What does this brand sell?
Precious Plastic is a global non-profit organisation that empowers people to start a business that recycles plastic. They share the knowledge and tools to start a business so that we can fix the planet’s plastic problem, together. They are an open source project, meaning that all knowledge (research, development, videos, code, drawings, materials) is publicly available and free. You can use their platform to start your own business to help reduce plastic waste, to connect to others and share tools and workspaces. They have resources available to start a plastic collection point, a community, a machine shop, and many other options. Alternatively, you can support their platform by donating to them. They believe we can only tackle plastic waste by small-scale, widespread projects.
