The world is facing a dreadful problem: Plastic !
Did you know, only ten percent of the plastic is actually recycled ? When it would technically be possible to recycle 80% of it!
To expand the reach of plastic recyling around the world, some brave initiative already exist. For instance, the Precious Plastic community or Plastic Odyssey. They developped "low tech" and open source machines to transform this "garbage" in valuable objects. They are helping to develop recycled products, crafted by people around the world. The bottleneck is sorting plastic.
