PreciousPlastic – An Open Source Plastic Recycling Workshop

we are working on the same notion, but for textiles [1]. specifically for knitwear, we have designed a 3d-printable machine for unravelling the knit structure and processes for straightening, plying and spinning the yarn into a new raw material. we're documenting where we collect our source fiber and creating an audit trail for tracking the fiber back to its source via instagram [2].

totally in love with precious plastic. this project is so well documented, need to get some metal tools and build a shredder!
