Filament Creation

Here is a short video illustrating how bottles are turned into filament. They are stripped and fed into our machine, where the plastic is melted and extruded. Our process allows all forms of PET to be recycled: thinner bottles will be stripped thicker and thicker bottles will be stripped thinner, allowing for identical filament characteristics.

Clean-up Tools

Bag Holder CAD Design

Bag Holder

Our bag holder is able to hold 20+ lbs of trash. It secures the trash bag in place, keeping it open. This allows volunteers to hold the bag open in one hand and the trash picker in another, increasing efficiency and making the process less frustrating.

Trash Picker CAD Design

Trash Picker

Our trash picker operates without any additional materials or mechanisms – it is 100% 3D printed! It's 30 inches long and can easily pick up items ranging from water bottles to plastic bags.

Tools in Action

Watch how our bag holder and trash picker work together to make cleanup efforts more efficient and less frustrating for volunteers.
