Recycled Plastic Storage Containers
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I’m launching a project that turns used plastic containers into brand-new household storage units. The objective is clear: take post-consumer plastic, process it responsibly, and deliver attractive, functional storage solutions that can go right back into everyday homes.
Here’s what I need from you:
• A practical, small-scale recycling workflow—from sorting and cleaning through shredding, melting, and molding—that fits typical HDPE and PP household plastics.
• Design concepts (with 3D files) for stackable, durable storage containers in at least two sizes.
• Guidance on mold fabrication and the most cost-effective machinery or outsourced services for short production runs.
• A concise bill of materials and step-by-step instructions so local operators can replicate the process safely.
Successful delivery means I can hand your documentation to a workshop and have them create the first batch without guesswork. If you’ve worked with injection molding, extrusion, or community recycling programs like Precious Plastic, your experience will be invaluable. Let’s turn waste into something people actually want to keep.
