Portable recycling plant "Trashpresso"

In developed countries most people have no problems with disposing of garbage, they just throw it in a special container, where it then take special trucks. But in isolated communities often lack the infrastructure, i.e. there is no garbage or recycle waste on site. To solve this problem created Trashpresso — waste recycling plant, powered by solar panels.





The system was developed by Miniwiz, known for various environmental initiatives, including the production of building blocks made from discarded plastic, and a Nike concept store in Shanghai, which is built entirely of materials produced from discarded bottles, cans, and DVDs.





Waste recycling machine Trashpresso is placed in a 12-metre container that can be transported to remote areas where the need to recycle garbage. After unpacking, place the system can washing, shredding, melting and shaping the plastic and fabric into the tiles, which, according to developers, can be used as a floor or roofing material. suitable for indoor and outdoor flooring, or further refinement. Trashpresso fully self-sufficient thanks to solar energy. Even the water he uses to wash the debris will be used several times.





"Until now, recycling of plastic was limited to a small number of waste treatment plants. Now Trashpresso can change this situation," said Arthur Huang, co-founder and CEO of Miniwiz. published
