What is RecreateIt?
At RecreateIt, we believe in giving plastic a second life. Instead of letting plastic waste end up in landfills, we transform it into valuable, usable household items - all while promoting local sustainability and community involvement.
RecreateIt is a revolutionary initiative that combines community recycling, cutting-edge 3D printing technology, and renewable energy to create a more sustainable future. Powered by net-zero energy, each of our labs operates from a modified shipping container and is equipped with a granulator, dryer, and a powerful GigabotX 3D printer to turn discarded plastic into beautifully designed, functional objects.
