About the project
Mad Plastic, founded by the innovative trio of Joseph Klatt, Carolina Espinoza, and Yann Chauvin, is revolutionizing the world of plastic recycling from their base in Portugal. Emerging from the former Precious Plastic collaborations team, they’ve embarked on a mission to equip the next wave of global recyclers with essential tools and expertise. They focus on distributing small-scale, user-friendly, and CE-certified plastic recycling machines worldwide, enabling individuals to transform local plastic waste into valuable products.
The impact of Mad Plastic’s vision is already evident across the globe. Their compact, easily disassembled machines have been installed in diverse locations, including Nigeria, Algeria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, Gabon, Senegal, the United States, France, Spain, and Portugal. By making high-quality recycling technology accessible, Mad Plastic is not just tackling waste but empowering communities and fostering innovation in sustainable product creation.
