can produce such housings from recycled plastic. We want to turn disposable cameras into reusable ones ๐Ÿ™‚ It would be great if you could help me or give me contacts of people who have ideas for this. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me....

So if you need a helping hand this summer (Europe only) or maybe in the summer of 2022 (Worldwide) donโ€™t hesitate to send me a message!

Hello everyone, I am writing in the behalf of a group of architecture students from the Technical University of Berlin, currently researching on recycling plastic as a building material. In particular we are trying to develop roof tiles from recycled plastic in cooperation with the FabLab of our institute. PP became quickly one of our best points of reference, so first of all thank you all for this great network! In the meantime, our project has already attracted some attention, both inside and outside the university. We are now even at the point of receiving some public funding and perhaps even building a small pavilion in Berlin by the end of the summer. Our wish now is to connect more with the PP-network and maybe even build up some cooperations. Maybe you can contact me here or privately and I can share some more information about our project. The Sheet Press technique is also particularly interesting for us at the moment. We are even thinking about organizing a machine for our FabLab in some way. Maybe someone here has even some tips or contacts for us? We look forward hearing from some of you. Greetings, Matti

Dear Community, I am part of an NGO setting up workshops in the context of the refugee crisis and gathered my experience of PP during the development of V4. For our recent project Re.Works in Ioannina, Greece in cooperation with the makerspace Habibi.Works (https://habibi.works/) we are still looking for a coordinator. Re.Works is a project focusing on using recycled plastic as a material for the creation of daily needed products together with and for refugees. Inside of a shipping container, it is an fully equiped Precious Plastic workspace with many possibilities. The container is placed on the property of Habibi.Works and has by that full access to their workshops. As this project is fairly new, you have the responsibility and possibillity to set up an workspace really helping people on a daily base. What we are looking for:
  • You have min. 1 month time, better more
  • Experiences in working with Precious Plastic
  • Able to work independently
  • Ready to work and communicate with people from diverse cultural backgrounds
  • Ability to develop new products together with beneficiaries and come up with exciting new techniques What we are offering:
  • Included in the daily meals (Breakfast & Lunch)
  • A place to stay in the volunteer home of Habibi.Works
  • A new exciting project, which offers many ways to go
  • Full support from an experienced team
  • An openminded team of volunteers When & Where:
  • You can start as soon as possible for you (even help finish setting it up)
  • You can stay from a minimum of one month up to long term (possibillity even for a samll compensation as commited long term volunteer)
  • Placed in Katsika, Epirus, Greece right opposite the refugee camp
  • Living in the student city of Ioannina, Greece with a young, vibrand life and a beautiful mountain view If we could catch your interest please contact me with a few details about yourself.

Hello together, I'm running the stores at the Bauhaus building and Bauhaus Museum in Dessau, Germany. I would like to present and introduce the precious plastic project within the frame of the annual Bauhaus Festival end of August. Further I can imagine to install a collection point at our store, I would be interested in a shredder and I would love to sell products from the community. Specially plates.

Hey everyone! Some of you might know me, Iโ€™m Matthew, I setup a small workspace in West Cork, Ireland back in 2020 with an injection machine and shredder. You can check out my instagram - @preciousplasticcork. Anyway, I am going into my final year of undergrad product design and I am currently seeking problem areas for my final design project. I would love to do something with plastic recycling as I have a lot of experience with that. One problem area I have been looking into is plastic upcycling can be quite inaccessible for a lot of people. Especially those who would not have access to machinery/funding/space for precious plastic machines. I am thinking of people who live in small apartments and want to recycle on a small scale that is safe and user friendly. However, this is just one problem area and I know there are many more. I would love to create some sort of open source machine/system that embodies what precious plastic is all about: The People!! If you have any suggestions on current problems please let me know, It would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks!

The annual Bauhaus Festival in Dessau is one of the major events of the year in this region. Any support and help warmly welcome!

Hello to all enthusiast here! I would like to post my basic idea about project we could ask for European funds as a research project. Basically, our idea is to develop sheets for industrial use (thickness from 5-35mm), different dimensions suitable to industrial use. To get some extra quality idea is to mix used plastic with hemp fiber. During project period (24 months) we have to find out best way to mix those 2 components and later a complete production system. There is a condition where we have to have a consortia of at least 3 entities from 3 different European countries (research organisations, universities, SMEs, industry, start-ups, natural person). I'm open minded person and I would like to try and maybe we can get those funds. I really see a big potential in many industrial sectors for used plastic sheets reinforced with hemp fiber. Feel free to dm me if you or your company/other legal entity are interested to discuss further more about that idea.

the problem with the hemp is that it won't be re-recyclable

I am looking for someone who could make a second life for fibres from mooring ropes - they are mainly based on PP/PE we also make ropes from HMPE which also is used for reinforcement of balistic material - but as written before any mixing of material might give you challange for a further recycling. But to give a retired product a second life might be better than landfill as today even if it is hard to recycle again.

The EU wants to make a far-reaching ban on antibiotics for all pets and farm animals
8:40 PM
Ban on antibiotics for animals - danger to our animals 134,971 have signed. Next goal: 150,000. With 150,000 signatures, this petition becomes one of the most drawn petitions on Change.org! Peter Enzenhofer started this petition to the European Parliament. Attention all pet owners: EU wants far-reaching ban on antibiotics for animals - danger for our animals The (new) EU Veterinary Medicines Regulation 2019/6 was passed two years ago. The EU Commission, member states and the EU Parliament now have to determine which antibiotics are to be reserved for humans and thus forbidden for veterinary medicine in the future until the law comes into force in January 2022. In mid-July, the European Parliament's Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI) approved a draft regulation submitted by the Commission on โ€œCriteria for the classification of antimicrobial agents reserved for the treatment of certain infections in humans are "matched. Unfortunately, the ENVI rejected the scientific commission proposal, although the proposal was technically coordinated with all relevant (scientific) institutions, i.e. the European Medicines Agency (EMA), EFSA, ECDC, OIE and WHO. The European Parliament will vote on the proposal in mid-September. If the resolution passed by the rapporteur responsible, Martin Hรคusling (Greens, Germany) in the ENVI, now also finds a majority in the European Parliament, then a complete ban on the use of fluoroquinolones, 3rd and 4th generation cephalosporins, polymyxins and macrolides in veterinary medicine would hardly be any more avert. All animal species would be affected by the ban on use, with dramatic effects on the therapy of animals. Exceptions for individual animals would then no longer be possible under the current legal framework. Many bacterial infections in animals could then no longer or no longer be treated adequately. That would have a significant impact on animal welfare in dogs, cats, horses and farm
8:40 PM
animals I therefore support the signature campaign launched by the Federal Association of Practicing Veterinarians (bpt) and call on the EU Parliament to reject the ENVI application and to agree to the EMA proposal so that all approved antibiotics can continue to be used for the treatment of all animals in the future !

I think this is quite an emotional example.

@Aldothegreen85 Since most plastic products are made using some type of moulding process, it is seems a good idea to mass produce your product rather than making bespoke one-offs. It's also advisable to focus on one product at a time and choose something that really fullfils a need or has a strong market, rather than just making something that's easy to make. The bicycle caddy is a great idea, anything to do with bikes is a growing market and shares the green credentials.

there's a good bit of risk as the whole markets not very stable + in low income areas not many people are going to have the extra cash to spend onto something just cuz it recycled or environmental, theyll want what's cheapest or good
2:41 PM
as for machinery get a cheapish laser cutter as it quite cheap, fast and versatile in what it allows you to make. This will allow you to make both parts in small and large quantities as well as quickly on demand-whatever is selling in the market, so one day you can sell one product and the next day another

as for designs there's a huge amount of free or cheap designs for laser cutters and CNCs giving you a lot of choice for what to make and sell
2:43 PM
since youll be looking for cheaper products id advise staying away from the 'PRO' machines for now and sticking to the cheaper,homemade machines
2:44 PM
another thing that is great for you is a 3d printer,you can make a huge variety of things from it and once setup it doesnt requuire much cost or effort
2:45 PM
a simple homemade filament extruder is less the a 100$ and is quite cheap,simple and easy to make
2:46 PM
it also requires very few parts, almost all of which are easily found and cheap to find

there's a good bit of risk as the whole markets not very stable + in low income areas not many people are going to have the extra cash to spend onto something just cuz it recycled or environmental, theyll want what's cheapest or good
very true but there are ways to access niche markets and clients with a good product. The bike thing got me thinking... how about bike stands? like the ones which are usually made of concrete. Town councils have a budget for that kind of thing and are keen to show environmental awareness. Also they would use up a lot of waste plastic each.

exactly the kind of place which needs lockable bike stands! ๐Ÿ™‚ and where the council might be willing to buy a reasonable number as a batch. You can negotiate the sale before you make them.

If you wanted to be really clever you could fit them with some kind of security system, such as a tiny camera or vibration sensor. Or even just a light for night time. That would add a lot of retail value to what is essentially a lump of melted plastic. The tech is very cheap these days if you go with arduino (edited)

If you have a strong product idea and a clear idea of who you are going to sell it to, and you can present the idea to other people clearly, you will find it much easier to gather the right people around you to get the project started.

Why not use the plastic to make the concrete mold for concrete bicycle stands you could then make the stand able to accept lights and other things to make them more saught after. Seen a thing on blippi of all places where they had a bicycle stand for mending bicycles (possibly colarado) seemed really good esp when you see the tools on a wire cord so easy to mend your bicycle when out and about.

@sponsoons no bud the plastic is the mold for the concrete pour after the plastic mold is made its pour and set then you could enhance the pour with plastic features such as lights etc but the beauty of using the plastic as the mold is that it wont stick to the concrete and you can seal it off in a simular way to making concrete counter tops using silicon between join edges. (edited)

Ive made a design for retail planters imagine highstreet stores with their own logo branded planters and directional arrows to guide customers to the store while increasing the greenery in our retail areas. Could even plant up fruit trees to give back to community. Planters made from concrete are heavy planters made from concrete and filled with soil and plants are really heavy so very unlikely to be stolen without logistical issues.

Its a simple mold nothing too advanced but all parts are made from HDPE the void space is screwed to the support posts of the outside box pour concrete in the void space and vibrate using an orbital sander withno paper attached or a cloth insert to avoid damaging the mold. To seat the screws gently heat them with a soldering iron tip and screw a quarter turn in should give tight sealed screws

No they are screwed and siliconed as to remove the finished product you need to de construct the box but all parts can be reused time and time again
11:52 AM
The company logo and direction arrow is flipped and 3d printed and screwed to the board i before construction posts are added all 3d print screws are hidden behind post so no need to silicon seal the slots

Hello, my name is Jhonatan Pรฉrez, I greet you from Venezuela. I am 28 years old, this November 28 I turn 29 years old, I was born on November 28, 1992. I am married, my wife is called Nohemรญ Glod and she is 25 years old, she is pregnant with two beautiful girls who with God's favor will be born this December, We are very excited about the birth of our girls but also very concerned. Here in Venezuela the social, economic, health and food situation is very complex because of the dictatorship that governs us and because of the false collaborationist opposition that keeps them in power, leaving us, the citizens, the people, to suffer more and more. every day for the mismanagement of our nation. The environmental problems of our nation are not the exception, our environment also suffers greatly from the lack of serious public policies against pollution, coupled with the fact that the government promotes mining in our Amazon rainforest and pollutes our rivers with mercury and other heavy metals. From our possibilities every day we fight to improve our environment doing everything we can, especially selecting our waste correctly, polluting as little as possible and recycling everything that can be done, however, the economic situation of my family does not help us, making our task It becomes increasingly difficult, especially now that our girls are going to be born and we honestly do not have all the resources to be able to maintain them. We work hard every day, all day, but right now I am going through bronchopneumonia that does not allow me to work and my wife has a very advanced pregnancy and she is at high risk, so she cannot work either. I have been resting for two weeks and undergoing treatment, thank God I am improving and I hope to be able to go back to work soon, so that I can continue to raise money for my girls who are about to be born.
1:32 AM
I would like to ask you if there is a possibility that you can help me financially to be able to make an EXTRUSION MACHINE PRO machine to be able to work making plastic profiles, since with this machine I could work independently and could support my family in a dignified way. I only ask for the PRO EXTRUSION MACHINE because here there are people who recycle and grind plastic from whom you can buy it, to be able to use it with the machine and make profiles that will be offered mainly to rural agricultural communities to replace the poles they use to their fences, thus preventing them from cutting down trees to make these wooden posts. That is one of the objectives, we also plan to use these wooden profiles to build "paved" roads and highways with these profiles, among other projects we have in mind. I remain at your entire disposal, grateful for any response you can give me. Jhonatan Perez jhpp1992@gmail.com +584121490300

Re.works is looking for a recycling workspace coordinator Re.works is a plastic recycling workspace next to the Katsikas Refugee Camp in Ioaninna, Greece. The workspace is currently located on the grounds of Habibi.Works, a makerspace for refugees and locals. At Re.works, people come and work with plastic according to the Precious Plastic methods. We are looking for one or two volunteers who want to stay for ideally 3 months or more from December/January onwards. You will be coordinating the workspace, collecting plastic, recycling plastic, and guiding refugees and locals in their own creative process. Accomodation and food is included, and after 3 months there is a small compensation as well. If you are interested, contact us by sending an email to reworks@notforyourdistinction.org and include your CV and a short motivation text!

Hi ๐Ÿ˜Š My main question is the (financial) feasibility of the different roles in the PP universe. It seems to me that people creating products can potentially create a decent enough revenue stream, but I don't see how collectors or shredders can actually get around. Does the shredded plastic really sell on the bazaar? Is there anyone really getting by being only a shredder? PP does advices not taking up all the roles at once, but it appears to be a bit of though one to follow.

I run a shredder workspace and sell plastic on the bazar and online to makers and Iโ€™ve not paid off the cost of the machine yet. I didnโ€™t get funding or any grants which I think some do. Iโ€™m doing it to use the waste from my media business and hopefully have the machine paid off within a year .

Hi Tom, thanks for your reply! So if I understand you correctly you don't get any plastic from community points but recycle the waste that is produced in your own company? Could you give me an idea of how much demand there actually is for shredded plastic, which specific types and how much you can make a month by selling flakes? DM me if that's more comfortable for you (and if you're willing to share that info off course). Good you mention grants and the like, it seems they play a major role in the business model of most. I'm super excited to learn how this collaborative network runs, it has a lot of Game B like properties, but I don't understand how the PP universe avoids the pitfalls of classic markets dynamics. Isn't there some form of competition within a local PP ecosystem? Like for who gets the good plastic recycled at a community point, and also whether resources flow back from the makers to the shredders and the collectors.

I donโ€™t mind sharing at all. My main business is selling physical media things like CDs DVDs books online. Inevitably there is some wastage in this process and titles that arenโ€™t worth selling on the Internet. Previously these would go to recycling company but they were very sketchy on where it was ending up which didnโ€™t feel right to me. So I looked into getting a shredder. There isnโ€™t a huge demand for the flakes in the PP community in the uk as I think most workspaces would like to produce their own, also youโ€™ve got to factor in the carbon footprint of any transportation costs. The plastics that I produce are polypropylene, hard polystyrene and some polycarbonate. Itโ€™s mostly clear and black but also colours in smaller quantities. I mostly sell the black and clear to injection moulding / Extrusion companies . How much I process varies as Iโ€™m only 6 months in but Iโ€™d say around 500-1000 kg a month.

Wow thanks for the extensive reply! What's your price per kilo? I tip my hat to the switch you made and the integrity of looking beyond the part where you just drop off the waste at a facility. Sounds to me like running a shredder workspace is a great addition to your business, and we need more business owners thinking like this. It gives less inside to what it means to exclusively run a shredder workspace though (which maybe is not a feasible idea). In my early enthousiasm I was all about recycling plastic from cleanups in nature, but the more I read the more it starts feeling like PP's focus is distinct to this and that the distinction is essential to the feasibility of starting a small scale business. It is probably feasible to run a shredder workspace IF you are connected to a productive Collection point run by volunteers and IF there's a local demand for flakes. The more you start tampering with the IFs, the more the feasibility of the undertaking is doubtful... Am I seeing it wrong? In any case, the fact that there's such great communication networks allows for the boundaries of what is possible to be pushed :)

So as future engineers, me and my coworker had to do a project and we decided to use some of the precious plastic machine's. Our project was to make a precious plastic's machine in Algeria, in my friend's native town. We made everything up for this project to work and know we would have wanted to discuss a little bit with someone who could help us and also made us a check of what we did. It would be very cool if some of you could help me find someone i could talk to ๐Ÿ˜„ Thanks for your attention and your help ๐Ÿ˜„

I only rarely open up Discord tbh, which is probably why I missed this. But I think it would be good to have a more local platform as well, so I'm really sad it's gone. I've never run a Discord server, not sure what it takes to start one, but if we decide to restart it, we should make sure it doesn't just depend on one person. And maybe create a bit more of a team around it.

Hi guys, Not sure if Iโ€™m in the right place here but Iโ€™m wondering if I can get some help. I own a small biz and use a vinyl that is promoted as more โ€˜eco friendlyโ€™ than PVC as itโ€™s not single use plastic. However, I have no idea where to recycle it? I am in the UK ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Hereโ€™s the link to the product if anyone can help; https://www.gmcrafts.co.uk/product/gm-eco-press-black/ Iโ€™d be most grateful as I have a bag of scraps of it now and no idea what to do with it ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Thank you in advance, Hatti x @thecollectivewolf
Avatar
@yeniveev Iโ€™m always wary when companies use the term eco friendly, they normally are not as eco damaging. The product youโ€™ve listed allows the release liner to be recycled not the actual HTV fabric. The fabric is made from PU which because of the bonds prevents it to be recycled with conventional processes. The current only use Iโ€™m aware of this product is to be used as a filler for things like a bed mattress. However I doubt the smaller weeding waste would be suitable. If your trying to be as friendly as possible all I can suggest is to have some standard designs that can be nested into bespoke designs with a box around it. After weeding your left with a box around the standard design as a guide so you can cut out manually, then weed separately. If your vinyl cutter has enough force adjustment to cut through the liner your quids in as this can be done on a second or later pass. For sections that are too small to positon in the cutter normally but you can still fit a design on, you can tape this around the edge onto some old release liner to allow the machine to accept it. Note you may need to use some sellotape on the liner where the wheels locate so save damage to your machine. Depending on your make of machine you may need to use paper instead of a liner if itโ€™s clear, to allow the sensors to register it. This method also works great for standard PVC vinyl. If all else fails offer them to a schools textiles department. Itโ€™s a great product for them to learn and experiment with. Hopefully one or more of these suggestions help.

Hey everyone, I am in the USA and trying to build an injection molder. I am having a hard time sourcing 35mm pipe threaders. does anyone have any suggestions or even potentially be willing to sell me a pipe threader?

Not sure what part it is for, but you may use similar in inch. A little bit more or less should work. 1.5 inch or 1.25 or anything in between for example.

Hello to all enthusiast here! I would like to post my basic idea about project we could ask for European funds as a research project. Basically, our idea is to develop sheets for industrial use (thickness from 5-35mm), different dimensions suitable to industrial use. To get some extra quality idea is to mix used plastic with hemp fiber. During project period (24 months) we have to find out best way to mix those 2 components and later a complete production system. There is a condition where we have to have a consortia of at least 3 entities from 3 different European countries (research organisations, universities, SMEs, industry, start-ups, natural person). I'm open minded person and I would like to try and maybe we can get those funds. I really see a big potential in many industrial sectors for used plastic sheets reinforced with hemp fiber. Feel free to dm me if you or your company/other legal entity are interested to discuss further more about that idea.

I agree with @Falcon that a mixture of hemp fiber with plastic makes it harder to recycle again

so hard it is, the convenience point in industrial recycle, greatest benefit for least effort

so they just choose a thermal dissolution, but for hemp-admixture this is a total loose

Hi everyone! We are Uniplastic, a small organisation based in the Netherlands that collects plastic waste at local shops and restaurants and makes new products out of it by injection moulding. This is all done by people with an intellectual disability to provide them day activities. Unfortunately, we now have some technical issues with the injection molding machine, so we are actually looking for new partners and organisations that could help us with outsourcing the plastic melting. So is there anyone here from the Netherlands who has any tips or ideas about new partners or who is willing to team up with us?

Hello recyclers, got this demand to process plastic waste in different locations -> Hope all is well with you! My name is Jasmin Druffner, and I work at TerraCycle as a sourcing and procurement manager. I am based in the US, but am sourcing for various projects globally. I found your contact via the Precious Plastic website. We are interested in working with manufacturers that can extrude plastic sheets, beams, and also manufacture products with our own recycled pellets (PP/PE blend). Our material SDS sheet is available upon request. We can also send you some of our material for initial testing - please note that we collect material in several countries (i.e. US, UK, France, Brazil, Australia, Thailand, Japan, etc). Please let me know if this is something you are interested in working on together. TerraCycle is a waste management company, and we specialize in recycling 'hard-to-recycle' products/packaging that the cities usually cannot recycle. We're big fans of Precious Plastic, and we'd really like to better understand how we could work together, what your production capacities are, as well as general pricing and lead times. As a next step, it would be super helpful to receive the following information from you: Capability of using our recycled material with your machines (it's a PP/PE blend) Portfolio / Catalog of products you could manufacture with our material Production capacities (for example min. and max. production per month for each product you offer) ,, currently looking for workspaces/recyclers in this areas : England Ireland Belgium France Spain Germany Netherlands Austria Switzerland Denmark Sweden Norway , you can contact her via :jasmin.druffner@terracycle.com or via my email: preciousplasticsk@gmail.com for more info ๐Ÿ™‚ lets empower PP recycling community, and amount of plastic recycled PreciousPlastic

Hey there! Does anyone from THE NETHERLANDS need any plastic bottle caps? I collected them before the statiegeld on small plastic bottles was a thing, for a project for my students, but then the schools closed and the project was dropped. I can ship them to you free of charge. They're 100% clean, regular coke bottle caps and stuff. All sorts of colours.

  • Is there any chance I can can borrow for example a shredder machine for a demonstration so people can see in real life what I mean. More machines are also welcome, would be cool to really make something during the demonstration. (It will be end of may begin of june)

Hey guys, I recently came across precios plastic and I am enormous motivated to start doing something good for our environment. First step would be to build a shredder and experiment with different plastic-types (PP, PS, PET etc.). I am convinced that friends, schools and some companies in my neighborhood would support me and share their clean plastic-waste. Question: Has anyone experienced selling shredded plastics to companies who use plastic-granulate to make products in large scale? I believe their machines make high demands on the ressoruces they use. Or is it easier to build some other precious plastic machines and make products on your own?

doing this is generally not a good idea as costing wise its terrible,a industrial shredder/granulator will often shred more in an hour than a PP machine will in a day or week
7:35 PM
which means even if you are getting the plastic in a free and clean state(quite rare),the cost for processing will make it hard to compete with any industrial guys

Rory - Sustainable Design Studio 3/2/2022 7:55 PM
@Jawshhwa Great question. Although I have no experience of war, I used to work in Disaster Response. You have 2 directions to focus your attention on Refugees or Recovery of the country. Recovery is separated into 3 phases. Immediate (First 30 days), Short Term (1-6 Months) and Longer term recovery (6-24 months). The needs change drastically in these phases. The first phase is water, food, medical, clothing and immediate shelter. Second phase is education facilities, Medical facilities, homes, religious places and final is everything from the first two phases but converted to permanent structures. For refugees the process is slightly different and focuses more on phase 1 for longer. For refugees, battery packs, lights, bags, phones, clothing etc are useful and can be "recycled or repurposed". For rebuilding (in phase 1 and 2) Tarp Clips, Beams, anything shelter related can be valuable. However its important to note Ukraine is a cold place right now, so providing warmth maybe the most important thing, everything else is material. What ever you design, make, send, try and make sure it focuses on the bottom of Maslows Hierarchy of Needs if possible ๐Ÿ™‚ Happy to jump on a call to help support you if I can.

I do and sell the plastic on the pp bazar . The problem with the big companies is there have much more contamination and also only sell by the tonne. So for small makers this isnโ€™t good. So as a small scale shredder workspace you can make clean plastics separated by colour etc and cater to the craft and pp designer market . I also sell my un processed plastic to the large companies but itโ€™s a lot of work for the price they pay and have to save it up till Iโ€™ve got over 500kg of either clear or colour or black. I hope that helps .

Hi everyone! ๐Ÿ™‚ For a new project the customer would like to have purple polypropylene. Do any of you have purple polypropylene flakes? ๐Ÿ™‚
I think mostly general some lactosefree milkproducts or a popular choco-brand with a cow, same as a cat-food designer possibly uses that colour, but not sure if they're exactly in PP-materials?

well if you need a workspace just let me know, we have a shredder, sheetpress, injection etc. ๐Ÿค™
so in case that you'd be okay, maybe I could inspire some neighbors or maybe you could pin a paper of OneArmy to local grocerystore's walls where people offer stuff/looking for specific ones, in some districts are also similar blackboards for sharing projects there & if there are materials needed for your machines, maybe I could unite some people?

Hello, I'm completely new in his community. I started to build a shredder. I cannot find at what distance the 'mesch' that determines the size of the flakes should be from the 'knives'. How important is this?
10:17 PM
Or should I ask above question elsewhere?
Avatar
I have seen that answered somewhere and yes, it is an important measure. I really have to go by memory and i cannot recall exactly, the mesh has to be placed somewhere between 6,7,8 mm from the knives

Hello everyone, I am planing to organize a workshop in which people are able to do a whole cycle from shreddering the plastic until they got their new recycled product in their hand. What I want to know from you guys is, how much time do i need on average to complete a production step? The production steps/used machines are:
  • Shreddering
    • Extruder for 3D-Fillament
  • Print something with 3D-printer (I guess something not that big)
    • Injection to produce spinning tops or cups
    • Sheetpress to produce Clipboards or Coasters
>> How much time will it take to cool down until I got my final product? Could you please help me and name me some estimates? That would be fantastic ! Thaks a lot !

the injection comparitivley would be the fastest,saying you shred ~15kg/hr of plastic,and each top is ~80-100g,youll take about 10-15 minutes per top

why not slicing plastic by hand/scissors before melting e.g. if using a bottle or something less durable (or maybe a manually papercutting-machine slices them into pieces as it's metal there)?

Hi everyone..I was just wondering how people in European countries with a deposit scheme for recycling are encouraged to bring plastic back to a PP workshop or collection point rather than bring it to get their deposit back? Does anyone know of any such initiatives to make local residents/communities bring their plastic to PP spaces rather to the deposit scheme of the government? Something similar to the Pfand system (incentive for collection programme in Germany) will be introduced in the UK next year. Many thanks:)

Hi so I think officially there are delays, with 2024 to be rolled out at UK level, but I saw some supermarket chains thinking about adopting the initiative earlier.

No way all the plastic is going to be brought back, there will always be some kind of plastics, which are not going to be returned. There are bottle returns systems for decades and still there are some types which are not being accepted. Same will happen with the supermarket, there are loads of plastics which are not from the supermarket, I don't think they will accept stuff back they didn't sell. There will always be plastic around, Precious plastic will make it worth more than the original.

Machines for Global use - Is there anyone here familiar with CE and CSA testing standards. CSA testing standards have become a global accepted Norm. What I am hoping as that we all can learn from this and understand how and if the CSA standard (Electrical and or Mechanical) affects the global areas of machine distribution and start up. It may be possible that the CSA covers also most all global standards as per one of, if not the most thorough testing standards in the world. It could make the machines truly global, the laws in Canada and the USA are very strict. There must be someone here that truly knows how these standards interact as the cost of CSA vs CE certification is likely the same, at least electrically speaking. (edited)

isn't a textile shredder able to use DIY, e.g. by slicing them with scissors or sharpening knifes to get that "worn jeans"-look or maybe with a paper-slicing machine (not that casual shredder, I mean the ones to cut flyers/etc. with A5 & other sized referred on its background)? couldn't reshaping plastic be more about the melting process, as slicing depends on its thickness e.g. slicing a waterbottle sounds easier than its lid instead? some youtube-tutorials use a wafflemaker but maybe just hot water in a bowl could get a similar effect too?

1. mainly a vaccum cleaner is the easiest option by first trying to reduce the dust thrown around,and then collecting it when youre done.As for the dust and the people,wearing a mask and covering clothing as the dust can be quite itchy on your skin and the mask is important. 2. Mostly aluminum but often other materials i have on hand like for very small/fast things i might even use wood/resin/epoxy to test something first

Rory - Sustainable Design Studio 6/6/2022 1:17 AM
On the 30mm shaft we got to about 210mm of teeth. But the question of how long can it go really depends on what you are shredding and the amount of torque you apply to the shaft. So there is no simple answer without doing the maths.

For 3D modeling you could do some courses but I donโ€™t think it is necessary. Also what software are you looking at?

and the hexagons represent the moving blades
Avatar
There is few reason not too :
  • There is the risk of not aligning blades correctly if you weld them (even with a template, welding induce some stress and deformation).
  • There is not a perfect fit between the blade and the axis (or you wouldn't be able to slide them on the axis) : so if you weld all stress will go through the weld and not with a surface contact between the hexagone axis and the blade plate.
  • If you keep hardox or a similar steel, this is not easily weldable, at least not with DIY shop filler metal and DIY welding level.

Hi there, Im based in London (UK) and opening a plastic recycling shop/ experiment over the summer. I would love to know if 1) any local London plastic technicians are around and interested in working on the project 2) if someone could help me find out more information on the Washing System model 1.0 as I sadly missed the talk last week...

For 3D modeling you could do some courses but I donโ€™t think it is necessary. Also what software are you looking at?

Hey, I'm located in Israel and have 2 questions 1. How do you take care of microplastics, when cleaning the space after let's say sawing plastic beams into smaller pieces. 2. What material are the molds made of, how do you make them? - I have some design background but no 3D modelling, should I do a course on that before I start my own venture and if yes, which one?
Davide->PreciousPlasticRomagna 7/2/2022 11:00 AM
For molds, I'm trying with some materials. I'm working with compression molding at the moment. I made a simple mold to make small sheets from a piece of scrap phenolic resin laminate, one for knobs from aluminum, one for simple round thick discs from C45 steel and another for dominos from cast iron. I'm in a "R&D" mood at the moment, to find the best way to make them right for my application. For what I can say, for compression molding at the moment the best one I made is the cast iron one. I found a good way to reduce burrs on the plastic part, it is possibile thanks to the hardness and rigidity of cast iron who allow me to machine a precise mold that is "cutting" the excess plastic when mold is closed. Cast iron has a low heat transmission, that means plastic tend to stay enough hot on the surface on wich it is put before the mold closing. However I want to make the water passageways in the mold to heat it. Aluminum is easier to machine and polish, it is easier to heat since it has a high heat transmission, but it is a lot softer and I think if I made the cast iron design with aluminum it doesn't last.

Hi everyone, I needed some advise. I have been creating prototypes with HDPE2 plastics for the last 1 year almost using domestic appliances. Yesterday I have won ยฃ750 for my startup business as part of a student incubator programme. So I would love to buy some injection machines/molds and shredder. But not sure if I will find anything with that budget ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ฉ.. as I am a start-up that is all I can put towards the equipments at the moment. Please kindly let me know if there are any fundings available for startups working with recycling plastic (in the UK) or If I can find equipments within the price range? More info on my startup: www.sadiasgems.co.uk Insta: www.Instagram.com/sadias.gems

Rory - Sustainable Design Studio 7/7/2022 11:09 PM
@Sadia Congratulations on your startup prize. ๐Ÿ™‚ On ebay in the UK there are some cheap mini injection machines, with really small shot sizes (maybe 30g) you can then use soft plastics like PPE masks and plastic bags (with no need to shred) to fill these little machines. You can then use laser cut metal to create cheap moulds or resin 3D printed moulds for testing with. This would be my best suggestion for moving to injection moulding without having to spend more than the prize money. Hope that helps (edited)

Oi oi Ninjalinos I have no idea where to start Trees!! You need trees the sooner the better. Best time to plant trees 10 years ago next best time is right now!! Fruit trees make it easy make it cheap plant those suckers from seeds. Super easy you got apples for free in plenty within 6-10 years. trees planted that way may not look or taste nothing like the apples from which you took the seeds but don't worry. When they have the first crop you chose the ones you like and craft nice apples one the rest. Crafting trees is super easy. It can be done with just a hobby knife and electrical tape. Also even bad apples that are sour or in other ways not great for eating can be used to make juice or ciders where you want the more acidic fruits

I've read you're like in the team of preciousplastic or something about bremen, I guess sending be an issue of costs, but if you travel by vienna, maybe it's cool to pre-sort mine, so you can get them in colours you'd prefer or are you okay with every material than by colour's type? btw: for pm's ...Ive seen it & prefer generally sticking to convo on the server as there's no locking button for interactions (serverinvites, which I misclicked on VC & in pm's in some cases if adjusting volume or seeing people's userroles), so it's easy to text on here maybe you know some guys who travel to both regions & could deliver plastic while I could gather them & you'd receive them? ordering be bugging here, not ever package gets to where it should be, etc. missing one's hardly sounds worth the time of saving plastic just that it's maybe lost on your way before it's handed somehow

Hello, I'm a 12th grade student and I'm looking to build an injection molding machine for my school to recycle plastic. However, I want to modify the injection barrel and increase its barrel size (to approximately 40 mm - inside circumference). I was wondering if anyone has done this modification before and if so, will there be any problems with doing so?

any size above 20-25mm is not feasible as you have problems with the plastic in the center not melting
12:34 PM
this is why you see machines having a much longer barrel rather than wider

Hey everyone, I'm an architecture student in Milano, Italy and I have a question - I've been digging into the files and schematics of the starter kits on the website, and I can't for the life of me find any plan view of the machines provided by Precious Plastic. I'm always met with very complex schematics with extensions that none of the programs I'm using (CAD, Revit, Rhino) can open (ex. .SLDPRT). I guess it's because these schematics are for the machines to be built rather than in architectural drawings. I was wondering if anyone has PDF or DWG of a simple plan/elevation view of each machine, as I can't seem to find any in the starter kits folders

Agree with Davide above, do you use a release agent ? Silicon oil is amongst the best. Also what type of sheet do you use for the mould ? Make sure it is a really smooth surface, polish it regularly if it get scratched. But from experience, we also realise that even with a lot comes from the plastic you melt. HDPE is amongst the stickiest, + some HDPE batch stick more than others. So for sheet making, I would advise to stay with PP and PS. Or, if you absolutely need to melt PE, do a very precise sorting (up to exact same object together) and discard all the batches that stick.

safety first, those less toxic, easy to recycle, and better for open air and education activities, those are LDPE, HDPE and PP, others are more complicated. I play a lot with PS but this is not a good thing to do.

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!

We usually have transparent PP we run through the machine to clean out the color, theres always a bit of loss when changing color but we decided to keep the "transition batch" for funky extrudes, unique parts etc.

Hi there! I would like to build a sheet press to make 2x2x0.03 m3 panels from recycled polymers but I have some I have some questions : 1. What type of polymers is the best option? Iโ€™ve tried with some PP but I also want to do panels with PS but I donโ€™t know if itโ€™s appropriate. 2. In what material should I use for my sheet press ? Cast iron, aluminiumโ€ฆ? Thanks a lot

Hi everyone! We are starting a community-driven plastics initiative in London around reusable packaging - and are currently in need of facilities/designers willing to help us test our production mode or help us find the right machine parts. The goal is to make thin malleable plastic sheets from recycled soft plastics - shred, melt, flatten very thinly and roll the sheets. If anyone knows what this process would require or of any facilities in Lonond, please do let us know!

Hello, I represent The Coral Planters, an organization dedicated to the preservation of coral ecosystems worldwide. We are deeply concerned about the increasing amount of plastic waste polluting the oceans and threatening the survival of coral reefs. We have been following the Precious Plastic projects that are flourishing around the world for several years, dedicated to creating sustainable solutions for plastic waste management. We are convinced that your companies could play a crucial role in the fight against plastic pollution and we would like to propose a partnership to work together to create a cleaner and healthier planet. We believe that our association and your companies share similar goals and that we can learn from each other to maximize our impact. We have expertise in coral reef restoration, as well as in educating the public about the importance of marine ecosystem conservation. We would be delighted to discuss with you how we can work together to achieve our common goals. We believe that this collaboration would be beneficial to our organization, your company, and the planet as a whole. We thank you for your consideration of our partnership request and look forward to discussing this exciting opportunity. If a Precious Plastic branch is interested, please let us know! Sincerely, A bottle in the sea

Hellooo, So, me and a few others are working for a small festival (~3000 ppl) near cologne, where we want to improve the trash situation by introducing better waste separation, gamifiyng a bit of that and wanting to show a few upcycling ideas and projects. When I was on the Pangea Festival in 2022 (I think?), there was a small booth from Precious Plastic where somebody brought along their shredder and Extruder and 1-2 molds and displayed exactly some cool plastic upcycling ideas. I was wondering if something like that may be possible for our project as well, does anybody know a good starting point on whom to contact or something? I've looked into PP-workshops in cologne, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much going on right now. Thankful for any clues! ๐Ÿซถ

Hi, people! Quick question. We've been working with the PP machines for 3 years now. And the main problem we face is that when we use the injection machine, the molds always open up a little while we inject. And we can't seem to locate the reason why. We are working with a two ton hydraulic press, and have constructed a reinforced steel structure so the mould rests on it while it's being pressed. And it still opens up. Have any of you had this issue of the moulds opening up slightly? It's a bummer cos we can't get consistent thickness in our hexagons. Ana tips will be highly appreciated!!

This opening of the mould, or flashing as it is called, happens when the force that keeps the moulds shut is too low. The pressure builds up in the mould and pushes against the mould halves, pushing it appart. It could be that the bolts or clamps that keep the mould shut are not strong enough, or that the metal of the mould itself will bend. With strong hydraulic press you are likely to fill the mould with a higher pressure that the mould or clamping mechanism (for example, bolts or clamps keeping the mould shut) is able to handle. Or you are overfilling the mould, (injecting too much plastic into the mould). A stronger mould, or reinforcing the mould might be an option, as you tried. But most likely you have to reduce the amount of injection pressure or injection force you are using. Or the amount of plastic you are injecting, stop injecting more plastic (or reduce the force somewhat) when the mould is full. Your machine is probably so strong that it can continue to inject plastic, which the mould can't handle.

Thanks you! The thing is we try to optimize the machine and make it produce as much as posible. That's why we have it always full, so I would not know how to inject JUST the right amount. Any suggestions? As for the force... we did made the lever longer, so I am going to try to grab it closer to the base to lower the force, and I'll let you know how it went! I am just amazed that I am making +2tn of force!! Also, would you say making air vents on the mould, or even bigger ones for when the mould is full the plastic has a way out and doesn't build that much pressure?

Does anyone have more experience in applying these materials in a more fine-art related context and perhaps have some tips about the best way to approach this? The sculpture we aim to make will be no higher than a meter and will represent a kingfisher.

We are looking for a European (ideally German) brand or manufacturer who is interested in partnering to close this supply loop. The capacity is about 2 tonnes of shredded/chipped PP plastic per month (this could be in smaller lots as well)!

Hi DeFrons, I have been in Eindhoven but Iยดm not familiar with your 3D comunity maybe you can ask a student of engineering because they usually have fablabs in the universities. That if you want to go cheap, otherwise you can just ask to a 3D printing company like materialise. Iยดm based in Madrid and I can do it for you but is going to cost you more the shiping than the parts ๐Ÿ™‚

Hi Europe! We are looking for international partners in crime (preferably from The Netherlands) to fix the next problem: a lot of plastics can be recycled, but still a lot of them also can not be recycled. We are a waste management start-up and we are looking for an enthusiast team that wants to co-develop solutions with those non-recyclables. The plastics would be delivered by our company (now still a start-up) and will also be promoted in Belgium by our company. The goal is to have a synergetic effect: we are promoting and working together to really treat all waste streams a 100% circular, the other party gets very cheap materials to work with and a production line and brand with an environmental and social meaning. We can also work together concerning the launch of competitions for new designs and in that way use talent in both countries to really give chances to young designers, produce and environmental-friendly and trendy item and really make an impact. Who's in? Please send me a message if interested or if you want to connect and follow up!

I know many people have tried recycling PET and it didn't work unfortunately it seems PET needs very specific range of temperature that is hard to reach with precious plastic machines I would try HDPE and PP those are the most recycled plastic with the precious plastic methods I believe. Those are also the lowest on fumes etc.

With the heat gun you can weld two pieces of the same plastic type together. Here youโ€™ll find some tips for this technique.
If you want to join several plastic parts together, you can join them together at the joint surfaces with a simple soldering iron. It's quick and you don't need any additional material. โ™ป๏ธ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Will heat presses provide sufficient heat and pressure? These are the tools for making iron on decals for shirts right?
NorthernJon 8/31/2023 9:58 AM
Theyโ€™re fine for heat, but struggle with pressure. Iโ€™ve found the results are of uneven thickness and the clamping mechanism on the press quickly wears out.

Hi Hi tried the injection as follows and works fantastic: 1 turn on the injection machine barrel at 165 Celsius and nozzle at 175 celsius 2 Shred only bottle cap HDPE (double shred to make smaller pieces of aprox 2mm) 3 when at temp add the plastic to the injection machine. 4 set a heat gun to preheat the mold 5 20 minutes on the timer to wait for plastic to melt 6 remove the cap from nozzle 7 attach the mold 8 INJECT!!! 9 hold strong push for 4 solid minutes 10 remove the mold 11 place back the cap on the nozzle. 12 Cool the alu mold in water (edited)

Hello everyone! I would like to share a bit what we do in case we find some enthusiasts that would like to start their own plastic recyling journey ๐Ÿ’ซ A little bit of backstory, Yann ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท , Joseph ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ and I ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฑ worked within the Precious Plastic core team for four years, we initially joined as volunteers during the development of Version 4. During our time there, we were responsible for starting the Precious Plastic "Collabs" were we offered machines, onsite setup/training, and consulting to other organizations looking to implement local plastic recycling solutions. This was the primary business model for Precious Plastic during that time. We recently started our own machine shop here in Portugal ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡น to assist organizations with setting up small scale plastic recycling projects, as we accumulated a lot of practical knowledge in this area and know that many organizations and individuals need help. That's why we started MAD PLASTIC (https://www.instagram.com/madplastic_) - to consult organizations on small scale recycling projects, and provide the machinery, molds, and training to implement them. Here you can see some videos of us setting up the workspaces and training people on how to run them during our time in Precious Plastic ๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฟ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yxHtSx2d4I&t=2s ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ด https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62paZrW7OXU&t=1s ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSGz05O5Meg Let us know if you are interested on starting your recycling journey or know someone that might be! ๐Ÿš€ We make small to large projects! So don't hesitate to ask ๐Ÿ˜ƒ We also provide consultancy services, product design, molds, product productions, R&D projects, on-site training and installation and more! (edited)

Hi. Has anyone experimented with melting recycled plastic chips while adding additives like char powder or other powder like coloring, ... ? Also is it feasible at all to somehow "overmould" objects like metal into the plastic? Particularly interested in the recycled plastic sheet process. Maybe something like copper tubes could be bonded with plastic sheet in a 2 stage process? eg. producing finished sheet to spec, cooling it down and then a second stage of heating and pressing the copper tubes into the plastic while applying only partial pressure and temperature and also spacers ( eg. sheet thickness + 5mm ) to ensure correct "penetration / bonding" depth. I don't have any experience with the sheet press nor any large object plastic recycling. would be interested in feedback about the feasibility of such an approach

A broad search will find folks have thrown all sorts of stuff in with plastic shred- either manually, in a press, or, when actual mixing is a priority, through an extruder. Probably the most common non-primary-constituent material is sand and oil, followed by labels. Why do you want to embed metal tubes in plastic? (edited)

heatexchanger usecase with increased thermal property recycled plastic. plastic tubing would be more appropriate but not sure how to bond something like that without crushing it while applying heat.

Comparatively, doesn't plastic suck as a vehicle for moving heat? It off gasses, changes shape, and has a thermal conductivity rating between ~0.42 - 0.51 (by comparison, copper is between ~350-400+). Is your intention to insulate the heat exchanger? (edited)
Avatar
adrianibanez 11/12/2023 12:58 AM
Yes, would require some insulation for increased performance. Relatively low temperature application like 40-80C; not much risk of offgasing. Thermal properties of plastic aren't great, but compared to copper most materials suck. Think floor heating PEX tubes. that's why I thought about additives in the sheet.

I suppose you have lots of options- heat the copper work, slather extruded plastic over the top; heat the copper work, pour on shred, and soak in an oven; heat the copper work, sprinkle with shred, hit with a heat gun, sprinkle with shred, forever, and ever, until as you like. You could create a small test article, cover it with sand, and progressively apply pressure to discern tolerance, then contrive a form for incorporating the copper work in a press. Interesting prospect. (edited)

As far as I know, my workshop has a 3 phase power supply - but I currently have no way of knowing what the output of the power supply in there is.

adrianibanez 11/13/2023 2:01 PM
Not sure what you mean with "discern tolerance, then contrive a form for incorporating the copper work in a press.". After thinking about it, merging both materials would break the recycling possiblity of both plastic and copper materials I suppose? Would it be feasible to solder HDPE or PP pipes on top of a recycled sheet instead of mixing up copper/plastic materials? Is it common practice to weld pressed sheets or other products like done with virgin material sheet or pipes? The possibility of adding small amounts of different materials to recycled sheets sounds like an interesting option to improve thermal properties. Not sure what kind of materials / additives they use for their polymer based solar thermal collectors https://inaventasolar.com/en/our-technology. Maybe there isn't even that much need for additives in the first place http://www.janusenergy.it/detail.php?page=19 they manufacture polypropylene based collectors but with thin walls and numerous tubes running in parallel.

2:22 PM
i could make myself the hand crank and the shroud
2:28 PM
is 2 shafts superior to 1 shaft ?
2:28 PM
for manualy cranked ?

2 shaft is easier than a single for hand powered, however you can't/shouldnt use a mesh with a dual shaft system.

you probably would use a sieve of different diameter holes and grind again what is too big ?

That said, at this very moment, you may find one on the Precious Plastic Bazar for 235 Euro- find it here: https://bazar.preciousplastic.com/machines/shredder/shredder-kits/shredder-mini-handcranked-shredder/ "haha yes ... the price of admission for shredding plastics seams to be pretty high" Compared to other trade machinery- say, tools used in the construction industry, representing some of the most commonly familiar and accessible industry tools -the prices of shredding machinery isn't extraordinary.

@Christopher - Unmake Plastic thanks , ill keep an eye on bazar ... Producing your own A4 5 mm thick sheets of recycled plastic that could be laser cut sounds pretty promising ... the question right now is at what cost ... i need cheep robust and reliable process ...

FYI: Folks have had good success with in-oven presses for small sheets- even without the use of a shredder, using small plastic parts or parts reduced just enough to fit in the oven -a very low cost point of entry.

Hi, I have a question, Iโ€™m trying to set up a plastic recycling space, but Iโ€™m not sure about which machines to buy, the big doubt that I have, and that would determine my choice later, is if I can use normal objects moulds for the extruder. Idk for example a flower pot. What would be the problem for this type of use? Thank you ๐Ÿค— (edited)

The 3.3 Shredder with a 5mm mesh will create the smallest you can reasonably create within the Precious Plastic ecosystem. Just make sure it has a fine mesh and you should be fine. However anything smaller than 5mm might get blocked easily when using the standard PP design due to the teeth size.

@Deleted User are you CZ/SK based by any chance? If yes, have a look at the map at PP site, there are few active groups in that area, have a look if it is something they would be interested in.

@Damian I saw on the map that there are some people with CNCs are located in the southern Poland, perhaps you could reach out and get it shipped straight to you ๐Ÿ˜‰

I got my shredder kit from a person from Silesia so I'm fully aware! ๐Ÿ˜„ But living in southern Poland myself it's relatively close to both Czech Republic and Slovakia so I don't need to limit myself to the state borders, so it's a great advantage.

are there people of austria who shredder or share gathered plastic? I'd gather resources if a group maybe teams-up around that location ...two projects got cancelled, so plastic stays until getting shreddered later also up for designs or ideas to shape too

Hi there, Weโ€™re a team from a university in the UK, and are working on an experimental systems project, and we need to gather some stakeholders. The project is going to be an application about to help users recycling responsibly, and weโ€™re wondering if any of you would be willing to become a stakeholder. It wonโ€™t involve much just a few short meetings throughout the academic year, where weโ€™ll ask for your insight into the project. If you are interested please DM me ๐Ÿ™‚

Hello there all! My name is Dylan and I have been working to start recycling plastic in sunny Glasgow! I have recently installed a 60cmx60cm sheet press into my workshop but I have overlooked an important aspect - being the power supply. The machine I have requires 3 Phase, 315V, 50HZ, 7.5kW. As far as I know, my workshop has a 3 phase power supply - but I currently have no way of knowing what the output of the power supply in there is. Does anyone here have experience of this kind of thing? Does anyone know what extra equipment I might require to turn the machine on ? Your help is greatly appreciated ! (edited)
Davide->PreciousPlasticRomagna 12/10/2023 9:43 AM
You need a three phase connection, first of all, be sure of it. Probably there you have something like 380/400/415V power grid, so a transformer is needed to lower the tension to 315V, that's not a European standard.

It's an AI, text prompted, image generation service that allows for the submission of images as basis for the product. You would upload the PP logo and tell it 'replace this word with that word, do this to the bag-flag', etc.

Independent of application, I pointed to tools that might allow them to accomplish the task with little-to-no design or application skills and little-to-no cost out of pocket. (edited)

Hi there ! Is there maybe some data available for making beams like the sizes of beams versus the weight of the recycled flakes needed? We want to start a PP based company in the Netherlands but some more data would be nice for our business plan. Thnx in advance!

A quick Google search will provide you with typical material weight to volume ratios. No one can tell you the weight of your specific application, as the volume of your imagined part hasn't been defined at all, the plastic you source will not be the same as the plastic I source- and, quite likely, batch to batch, the plastic you source will differ significantly -and the temperature and pressure at which you (presumably) extrude-mold the part will depend on your settings and system, directly impacting part density (read: weight).

Hey! We provide 2 options to make your own logo. For both you need to install the Precious Plastic fonts (https://community.preciousplastic.com/how-to/precious-plastic-font-). Make sure to keep the guidelines in mind (https://community.preciousplastic.com/academy/universe/yourlog) 1. The oldschool way: Download al the files and templates from the download-kit. You can use your own software to modify. Photoshop, Illustrator, GIMP, Sketch, paint. Whatever gets you going. 2. The new way: Use Figma, a free online tool. We like to use it at Precious Plastic to create graphic assets. It's free and Multi-platform (Windows, Mac and even Linux) which makes it a great tool to collaborate. 2.1 - You need to create your own account. Go to www.figma.com and click on Sign up (top-right corner). You can either download the desktop app or use it directly in your browser. If you choose the second option, then you need to install the Font Installer to use the custom Precious Plastic font within the software. 2.2 - If you want to learn more about Figma and how to use the editor you can watch this video. 2.3 - Once it's done, we're ready to create your logo. Follow this link: https://www.figma.com/file/YpkQ9zzWMLS1R47pJcKBxJ/Logo-Generator. All the instructions are included in the file. Enjoy & be creative!
