Plastic Smoothie is an open and creative project with a very simple goal: giving plastic waste a new life. The starting point was the need to find an easy and affordable way to recycle plastic in a maker environment. Project philosophy: 1. Affordable: we are trying to use electrical appliances for most of the project due to the reduced cost and availability. 2. Accessible: the machines should be easily found in stores or online and their use shouldn’t be difficult. 3. Open: this project is shared under a Creative Commons license and anyone can be part of it.
