Building on the success of their 2024 initiative, Fablab Benfica launches a new open call exploring the potential of solar-powered plastic recycling technology in community contexts. This 2025 call seeks proposals for collections of 3-5 products that demonstrate real-world impact in specific community settings.

Selected teams will develop their projects at Fablab Benfica with technical support, access to Sun Factory equipment, and materials. All projects will be released under Creative Commons licensing, contributing to the growing body of open-source, sustainable design solutions.
