precious plastic
spaces

People, groups and organisations create spaces to power the Precious Plastic Universe.
Spaces are connected and dependant on each other, collaborating to tackle the plastic problem.
Discover the different spaces below:

A Precious Plastic Workspace is a place where plastic gets transformed from waste into valuable materials or products. There are five different workspaces: Shredder, Extrusion, Sheetpress, Injection and Mix.

Collection Points gather plastic from neighbours,
organisations and businesses to be used by local Shredder Workspaces.

Community Points connect and grow the network locally. Strengthening the existing local community while bringing in more & more people.

Machine Shops produce and build parts, moulds and entire machines for other workspaces and projects in the local recycling network.

Precious Plastic Members are the beginning and the end of the plastic cycle. They provide the initial plastic waste and buy Precious Plastic recycled products.

Everyone can get involved

Different backgrounds, skills, drives or expertise can all
work together in different Precious Plastic spaces.

Local Networks

Precious Plastic spaces working together create a local network. Where people and spaces create an alternative recycling system.

Local networks can grow as big as needed but should always try to keep distance to a minimum. This helps reduce shipping and pollution.

Spaces distribution

In order to function successfully, a local network needs a minimum number of Precious Plastic spaces and as many people to work together.

And as it grows should try to maintain a certain relationship between the number of spaces, like in this table.
