Less than 10% of all the plastic trash ever produced has been recycled. We see plastic pollution in trees, on beaches, in animals, and even in our food and water. Public awareness and industrial recycling exist, yet the equipment is inaccessible because of its high cost and the lack of knowledge.

Changes in the industry are indefinite and slow, as it keeps on producing plastic as single-use and disposable. The solution requires a daily basis action. Ithra is one of many communities that joined Precious Plastic; an open-source platform for everyone that aims to tackle plastic pollution by turning plastic waste into valuable materials and encouraging more people to take action.
