@bss you're in Madison? You might contact the Sector 67 makerspace. They have some #preciousplastic machines. I don't recall if they are recycling PLA specifically but they have lots of 3D printers so it would not surprise me. https://www.sector67.org/

The Atlas Games Replay Workshop didn't contribute anything to these #PreciousPlastic stats last year, though we were investing a lot in getting started. This year though...just this last weekend 300 pounds of plastic we collected turned into Dice Miner mountains. :) I hope this is just the start of things.

Just a bit proud of Sandgropers for doing this. (Plastic recycling where the big recycling companies have as usual fallen right down and done nothing...)

(PS: "Sandgropers" for the rest of the world are Aussies that live in Western Australia.)

My favourite #YouTube Channel just started into Season 3: #ProjectKamp.

A group of people bought a piece of land in the north of #Portugal trying to live a more #sustainable life.

The people behind it are also responsible for such great projects as #PreciousPlastic or #FixingFashion. They collect these projects under the name #OneArmy – i am not big a fan of this name.

Sounds interesting? Go check out their website https://projectkamp.com/ or tune in to a new episode every Monday on YouTube.

The FORAGED FASHION show was amazing!

Students did a dozen intense workshops over the past week learning about the natural and anthropogenic aspects of their environment, and how to prototype by foraging!

It culminated in a set of 8 amazing interactive outfits!

Thanks so much to @cmoz for getting me out here and making this all happen at @gsa_hi @gsa_designinnovation !

Looking forward to doing this again sometime!

Also, this reminds me I need to look for fellow #preciousplastic enthusiasts on the Fediverse

Less plastic than ever is being #recycled!!

I'm testing an eco-friendly #recycling solution for the most common single-use plastics, inspired by #PreciousPlastic.

I collect with an #ebike, #recycle with #renewableenergy & hand-finish unique goods in my #workshop.

If I can demonstrate that "artisan recycling" can be a lucrative #homebusines, stimulating local economies & cleaning up neighborhoods without taxpayer funds or dirty fuels, maybe people will start recycling like this everywhere! ♻️😅♻️

Interested in getting started recycling waste plastic? The Brothers Make channel has been doing a fantastic job educating folks on how to do just that!

Neulich gefunden in einer "Zu verschenken" Kiste auf der Straße.
Wenn's noch funktioniert, wird's für @preciousplasticmunich $Dinge verwendet. Vielleicht lassen sich die Platten sogar "auf glatt" umdrehen. War schon lange auf der Suche nach was billigem in der Größe. 😃

A really neat video from the #PreciousPlastic recycling group on helping the strengthen Indonesian recycling community.

Made these soap dishes from waste PLA ♻️ the other day. Really nice finish, but still a few too many air bubbles so they should’ve stayed in the oven for longer. #preciousplastic #onethingaweek

Wondering if it's possible to construct affordable helical Darreius-type wind turbine blades from #PreciousPlastic segmented injection moulds.

Good day at the @preciousplasticmunich workspace today. Finally got most of our 3D printing waste sorted nicely into their buckets, and started making some soap dishes from the stuff that was too small to sort properly 🥳 #onethingaweek #preciousplastic #cleanshophappyshop

Maybe look up https://preciousplastic.com/ and see if they're taking soft plastics, I know some of their sites do. And I know they have a few in Australia.

The thought of throwing my soft plastics out after all these years, seems completely wrong. Why aren’t people buying Redcycle’s plastics at the other end? Park benches, council bins, additive for bitumen apparently. It had a l…

Guess I’ll start posting #onethingaweek stuff over here now. This week without pictures, but I started getting the #preciousplastic Munich workspace cleaned up again (which also happens to be my electronics workspace these days 😅🥳)
