Precious Plastic was awarded 10.000€ by Stimulerings Fond to develop Version 2.
In March 2016 we officially relaunched Precious Plastic. Version 2 was developed throughout 2015 in The Netherlands with a team of 3 in-house plus a few more remote volunteers.
Precious Plastic was awarded 10.000€ by Stimulerings Fond to develop Version 2.
With the money just received Dave put out a call for engineers to help improve the machines. Kees was quick to reply and helped throughout the year. Taco was not so quick but was so keen to help that got himself a ticket and also joined the team in The Netherlands.
Machines were developed in The Netherlands. Whereas website, logo and digital assets were designed and developed remotely.
New machines need new logo. Together with our online community we design a new logo for Precious Plastic. Logo that we still use today (with a small update).
Engineers and machine builders helped onsite while designers and developers volunteered remotely for up to 10 months release Version 2 to the world.

Yes, the Dutch machine builder that replied to the video! He ended up putting way more of his time into the project. He is the reason the machines are rock-solid.

The Mexican guy that came voluntarily and paid his ticket to help out the project. Still amazed by this! Although his time was limited due to stupid visa reasons he put all his energy into improving the machines!

He was suddenly in our workshop all the way from Berlin, amazing! He is now responsible for the Design & Strategy at Precious Plastic.

Dave met him on twitter, said he wanted to code a website. Boy, he really loves to try out the latest technologies and develop for the web. Half of the time I haven’t got a clue what he means. But he always gets it done!

I share my workspace with this fellow. He is always in for a good brainstorm about Precious Plastic. And he has also been helping out making the instruction videos super easy to understand.

I share my workspace with this guy as well. He has been using his aesthetic and creative skills to show others the possibilities of what you can make with plastic.
