Recyling Machines






 2023

A selection of plastic recycling machines including a shredder and an extruder, designed to recycle and repurpose plastic waste. 

These machines are based on open source designs by Precious Plastic. Some modifications were made to improve shredding capacity and the flow of plastic through the extrusion barrel, alongwith the fabrication of deconstructable mobile steel frames.
