A simple slide show about a device that i created that will help simplify the recycling process.

2. Recycling can
be some times
confusing.
Plastic recycling
is sometimes
perceivedas the
only mean for
recycling

3. Recycling is
based on the
three R's
Reduce, reuse
and recycle

4. Recycling is a full
spectrum of acts
and initiatives
focused on
available resources
and how to save
them through
conservative and
reoccurring use and
then reusing them
in different forms
by
remanufacturing.
 Based on this I though about the areas used for waste and how we
can reduce it. I thought about our daily activities and noticed that
bottled water takes a lot of space although it is light and empty

5. I wanted to
create a small
device with the
following
criteria:
 No power requirements
 Easy to use
 Small in size
 Printable by 3d printing at home ( I published the design as open
source to public)

6. The process of
manufacturing
the device
included:
 I designed a small cylinder in sketchup 3d modeling software
 I printed the first prototype and tested it
 I made necessary adjustment to the 3d model and printed the
second prototype
 The results were magnificent and I managed to reduce the size of
PET bottles waste to almost one third

7. Way to go
 I intend to add an armature
 It would be good to reduce force needed to compress the bottle
through torque conversion by using levers or threaded design
