This project seeks to enable anyone with the power to identify plastic types. making small-scale plastic recycling feasible.
From a problem I saw
While helping set up Precious Plastic Recycling workspaces around the world I noticed the difficulty in identifying the type of plastic. This posed a serious bottleneck for recycling and got me on the quest to simplify this process.
To a solution I needed
During my master’s thesis, I took 6 months to fully dig into this problem, building solutions the waste collectors would actually use. It resulted in the Open source hardware project, the Plastic Scanner!
