Hi! I'm Morgan, based in Northampton MA. I'm apart of a small team building a shredder for a pioneer valley maker space. We'd love to collaborate and troubleshoot with fellow Mass people

Hello! I'm looking to get introduced to anyone that is active in the area. I work for a lab and have access to some recycled equipment that I hope to repurpose into a shredder/extruder potentially to help process some of the massive amount of plastic waste produced by my lab

9:44 PM

If anyone has a set up already in MA/RI I'd love to check it out and get some pointers and ideas, otherwise if people are interested in helping out let me know!

Technically in NH, but close enough to the southern border that MA collaboration would make sense for me! I'm interested in a precious plastic-like workflow for making raw material for 3D printing in NH!

what kind of stuff you working with?

Hey y'all!

I'm located in Somerville and am interested in the Precious Plastic pipeline/workflow from reclamation to repurposing.

I currently only source plastics from my personal consumption (and sometimes from whatever my roomies toss into our recycling bin. In the past, I've asked my beer-drinking friends to collect their plastic (#2) can caps, which has offered me a wonderful variety of colors! I'm not yet seeking collaborators, but would love to exchange ideas for how to create or join plastic recycling/upcycling communities in the Boston metro area.
