Planning
Every upcycling project begins with thoughtful design and strategy. We brainstorm innovative uses for recycled plastics, focusing on products that serve our community and support regenerative living. From wind turbines to garden planters, each idea is rooted in our mission to make a positive impact on the planet.
Funding

Collecting Plastics
Our projects are made possible by a dedicated team of volunteers, engineers, and creators who work together to bring these ideas to life. We also collaborate with local changemakers and organizations to enhance our efforts.

Collecting Plastics
We gather plastic waste from local community members, businesses, and public spaces. This step is crucial in reducing plastic pollution and ensuring that we have the materials needed for upcycling. We accept a variety of plastics, carefully sorting them for proper processing.
Sorting & Cleaning
Collecting Plastics
Sorting & Cleaning
Collected plastics are sorted by type and cleaned to remove any impurities. This step ensures that the material is ready for upcycling and meets the quality standards for our products.
Shredding

The sorted plastics are then shredded into small, manageable pieces, which makes them easier to process in the next stages. Shredding also helps us store and handle the materials efficiently.
Extruding
3D Printing
3D Printing
Using our Precious Plastics extruder, the shredded plastic is melted and extruded into new forms. This creates the raw material we use for 3D printing and other applications.

The extruded plastic is used in our 3D printers to create products such as wind turbine blades, stackable garden planters, modular housing blocks, and flow art equipment. This process allows us to turn waste into custom-designed, practical solutions.
Finishing

Selling & Distributing
Once the products are printed, they are carefully finished and refined to ensure they are durable, functional, and ready for use. This step includes quality checks and any necessary polishing or assembly.

The final products are made available for purchase, with all proceeds going back into our community programs. By selling upcycled products, we support the sustainability of our initiatives and promote eco-friendly alternatives to conventional goods. Every purchase helps fund future upcycling projects and grow our impact.
