Recycling

The Million Waves Project launched a new initiative that hopes to both reduce ocean plastics while also tackling another problem – the lack of affordable prosthetic limbs available in the developing world.

Staff at WoeLab, a community technology hub and network of local inventors and entrepreneurs, built a 3D printer using parts from old printers, computers and scanners.

They are creating a system that grinds up and melts printer plastic to make new spools of filament that can then be re-used in campus' 100+ 3D printers.
