We equip schools and communities with Aussie-made recycling machines and educational programs to unlock resource potential and empower the next generation of changemakers. In 2018, we were looking for a responsible manufacturing solution when we were introduced to the Precious Plastic concept, and within a few short months, Precious Plastic Melbourne was born! In addition to creating disruptive de
sign to positively impact the planet, our core focus areas include:
• Helping local organisations produce functional products from recycled plastic (rather than virgin)
• Recycling traditionally 'hard to recycle' plastics
• Utilising 100% recycled materials (no added virgin materials or binding agents), and
• Providing accessible, local manufacturing options - here's to Aussie made! Within the first 6 months of announcing our initiative, we collected over 300,000 plastic bottle caps from our local community! Nowadays, we're a one-stop-shop for closed loop systems and design in Australia. We work with like-minded individuals and organisations, assisting community recyclers to set up their own plastic recycling workspaces. We believe our relationship with plastic needs rethinking - plastics are versatile materials, however the way we use them is incredibly wasteful. We're empowering organisations and communities to rethink the way we design, use, and reuse plastics, creating a circular economy for this ubiquitous commodity. By working with us, you're supporting our mission to create a circular, waste-free future, turn trash into useful products, and grow the micro-recycling community in Australia.
