Started by Dutch designer Dave Hakkens in 2013, Precious Plastic freely shares open-source designs for machines that shred, melt, and remould plastic waste into new products. Anyone can download the blueprints, build the machines, and start a local recycling workspace, turning waste into value in their own community. It has grown into a global community of more than 2,000 registered recycling initiatives across 56 countries.

We research and write every entry ourselves, so there’s no self-serve editing — but corrections from people who know this project first-hand are the best ones we get.

A public page or report we can cite. Without one we usually can’t publish a change.
