Support Precious Plastic Plymouth shred and re-mould waste plastic into new products!

Help raise £3000 to grow the movement to create an amazing carbon neutral plastic recycling community in Plymouth with Precious Plastic Plymouth.

Who are Precious Plastic Plymouth?

“We are Precious Plastic Plymouth and Tavistock – an open source, open hardware artisan plastic recycling project founded on the ethos of the wonderful Precious Plastic movement (preciousplastic.com). We take waste plastic, shred it and re-mould it into a range of wonderful products. Currently we make soap dishes, pots and buttons, and are in the process of expanding our product range.

Our plastic recycling mission is engaging, creative, and demonstrates just how simple and easy recycling plastic can be. We have a vision of a world where creative energy drives environmental change. We aim to bring the community together, helping us all to engage with recycling and plastic waste issues and get creative at the same time – but we need your help!

We are still quite small but have some very talented young designers for the University of Plymouth on board now. We would love to expand and build/buy some new machines. We have made a very exciting pedal powered plastic shredder attached to an exercise bike!
We have a video of this, our journey and our plans attached to our crowdfunder campaign.

We have a great following of enthusiastic members of the public and can offer a big shout out on our social media plus your name on our website or machines if you would like to support us. We also offer to come to your business and demonstrate our recycling. Please have a look and see if you can support us, share our campaign or link with us in some way. A small amount of support from businesses like yours would be a great help for our campaign!”
