UoE Precious Plastic

Aiming to reduce plastic waste worldwide by boosting plastic recycling! Focusing on creating small-scale plastic recycling machines so that we can recycle our own plastic waste for a variety of different applications. We will be turning the recycled waste plastic into awesome products like 3D printer filaments, everyday objects (e.g stools, bowls, accessories, art projects) and 3D printed products (e.g phone cases, games). With a 3D printer, the possibilities are endless. Our aim more than anything is to show this generation of University students what a sustainable future looks like. We believe that to create change you have to inspire it and sustainable projects like these are ones that have a long-lasting domino effect. Having a university that is constantly innovating and striving for sustainability is how you excite students to be part of this cause. We want to get students involved with the sustainable future we are trying to create because only together can we combat climate change.
