At Maker Mindset, we are working hard to create a community where we can all learn from each other. Our goal is to have a space where people come together to exchange ideas, projects, and help limit trash output.
We are very excited to join the Precious Plastic team and learn how we can spread the word and come closer to a solution to the plastic waste problem. If you are interested in joining our community point group click on the project title link to sign up!
Our team is currently engaged in the development of two machines with unique purposes. The first machine is designed to efficiently shred plastics into small bits. To achieve this, we have partnered with Precious Plastics to learn and leverage their expertise in building the shredder. Additionally, we are committed to making the shredder design open-source, allowing others to benefit from its capabilities once it is successfully created.
The second machine we are working on is known as the Polyformer. This innovative device, conceptualized by Yang (Reiten) Cheng, aims to assist countries in Africa in producing their own 3D filament using plastic bottles. To bring this concept to life, we are utilizing the open-source designs provided by Yang (Reiten) Cheng and engaging in the printing and assembly process right here in Montgomery County, PA. By doing so, we aim to empower communities with the means to repurpose plastic waste and foster sustainability efforts.
Sounds Futuristic, Right?!
The best way to help the environment is to refuse using single-use plastics. But what do we do with all of the single-use plastic that already exists? Maker Mindset is doing that research for you! We are researching safe and easy ways to reuse plastic.
