Hi all,
I’ve the idea to start recycling plastic in Dublin, Ireland. Anyone here on the same boat?
I’m at “idea development” – “research”- “design thinking” stage, working with Ideas Collective coaching program from Suas, and will have a showcase by the end of August.
Any comments, tips will be appreciated.
Cheers,
Gaby
Hello Gaby,
I’m in Belfast and just like you in in the thinking and buying stage….
How did you get on? Do you have a project up and running I’m hoping to get a project started here in Belfast real soon as sooner we start the better

Btw the Whatsapp group sounds like a good idea to me.

How did the meeting of March 22 go? What first steps do you consider?
Cheers,

Woop woop! Great! We are at least 5 people.
So I made some small steps. I created a facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/preciousplasticdublin/
So we can start to reach more people and raise an army, right?!
I also started to look into methods to upcycle/recycle plastic without any money investment. I started to crochet plastic bags and ironing food packaging.
I also made some research to apply for potential funding.
It would be great to meet up and brainstorm in person, I would be happy to set-up a whatsup group or something for a more instant communication and organise a personal meeting. Or is it possible here to setup a group messaging?
Hi there! Also based in Dublin, I’m absolutely thrilled by the idea and love to be involved.
Please let me know when. I have a few ideas.

Heyhey,
I would really love if we could all come together and have a precious plastic workshop in Dublin. Who would be interested? I think it would be great to meet in person and see who can contribute with what and what we still missing. Maybe we could set up a gofundme project for some initial funding.

Hey im in the same boat, you have any look with finding a company to build the parts. Are ye planning on building all the machines involved? Im researching on where to get parts or possibly the machine assembled so I can start straight away.
Hey gaby
I’m hopping to build one with my students in cork we’re currently looking for a company that will cut parts for us as we don’t have a metalwork room. But would love to link up.
