WHAT DOES PRECIOUS PLASTIC NYC DO?

 The PPNYC team consults, educates, develops, and implements neighborhood solutions related to the global plastic waste problem. We collect plastic "trash" from the streets, local businesses, schools, and cleanups. We process this plastic into a usable raw material with many applications. We then produce building stock, art, products, furniture, and whatever else you can imagine that can be made from plastic. We partner with brands, organizations, artists, and individuals to create circular strategies and production.  Using small-scale, closed-loop manufacturing methodologies allows us to address waste at the ground level, with tangible, beautiful end results. We help improve our city’s current infrastructure and make it more equitable for the community to participate. The mission is to keep neighborhoods free of plastic waste while simultaneously creating opportunities for waste reuse in the arts, design, education, and circular manufacturing.
