Together we decide whats most important to work on next
We use your money to develop new open source solutions
We provide reports and updates on how the money is spend and the impact it has
We enable people in locations where conventional recycling can't reach, from remote islands to the Himalayas!
Your money doesn't support just one organisation or recycling team. It helps thousands of people to recycle plastic around the world
You can follow us in videos since our first development 10 years ago. Every tool we developed and struggle we had.
What started over 10 years ago as my graduation project grew into something much bigger than I ever expected. Today, people all over the world use the tools, share knowledge, and build their own recycling setups, from cities to remote places.
The impact is global, made possible by a small team, many volunteers, and a very limited budget. We share everything open source, have no investors, and are set up as a non profit to stay true to our mission. In recent years, we slowed down. Not because we wanted, or the problem was solved. But because we needed a model to financially sustain the work to keep innovating.
The community we’ve grown so far is just the beginning. There is lots more work to do. With memberships, we can build a stronger foundation, grow a dedicated team, and keep developing many more long term solutions to reduce plastic waste around the world. The more people joining the bigger the projects we can do.
If you believe in this work,
this is how you can be part of it.
Join us!

You fund open-source tools that reach thousands, that's the main thing. You also get a voting right on where we go next, access to the community space, and the good feeling of backing something real.
Straight into the work: developing better machines, researching the plastics no one else will touch, running the online community and support recyclers around the world. We're a small team, not a big organisation with a big overhead.
Not at all. Some members build machines, some collect waste, some do research. Plenty just believe in the mission and want to make it possible for others. All of it counts.
Yes. Every machine design, blueprint, tutorial and business plan is open-source and free to download. Always has been, always will be. Members are what keep it that way.
Yes. It's a monthly membership, no lock-in. Stay as long as it feels worth it.
