Fun facts
Plastic Smoothie started as a DIY solution to the management of all plastic waste generated from 3D printing, which can’t be easily recycled
I ran the first tests on my kitchen oven at home. I overheated the plastic and it boiled. I bought a mini oven the day after.
Plastic Smoothie was heavily inspired by the amazing work of Precious Plastic, but focused on accessibility and FabLab environments.
