Global Initiatives
Some fantastic projects and global initiatives related to the Green Fablab.
Precious Plastic
Precious Plastic is a global community of hundreds of people working towards a solution to plastic pollution. Knowledge, tools and techniques are shared online, for free. So everyone can start (yes, you too!)
Plastic Bank
Plastic Bank creates social and environmental impact in areas with high levels of poverty and plastic pollution by turning plastic waste into a currency.
Open source development machines
Recyclebot
A RecycleBot is a waste plastic extruder that creates 3-D printer filament from waste plastic and natural polymers.
