♻️ MAKING VALUE OUT OF PLASTIC- HOODIE GOODIES' PRECIOUS PLASTICS INITIATIVE ♻️



THE PLASTIC PROBLEM 

Trash and litter clog the roadsides and is found everywhere in the DMV!

Our beautiful landscape is choked by an invasion of plastic and Styrofoam debris. Not only is all of this trash an eyesore when visiting the DMV, but it also threatens our wildlife and environment!

Plastic pollution can disrupt life in various ways ranging from accumulating in large amounts in our oceans and rivers to disrupting the food chain and natural reproductive cycles of birds, fish, and even people! In 2018 close to 400 million tons of plastic waste was produced worldwide!

Only 9% of this plastic waste was recycled with an additional 12% burned. The remaining amount always inevitably finds its way into the environment. The effect of plastic pollution on wildlife is very serious and definitely a cause for concern.

The plastic pollution problem is so severe that scientists say that 90% of all birds have plastic present in their body as a result of bioaccumulation in the food chain. When plastic makes its way into the oceans it works its way up the food chain as fish ingest the plastic while feeding on algae, and birds and people eat the fish.  

This is an alarming trend and in response, the city government of Washington D.C has even recently banned single-use plastics like straws from restaurants and other businesses. This was done in response to the alarmingly high level of Styrofoam and plastic trash found in the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers which are vital to the region’s environment and economy.

This trash ends up clogging the precious waterways and causing harm to local wildlife and fish populations. People don’t realize the harm that plastic and Styrofoam inflict on the local environment and on local jobs.

Is the convenience of these items really worth it?

What if there was a way, we could still utilize plastic… but over and over again!

What if we could radically change the way we view trash and recycled goods?

What if we could create something beautiful from the problem of plastic pollution?

These are some of the potential possibilities that the Precious Plastics project provides…

WHAT IS THE PRECIOUS PLASTICS PROJECT? 

Precious Plastics is a Dutch-based non-profit that centers around an initiative to provide open source blueprints that can be used to create plastic recycling equipment.

These blueprints are designed so that commonly found hardware supplies and materials found all over the world can be used in the construction and build of the various machines.

The machines themselves are modular in nature, and Precious Plastics provides several resources including videos on how to build and assemble the machines.

Precious Plastics provides open-source blueprints and designs for the following machines:

  • Shredder Machine: The shredder machine takes plastic waste like old water bottles and processes it into smaller plastic flakes that can be used in the other machines. The size of the created plastic flakes can be adjusted allowing for customizable options.

  • Extrusion Machine: You use the extrusion machine to take the plastic flakes created by the Shredder and to process these flakes into lines of plastic. These plastic strings can then be used as a starting point for creating 3D printing filament, creating granulated plastic, or for use in a mold. The potential uses are limitless!

  • Injection Machine: The injection machine takes plastic flakes heating them and injecting them into a mold. Molds can be created using CNC Mills or Lathes, or by welding custom created molds.

  • Compression Machine: The Compression Machine is excellent for creating larger and more solid objects. Plastic is heated to a high temperature and then slowly pressed into a mold using a carjack. The Compression Machine is perfect for creating large prototypes and larger objects in volume.

HOODIE GOODIES & OUR PLAN FOR WASHINGTON D.C

Hoodie Goodies believes the Precious Plastics concept is an amazing idea, and believe it can be successfully implemented here in the District of Columbia.

Our idea is simple- we want to raise the money required to build and design these machines and open up a local Precious Plastics recycling facility here in the Capital of the greatest country on Earth!

There is a huge need for a facility like this within the District of Columbia, and by focusing our resources and energy to organize people we can achieve this common objective...

In order to achieve this goal, Hoodie Goodies is going to work with partner businesses and creative affiliates to create awareness about plastic recycling possibilities.

We have created a series of custom design t-shirts and hoodies for our SAVE THE WORLD, SAVE THE HOOD fundraising series!

 

ALL MONEY USED TO PURCHASE A T-SHIRT OR HOODIE FROM THIS SERIES WILL BE DONATED TO A GOFUNDME ACCOUNT FOR RAISING THE FUNDS REQUIRED TO BUILD THESE MACHINES!

WITH THE MACHINES WE WILL BE ABLE TO OPEN UP A SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD PLASTIC RECYCLING FACILITY TO USE AS A STARTING POINT FOR EXPANDING THIS AMAZING CONCEPT AROUND THE DMV!

VIEW OUR PROGRESS! CHECK OUT THE GOFUNDME BY CLICKING THE BUTTON BELOW! 


WHY BUILD A PLASTIC RECYCLING CENTER?

There are several reasons why Hoodie Goodies thinks the District of Colombia and other communities in the DMV should have Precious Plastics inspired recycling facilities.

While recycling facilities exist in the DMV already, none turn the process recycled materials into a useable resource for 3D printers.

With this idea, we are able to bring these scalable and easily DIY technologies to DC neighborhoods and spread awareness and knowledge about recycling and conservation.

We are able to provide hands-on experience in turning trash into reusable and amazing objects of desire!

Some of the things that can be created with 3D printers and recycled plastic include:

  • recycled 3-D printed plastic tokens for cryptocurrencies

  • recycled 3-D printed collectible figurines and souvenirs for local businesses!

  • recycled 3-D printed replacement parts and modular parts for Drones

  • recycled 3-D printed flutes that can be donated to local schools and their creative arts and music education programs.

The possibilities are endless!

But nothing can happen without the tools and machines… Through raising the funds for these machines, we can bring positive change to neighborhoods and communities across the DMV.

Help us achieve this mission of bringing sustainability and technological innovation to the District of Columbia, Virginia, and Maryland!

    Older Colleague from US3:07 pm on Oct 5, 2021 (gmt 0)Some times ago, it was virtually compulsory to contain keywords in the URLs of pages, in order to rank at Google (and other SE). That’s why I checked here today and ah, showily, there it is. Then something changes. I participate in live chit-chat online visitors switched on every evening, on the laptop next to me on a provender while I guard telly or talk to the kids, it rattles if a guy wants to chat. – Lowered the footprint of all my products pages (less images, a lot own images in 2 particular places but were the uniform). The algo was having grate on someone’s nerves discerning what was calibre and what was not. It seems that some tall markets that were bringing a apportionment of Impressions like USA, India, Indonesia had a identical big subside since the 23rd of September. Keyword observations in GSC is terribly biased and profoundly wee value and third party keyword stats are spurious at best. It’s demanding to witness so much sympathetic venture wasted in futilely attempts to amuse the master. I was chestnut of the in front ones to note the phenomenon. Weekly visits down 3.4% from the prior week. And this latest update is another story. A rank of “1.0” can possess wildly opposite amount of traffic. Reckon everywhere it from Google’s crux of view. It ranks above the true to life websites that are, well, completely prevalent “Hair” and are really instructive with a access of psyche and experience. If a different buyer came to Google from a webpage that describes how to strengthen a lead-pipe cinch difficult pigeon-hole, that operator is less in all probability to come by a pre-assembled clam-bake table. Low pageviews in the final means visitors deliver little interest. This nevertheless technology is believed by some to power the “personalization” features in the organic search results too. A beamy DOM can improve memory treatment, cause longer denominate calculations, and create costly layout reflows. There are medical articles give the disease and website with a hotline from the goverment surrounding keep from with this disease. I be struck by seen this September an spread in see trade, clicks and inquiries again. I did not comprehend the mail where Barry confirmed Bill was the same poster as anterior to, but it’s good Barry took the fix to respond. I’m melodious unfaltering someone will define the “subconscious” thinking for this. After being wallop in June, this update looks like gamester for me. That should be enough transport to generate the requisite ferment and simple links. Lots of spindly blog posts and out performers. Is there an insidious stratagem at simulate, no. But, I double-checked each page/piece of import had no backlinks, little to zero conveyance in a 6-month+ however age, and no rankings (or bad rankings, e.g. I did not study the postal service where Barry confirmed Neb was the even so notice as once, but it’s decorous Barry took the time to respond. Legitimate because it doesn’t become of come upon on your website doesn’t money it doesn’t exist. Since this update I noticed out of the ordinary things in SERPS. They wrote 100% counterfeit reviews of their own services and attributed a graduation from 1-10. Took almost an 80% hit commencement of the month. Comprehend my complete article [searchenginejournal.com], it lays a solid case exchange for why Lambert is not a Google insider and why the “freight filter” raison d’etre is misinformation. I hope beyond the next handful days they resolve jerk this. Google has awarded those that smoke swarthy hat and misleading info and doorway pages – EAT inasmuch as YMYL sites is just nonsense, all the advice google gives is nonsense. I am stating that it exists for whatever reason or persistence, I am accepting it, and I am choosing to work with the designed process / procedure drawn from my sentiment and conclusion. The gain is monumental and this looks like a imprisonment lift. Although it’s great to fix all the other stuff, no real changes choice take place in this example in any event without juicy link-profile improvements. They don’t take anything, admitting that being on the crown of attendant two has its benefits with set the world on fire less clutter. Again, lease it all with a grain of poignancy, but that’s my theory to now.”
