Positive Change Through Plastic Recycling!
The movement is aimed at the idea that plastic is an inherently valuable and precious material!
It has many great use-cases because of it’s unique properties, although those same properties can become troublesome in other cases.
The plastic itself isn’t the problem, the problem is how we humans handle it.
Precious Plastic seeks to create sustainable recycling systems and to build machines to develop new use-cases for up-cycled plastic products.
Precious Plastic Missoula is currently a boot-strapping garage based start-up located within the University District that is working with the larger movement Precious Plastic to research and develop solutions for our local Missoula Montana community.
We like to keep plastic off our streets, out of our oceans, and out of the stomachs of our wildlife. We need your help to build plastic recycling machines so that I can keep Missoula’s trash from littering our environment and turn that trash into durable goods instead! We are strong advocates for increasing plastic recycling, turning plastic into useful items, and picking up trash in our communities.
Precious Plastic is more than just recycling, it is REUSING.
The process is simple… Collect, Clean, Shred and Re-Mold it!

Setting up such a workshop would allow for plastic in Missoula, Montana to be RECYCLED, REUSED and REPURPOSED. An added benefit to such a workshop would be that a large amount of the plastic would be sourced from disgarded plastics, like those thrown away and littered (bottle caps, plastic film, coffee cup lids)
Together we can do our part to clean up the world’s plastic pollution problem!
The repurposed items produced would be sold, increasing the amount of purposefully reused plastic in the world.
The more plastic we can up-cycle, the better!
I’m sure we have all felt saddened by images such as this one…
By recycling plastic locally, we can keep these small plastic parts from getting into the ocean and killing wildlife and polluting our seafood.
