    We are a nonprofit associated with Smart Campus at The Ohio State University, implementing the Precious Plastic

    closed-loop recycling process developed by Dave Hakkens. We are the “Community solution to plastic pollution”. Our
    goals are to engage with the diverse Buckeye community, inspire people to create with their plastic waste, and educate
    about recycling through educational outreach, recycling programs, and community demos.
    Plastic is an essential component of our economy; plastic’s ubiquity and relative low cost has led people to disregard its
    finite nature. The life of a plastic bottle is generally a short one; the consumer buys the bottle, drinks the product, and
    tosses it. But, plastic does not go away. Almost every piece of plastic created still exists today; that old toothbrush, your
    single-use bottles, and countless shopping bags for example. Unfortunately when you toss that plastic bottle, it usually
    ends up in our oceans, waterways, and communities; causing negative impacts on ecosystems and our environment at
    large. We don’t like plastic waste in our community and we want to change the way we use this material by first creating
    4 recycling machines, a shredder, extruder, compressor, and injection machine, that everyone can use to create from their
    plastic waste.
    Campus based workspace:
    We have acquired a temporary workspace at the Center for Automotive Research for the Summer and beginning of
    Autumn semester. However, a permanent workspace located closer to would allow for easier access to the recycling
    machines and more engagement with students. This initiative encourages environmentally conscious members from both
    the university community and Columbus-area community to collaborate to reduce the plastic waste of the Buckeye
    community. For example, Mechanical Engineering students are encouraged to design and construct the machines and
    provide workspace-users with the knowledge to safely operate the machines and create with their plastic materials.
    Business students are encouraged to fundraise and market this initiative, thereby applying classroom skills while gaining
    real-world professional experience and connecting with the community. Members of the College of Design are
    encouraged to utilize the workspace and work with plastic as a medium in exciting ways. These designs could be used to
    promote the project among the community and explore the limitations of the workspace.

    Engagement/Outreach:
    We have contacted Worthington City Schools, specifically Michelle Gouhin from Linworth Alternative Program and
    Vicki Gnezda the director of communications for Worthington Schools, to begin developing our educational outreach
    program. A sustainable community must consciously be aware of its environmental impact in order to implement
    sustainable designs. Educating a community on its relationship with the environment allows it to be sustainable. This
    educational outreach program would demonstrate the precious plastic process and educate on society’s relationship with
    natural systems. This outreach program would design and create educationally adapted plastic processing machines to
    demonstrate the process to schools, outreach program events, and other community organizations. This outreach program
    would schedule experts, through the university, to educate the community on environmental well-being. This project
    would provide workspaces for the Buckeye community to create with their plastic and get hands-on-experience with the
    recycling process. Through these innovative workspaces, the project would educate people on mold designs, plastic
    material properties, plastic interaction with the environment, and other relevant educational materials.

    Ford C3 Grant:
    We were recently notified that we made it to the top 20 finalists for the Ford College Community Challenge. As part of
    this grant, we must provide a high-quality video, approximately 2 minutes long, that highlights the project goals and
    community impact. In addition, a hi-res file of OSU’s logo, a detailed promotions plan, social media links, relevant
    university website links, and PR contacts for this project.
