We are a global movement built on providing open-source designs with 1000+ organizations around the world that recycle plastic on a small scale. We share free open-source machines and molds for the community.

About

With continued support, Precious Plastic aims to make an even greater impact in its mission to create a more sustainable future.

Through our efforts, Precious Plastic has helped to reduce pollution, conserve natural resources, and create new economic opportunities. The organization has empowered 10.000+ entrepreneurs worldwide and recycled 590,000+ tons of plastic waste, generating more than $36,000,000 in revenue and employing over 15,000 people across the global community.
