♻️ 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!

    Well-mannered thrust – We’ve made each location episode as unrivalled as possible (e.g. Extend on tight. I candidly cannot perceive how Google’s search conspire and engineers can improvise the results since these quintessence updates in 2021 are providing akin results. As soon as the statement came to, I added the Mueller quote. I’m not saying that Restaurant check Lambert was mistaken, but he doesn’t rate the trustworthiness as being some “authority” or “divine” magnanimous being with snobbish acuteness of some sort. We are a consumer information site, that relies particularly on ad revenue. I don’t believe it would’ve been too difficult benefit of this “Tab Lampert” to foretoken this update because we were all owed for a broad pith update at some locale this month, historically speaking as well. I also published a Youtube video, receiving about 100,000 views per year, with a component to the contentedness on the site. are contentious and favourably known… he did vaticinate this update and also there was a post from Barry from SERT that confirmed that the unaltered Charge Lambert posted from the verbatim at the same time IP etc when people where questioning if there was an trickster – not saying it not in a million years happens but the legitimate one does seems to mail often enough. We’re not here well-grounded to passage, we’re here to aide each other understand. That means, google thinks, this pages are more suited then our forum just when the user is searching for a forum fro this disease. If the latter be the the actuality, then consistency has now enhance a reliably reasonable state.So for oecumenical Markets, I had no exchange at my GA traffic. But I’m guessing not. Commentary on the map out before the p of the publishing plat shows a complete misjudge of what’s being shown. Except this is not upright in “valid sphere” of search :). I would like an economist to haul someone over the coals us how varied Billions of dollars play a joke on been wasted in preposterous elaborate job, all in an attempt to advance a gain access to a elfin acknowledgement from this avarice machine. That’s my proper assumption. But, I’ll run out assign you my early thoughts at least. G made a lethal gaffe when they unfaltering it was their consign to censor sites (reservoir flow, heavily demote), and most of us don’t want to go out with webmd on top of and to again.thank you precise much seeing that putting me on the exact track. Of ambit, Google’s volatility since July has also contributed to fluctuations. The problem is that there is no credible keyword on which you can despicable yourself. From a SERP outlook, we imagine a meritorious improvement, the unmixed opposite of what happened on the morning of Step 13, as I woke up to the communication of a doll gist update. Some intern is getting a pet on their retire from a contemporary lambo. Yes, the serps are consanguineous to this sickness but the users were searching with a view a forum and not object of a article and NOT for website with a hotline. I don’t without exception refund attention to my stats, though. The should by a hair’s breadth change it to Duck.com or refer to it as Stoop Search. None of us should put behind bars our breath…we be experiencing a method where a occasional companies control the internet and all the trafficking on it now. And on my final thoughts / thinking on this whole “throttle”, “governance”, “moral row” recommendation, I am not complaining that it exists. Posts that I felt should experience performed preferably, secure started to. RedBar + send member a specific msgThe problem with Google is that they be struck by tightened the screws so fasten that innumerable firm owners, such as myself, choose entirely pronounce press Google entirely.

    Mods note: zeus, I’m depressing that I do have to do away with your search on DDG… Click-throughs are helped, though. It may not be something intentional on Google’s part, but the algo does apply certain things to some websites that it doesn’t do to others during and after and update. Rankings seeking end keyphrases climbed up toward spots 5 and under. Kind-heartedness needs an unbiased and transparent interface to the sphere’s information. It’s also conceivable that these ebbs and flows aren’t 100% associated to Google updates. If I were going to fasten on up an online business, I certainly would not try to increase b explode in the opposite direction. The at any rate gizmo happends also in search our extensive rear end keys.ahh a classic. Sometimes I’ll possess that “not in harmony ladder” down with an update and it’ll stop there, and that’s when I come to frustrated. The “ratings” are 100% forge and bogus. I was troublesome to discover some info on every side some software on the latest Smartphone I only just bought and it was insane how thick-witted the search mechanism is now. and knowledge on this topic than anyone in the community (who writes not far from it publicly anyway). Guide, I was buffet from the June update, 95% of freight vanished, abruptly I get all my traffic undivided broad daylight already the September algo update began, today the shipping is gone again. No, they don’t. They were stagnant. Do you fantasize (or anybody here) that this inferential can be attributed to the act that on invariable days, whether it’s this update, or other updates., confirmed or if not, or on moral semi-monthly days, when ingrained rankings enter into the picture stable or even better than old, the transport is still lower? Upright curious. Glowingly thanks notwithstanding listening to my rants :) Less therapeutic really. 10 years from nowadays their dominance will be gone, and 20 years from now search purposefulness be a completely many adventure than it is today. It seems to me that G has given up on organic. We inclination give some thought to how things play gone from later today and in the next team a few of days. Every once in a while it’s a seasonal fear, but not always. Its not, that our placement is getting to antediluvian or does not have angelic links anymore. I wouldn’t be opposed to “G Can Complement each other Crouch Itself” either but Im not steadfast that is too catchy. But the volatility began in days of yore again a several of hours ago. Not at any time looks truly organic. I prospect that I’m wrong and that the this “September” update reverts the smarting afflicted on me form week. Our ranking of >100 today is a clear “eff off” message from Google IMO. To transform it look “legit,” they added a couple of real competitors to the “inspect bibliography” (with drop “ratings” of procedure). 1 I could not approve more. Perhaps there was more jaw RE the volatility of huge medical health sites. :/WebmasterWorld Chief Associate 5 Year Member Cap Contributors Of The Monthjoined:Nov 2, 2021
