Download-Kit

We've created one MASSIVE .zip file. It's around 700 MB and contains everything you need to get started: blueprints, posters, labels, CAD models etc... Basically, the download kit is the whole Precious Plastic Universe! The kit is organized into folders, with an introduction text and videos from the Precious Plastic website that you should make sure to watch. It contains a wealth of information on how to set up and operate plastic recycling machines, as well as designs and drawings for the machines themselves.

Before you download

Probably you don't need all this information. So we've also created Starterkits, smaller packages with specific information and examples. Much easier to digest and understand. Have a look at our Starterkits to see which fits you: πŸ‘‰ Collection Point: https://community.preciousplastic.com/how-to/set-up-a-collection-point πŸ‘‰ Community Point: https://community.preciousplastic.com/how-to/set-up-a-community-point πŸ‘‰ Machine Shop: https://community.preciousplastic.com/how-to/set-up-a-machine-shop πŸ‘‰ Shredder Workspace: https://community.preciousplastic.com/how-to/set-up-a-shredder-workspace πŸ‘‰ Extrusion Workspace: https://community.preciousplastic.com/how-to/set-up-an-extrusion-workspace πŸ‘‰ Sheetpress Workspace: https://community.preciousplastic.com/how-to/set-up-a-sheetpress-workspace πŸ‘‰ Injection Workspace: https://community.preciousplastic.com/how-to/set-up-an-injection-workspace πŸ‘‰ Mix Workspace: https://community.preciousplastic.com/how-to/set-up-a-mix-workspace

Choose your space in the Universe πŸͺ

The Universe is setup to be a big global ecosystem, people around the world collaborating on plastic recycling. In order to do this properly we need different people and different expertise. So there are different roles to choose, some more technical, some more social and each Space plays a different role. In this way people can focus on their own task but locally all work together. We advise you to choose only one type of Space because it allows you to specialize and excel in your chosen area, contributing effectively to the collaboration.
