2. 2 Problem Statement The problem or challenge (Plastic Waste ) Plastic waste poses severe environmental damage, polluting lakes, rivers, and oceans, endangering aquatic and land animals, and damaging soil and groundwater. It contains toxins that contaminate water sources, harming animals and humans, with microplastics leading to health issues like cancers, lung disease, and birth defects. The production, use, and disposal of plastic contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions across the plastic value chain. Plastic pollution alters habitats and natural processes, reducing ecosystems' ability to adapt to climate change. Plastic does not biodegrade like other materials, taking up to 1,000 years to break down, contributing to the accumulation of waste in the environment. Plastic waste accumulates in various environments, including roadsides, rivers, oceans, drains, and landfills, leading to a crisis point.

3. 3 Proposed Solution Implementation of a comprehensive plastic recycling program to collect diverse plastic waste from households, businesses, and industries. Utilization of advanced sorting technologies to efficiently segregate plastic materials for recycling, ensuring high-quality input materials for filament production. Forging partnerships with 3D printer manufacturers or designing own to establish standardized specifications for recycled plastic filament, ensuring compatibility and quality. Deploying innovative recycling technologies like pyrolysis and chemical recycling to transform plastic waste into high-quality filament with properties akin to virgin plastic. Launching various awareness campaigns to encourage participation in plastic recycling, highlighting environmental and economic benefits. Providing incentives and subsidies to promote the adoption of recycled plastic filament, fostering sustainable manufacturing practices. Use of recycled materials in 3D printing, promoting a circular economy and reducing environmental impact.

4. 4 Introduc tion About product / service. Plastic recycling, a vital component of sustainable waste management, undergoes a transformative journey to become filament for 3D printing. This process begins with the collection of plastic waste from diverse sources. Advanced sorting technologies then segregate the plastics by type, ensuring consistent and high-quality material. Through innovative processing techniques like pyrolysis or chemical recycling, the plastic is converted into filament, maintaining properties akin to virgin plastic. Quality control measures uphold filament standards, enabling its widespread use in 3D printing applications. This integrated approach not only mitigates environmental harm but also fosters a circular economy by reducing dependency on new plastic materials.

5. 5 Key Activities Key activities and operations that are involved in creating our product / service. Prepare the plastic to be ground Grind plastic pieces into processable granules Dry the plastic shavings Fine grind Build an Arduino controlled cheap extrusion line Use the extrusion line Perform filament post-processing Print the recycled 3D filament
