“I first encountered a 3D printer in Secondary school during my D&T curriculum. As public plastic recycling awareness grew, it got me thinking how to make recycling modernized and more engaging. Thus, this project hopes to unite the concept of recycling and 3D printing”
edric Ong
“My final year project required me to work with 3D printers. While printing a prototype, I noticed a large quantity of unused printed plastic models from failed prints or support structures just thrown away. This led me to find solutions to give life to plastic waste through 3D printing”

“Plastic has become such a commodity in our lives. However, plastic recycling rates have not been keeping up with the speed of plastic production and wastage. Hence, i felt the urgency to provide a platform for easy public access to reduce, reuse and recycle plastic waste.”
