Dive Brief:

• Dave Hakkens, a Dutch inventor, designed a series of recycling devices called Precious Plastic that can transform used plastics into new products designed by consumers. 
• The machines could convert consumers into the "recycling plant and the manufacturer" by eliminating the need to rely on professional companies for those services. 
• The machines created for this project include an extrusion machine, rotational machines and plastic injection machine. A shredder is reportedly still in the works at this time. 

Dive Insight:

The blueprints for the machines are open source, and available for people to download. The instructions don't cost anything to access.
