Problem:
– Around 8 million pieces of plastic pollute our oceans daily. These macro and microplastics weigh up to 12 million tonnes, making up 60 to 90% of all marine debris.
– Additionally, one 3D machine is accessible to 43 000 South Africans.
Solution:
– We aim to create good quality 3D printed products from recycled PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) plastic found in drink and water bottles.
– We also aim to provide South Africans with access to 3D technologies.
Market:
The South African 3D printing Market is over $4.5 billion.
At SAFuturist we aim to convert that plastic waste into 3D-printed products to capture $1 million.
