Description of the Green Initiative
Interested people and technology enthusiasts
Plastic Garage has been around since the fall of 2022 and is all about plastics and their recycling. By carrying out research and experimental activities challenges of recycling are addressed. With technologies from Plastic Preneur and other equipment, shredding, extruding and injection molding plastic can be easily tried out by visitors.
Main activities include raising awareness around the topic of plastics recycling. This is done for example by setting up a simple recycling line with shredder, extrusion, injection molding.
Awareness raising about recycling of plastic. Possibility to use technologies.
The Plastic Preneur is a small recycling machine that helps to develop and provide small-scale plastic recycling solutions and combine them with social entrepreneurship skills. This enables grassroots access to turn plastic waste into new opportunities to create and launch innovative products and setting up new, income-generating projects and social businesses around the world.
Own ideas for prototypes, new products and improvements around the topic of plastics recycling can be pitched. With a bit of luck there will be a sponsorship to realize the idea.
