This Open-Source ‘Precious Plastic’ Project Is Changing What Waste Means And How Recycling Is Done

People involved in more than 400 projects around the world are using a recycling system that they downloaded for free from the internet. It’s from an open-source project called Precious Plastic, based in the Netherlands. The basic idea: Plastic can be a resource if you have the tools to turn it into beautiful new things.

“Plastic is a precious and valuable material. It’s just been kind of designed, used and marketed in the wrong way, in our view,” says Joseph Klatt, business guy with Precious Plastic.

That’s Klatt’s official title: business guy. He’s based in the Netherlands, but is originally from Ohio.
