Recycled Plastic Skateboard Decks
An open source manufacturing system to produce recycled plastic skateboard decks
In the fight against plastic waste, the designer is making a download kit containing all the information people need to make their own deck. To help fund the project, knight has launched a kickstarter campaign, allowing you to get your hands on the very first batch to be sold while supporting a small-scale plastic recycler. These are the first traditional popsicle decks in the world to be made from 100% recycled plastic. Also, this project creates a digital download kit containing all the information people need to make their own. The download kit will include all the information people need to start producing them: 3D models, engineering drawings, electronics schematics, assembly guide, build video, usage video, technical data sheets, and bill of materials. all this information will be shared online, open source for free, so that anybody in the world can download it, build their own and start making decks.
