Our Mission
Our Journey
In early 2018, a few engineering students at Monash University came across Dave Hakkens and his creation of Precious Plastic. With a desire to engage and educate the wider community, the necessity for more portable machines was born. Therefore, the development of the integration unit begun.
Dave Hakkens originally created four machines with the different needs to recycle plastic in small scale and efficiently. His original designs had the machines in a 40 foot shipping container. For the needs of Precious Plastic Monash, this would not suffice. Therefore, 40 engineering and design students created the Integration Unit. This development from planning to fabrication lasted 6 months. On Monash Open Day, the integration unit was unveiled to the public. This drew a lot of attention from the Australian public, with ABC News doing a story about the development of Precious Plastic Monash.
