HDX Team 6 - Plastic Exchange

We aim to change the community's behaviour towards the plastic waste issue by building a circular economy as a business model that will give value to the community using plastic waste processing technology and creativity to make valuable and innovative textile products

GOAL:

To build a plastic yarn factory in Indonesia that can distribute the yarn back to the community, where community members can then make valuable textiles for selling domestically and internationally.

Rationale
The ability to generate value from the plastic is limited without the infrastructure for a circular economy within the community.
Assumption
There is available funds and equipment to enable the plastic exchange to realize the suggested solutions. The community members are capable of learning and operating a successful textile manufactoring business.
