About
👋 Welcome to the Precious Plastic Open Source Fund (PPOSF)!
The PPOSF is a fund (with €103.115 so far!) that will help generate new open-source designs to be shared for free with the world on the Community Platform to tackle the big plastic waste problem together.
The fund will cover existing recycling solutions through How-to guides, Research projects and retroactively reward people that contributed to open-source without financial incentives prior the PPOSF.
