DIY Recycling Machines

I built these machines at Pratt using plans from Dave Hakkens and the Precious Plastic Project. There's a shredder that grinds plastic down into small chips, and an injection machine to plunge molten plastic into custom molds.

Once complete I took the machines out to Oregon to stage live workshops for the 2017 Eclipse Festival. People could stop in a create marbled plastic jewelry using waste from the Festival.
