A quick update to say thanks for your support and patience while we build the workshops. We have been gifted some valuable machinery which you can see Chris getting ready to rock below. Precious products are on the way! Keep collecting and stayed tuned to our socials.

This machine setup lets the 3D print fan take scrap and unwanted 3D prints, shreds them, melts and extrudes them and then re-spools them.....ready to be re-used multiple times. We aim to be shredding up CPLA coffee cup lids to be used as 3D print filament very soon.

A big thanks to our friends in Waterford for collecting so many caps! We are hoping to put these to good use soon as we nearly have a workshop ready in North Dublin to turn your caps into useful products. We are also working on a local recycling space for 3D print filament too.

Just a quick post to say we're having email issues at the moment so apologies for the delay in getting back to some . We aim to have normal service resumed ASAP. Do please keep collecting though on your side and on our side we're also working on workshops in Ballymun and UCD.

Tis the season, like every season to try cut down on unnecessary waste. Here's a couple of pics from some projects. The clocks are made of about 60 caps so keep collecting. If interested in these contact us: [email protected] #consiouschristmas #fewerbettergifts #eco

HELP IS NEEDED!

The @DublinPlastic team is in search of a seamless steel tube (I.D. 26 mm, O.D. 34) - we need 1 m to finish our injection machine! Please share the tweet so we can reach more people in Dublin! Thank you!

[Precious Plastic Dublin @DublinPlastic]

Day 1 of the @SciHackDay_Dub at @TOG_Dublin done. Frame of the injector is welded, electronics wired up, pieces were miscut and lessons learnt. Today we'll try to bring everything together with @CSomlai @JanKnappe @IDinapas @ReynaudEmmanuel #preciousplastic #recycling #hackathon

[Precious Plastic Dublin @DublinPlastic]

We are about to start building our injection machine during @SciHackDay_Dub 2020 event!
