Project Type: Upcycling, R and D, Recycling
Year: 2018 -2020
Project: PlasticWorks featured an R&D lab housed in a shipping container and includes machinery to shred, extrude, and mold discarded plastic into “up cycled” products. It offered public demonstrations, R&D product testing for interested organizations, and volunteer opportunities for interested community members.
PlasticWorks cased operations in 2020 but Citizen Scientific Workshop / Polyvora has continued to create and make amazing products. Check out their work https://polyvora.io/
