Pultrusion Plastic Recycling with Engineers for a Sustainable World (ESW)

Home: New York, United States

Come check out how the Engineers for a Sustainable World (ESW Club) are recycling plastic bottles into raw materials for their 3D Printer! ESW students created their own Pultrusion machine to recycle campus plastic. The machine is capable of recycling discarded plastic water bottles collected on campus into 3D printing filament. ESW uses the machine to turn these bottles into something people can use instead of going to waste. They take the recycled waste turned filament and make toys, keychains and other things with the 3D printer. Come and see how pultrusion works!
