Processing waste plastic bottles into phone cases
A group of young Italians have made a machine that can recycle used plastic bottles into a fashionable phone case for everyone.
The MyProGeneration machine is a product of 5 young people who live in Sicily town created in the framework of Biz Factory competition organized by schools last year. The final of the competition was held in Milan last month.
MyProGeneration is a smart device and impresses with its simplicity and efficiency.
According to the development team, the purpose of creating this machine is to help people strengthen their sense of environmental protection. The name "MyProGeneration" refers to the initiative and encourages other young people to boldly do something useful and work together to protect the environment.
In the final round of Biz Factory competition, the project attracted the attention of AXA Italia. The company will then fund the development team to commercialize the product.
MyProGeneration is a smart device and impresses with its simplicity but efficiency, especially when it is built by a group of very young friends. It uses 3D technology to print mold of phone cover with recycled plastic material.
Currently 4 models of MyProGeneration have been manufactured and delivered to customers. The development team is calling for more capital support from business partners to be able to mass produce this product.
