A youth-led initiative turning plastic bottles into 3D printer filament
of plastic waste is recycled globally
of plastic enter oceans daily
lost annually due to plastic pollution
We are a group of high schoolers who want to reduce the strain of plastic pollution on the environment. With our machine, we repurpose plastic bottles into filament used to print community clean-up tools, such as trash pickers and bag holders. This creates a cyclical process: at ReSpindle, we repurpose waste into tools to then collect even more waste!
We attend Monmouth County events to raise awareness and showcase our project. We also donate the tools to volunteers at local environmental groups for them to use during clean-ups. Please reach out if you are interested or want to learn more!
