Dutchman Dave Hakkens wants to solve the planet’s plastic problem with a build-it-yourself home recycling system that will make the material easy to reuse, according to Popular Science magazine.

His respective Precious Plastic system includes four appliances: One chops up and shreds clean plastic refuse into scraps. The other three heat and ¬reuse that plastic by squeezing it into filament for 3D printers, injecting it into a mold to form small objects, or compressing it into a mold to make larger items. 

The machine designs are open-source, and Hakkens provides blueprints, instructional videos, and directions online. 

In his words, building one of the four Precious Plastic ¬machines costs between $135 and $215 and takes three to five days.
