Precious Plastic is a project for DIY plastic recycling. More about the project on their website

Collecting

We're collecting different types of plastic in labeled black boxes ( + one box for the stuff we're not sure about). Everything should be clean before it gets into the boxes!

  • Acrylic is really hard to recycle apparently, so we're not collecting that
  • Sorting through the plastics recycling bin helps us reduce the amount of plastic trash
  • Dumpster diving on the KQ?

Further research necessary

  • Styrofoam
    • Mostly polystyrene, "expanded polystyrene", short EPS
    • Dissolvable in Acetone (but that's kinda nasty and not exactly healthy
    • Topics in the forum: [1] [2]
    • Maybe heat and compression to make it smaller and shreddable?

Machines

  • Shredder?
  • Oven?
