We finally found a way to make sheets from plastic waste - The results are insane

#waste #news #environmentalprotection #recycling #climatechange

We went on a mission to create the first open-source sheetpress so anyone could start recycling large volumes of plastic, and we created a new industry in the process!

We knew large sheets of plastic could be created, but the technology was a mystery, so our team of volunteers spent 18 months and 50.000 euros reverse-engineering a machine that could do it.

The Sheetpress System that we created was quickly adopted by thousands of people all over the planet. They started making beautiful sheets and super useful products, like furniture, architectural tiles, and small structures, while recycling TONS of plastic waste!
