This project can help advance several [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainable_Development_Goals Sustainable Development Goals] (SDGs) in various ways: | |||
* Goal 1: No poverty: Products that can be produced with locally available resources support the development of local enterprises and thus contribute to the creation of new jobs and income. In perspective, an alternative form of industrialisation is sought, which is based on the local production of technologies. This applies especially to the production of goods in cooperatives or small companies, which are dedicated to products for the satisfaction of basic needs, such as in the fields of agriculture, food processing, house construction, etc. | |||
* SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure - Individuals can contribute to the development of sustainable infrastructure and technologies that promote responsible consumption and production. This promotes innovation and helps build a more sustainable future. | |||
* SDG 13: Climate Action - By recycling plastic waste and turning it into usable products, individuals can reduce the need for new plastic production, which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. This helps to mitigate climate change and promote a more sustainable future. | |||
* SDG 14: Life Below Water - Plastic pollution is a significant threat to marine life, and by reducing the amount of plastic waste that enters our oceans, we can help protect marine ecosystems and promote a healthy and sustainable ocean. | |||
* SDG 15: Life on Land - Plastic pollution also affects terrestrial ecosystems and wildlife. By recycling plastic waste and reducing the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfills or littering our landscapes, we can help protect land-based ecosystems and promote a more sustainable future. | |||
Overall, the design and manufacture of a DIY recycled plastic extruder can contribute to several Sustainable Development Goals, promoting sustainable infrastructure, responsible consumption and production, climate action, and the protection of our natural ecosystems. | |||

Achievements, promotion
From the publication of this project, by Precious Plastic, an interesting dynamic has been generated on its YouTube channel, where it was widely accepted by technicians and academics interested in building the machine.
Additionally, on the project page, a group of initiatives is shown where the equipment could be built with some variants.
Thanks to this and other projects, Precious Plastic has carried out various events, making known to the world the feasibility of building these equipment, being an active organization in the dissemination of Appropriate Technologies.
Sustainable development goals
This project can help advance several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in various ways:
- Goal 1: No poverty: Products that can be produced with locally available resources support the development of local enterprises and thus contribute to the creation of new jobs and income. In perspective, an alternative form of industrialisation is sought, which is based on the local production of technologies. This applies especially to the production of goods in cooperatives or small companies, which are dedicated to products for the satisfaction of basic needs, such as in the fields of agriculture, food processing, house construction, etc.
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure - Individuals can contribute to the development of sustainable infrastructure and technologies that promote responsible consumption and production. This promotes innovation and helps build a more sustainable future.
- SDG 13: Climate Action - By recycling plastic waste and turning it into usable products, individuals can reduce the need for new plastic production, which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. This helps to mitigate climate change and promote a more sustainable future.
