Precious Plastic x BURG
Joining the Precious Plastic community with our own Plastic Recycling Factory
After an intensive workshop during this year's Wintersession (Wintersession Flasback) with a dozen skilled art and design students, Platform MAKE. is happy to announce that some first experiments with a fully functional Injection Molding machine took place. The Extrusion and Shredder machines have also been finished and will be available soon for students and staff to recycle our own plastic scrap materials. Many thanks to all participants and supporters for helping us in making this real!
