Take a 3D printer, waste plastic, four brilliant minds and the charity Water for Humans and you have one very interesting project indeed.
WOOF (Washington Open Object Fabricators) won the 3D4D Challenge back in October for their design that will take waste plastic out of landfills, break it down and, using a 3D printer, turn it into composting toilets and rainwater harvesting systems for the developing world. Talk about two birds, one stone.
A clever way to reuse all that dumped plastic and a brilliant idea that will help improve the lives of many.
P.S. If you like this then you'll love The Polyfloss Factory. A candyfloss machine that takes waste plastic and spins it out into plastic fibre to be reused for all sorts of designs.
