This project takes microplastics out of a factory machine and converts them into usable plastic pellets.
To provide an efficient, Eco-friendly, and easy way to increase factory revenue using recycled materials.
Main Ideas/Goals of Prototype
Our machine uses dialysis tube-based filters to remove microplastics and other pollutants from the targeted air.
The microplastics that the machine collects will be melted down into bigger plastic pellets for use in more plastic products.
An easy way to rotate/swap filters for longer durability and more efficiency.
Dialysis tubing can collect some of the smallest microplastics, ensuring cleaner air and more microplastics collected.
