TRASHPRESSO

Institute Name : MINIWIZ CO., LTD.

Miniwiz captures the value of single-use plastic, metal, glass, by transforming industrial and household wastes into sustainable building modules, specialty fabrics and fixtures, to empower a circular future through upcycling technologies turning waste into solutions for our planet.

TRASHPRESSO is the world’s first mobile plastics and fabric waste recycling plant. It was designed to tackle waste by creating a mobile, automated, and self-powered, industrial grade recycling platform.

The TRASHPRESSO plant is housed in a 40-foot container platform that is movable anywhere by a trailer truck. Unlike existing recycling systems, the TRASHPRESSO plant runs on solar power, making it deployable off-grid.

Once stationed, the TRASHPRESSO container opens much like a satellite unpacking in orbit. Trash is collected locally, then washed, shredded, melted, and molded through an automated process. The water required for cleaning the trash is reused by being cycled back into the process. The output of the TRASHPRESSO’s recycling process is up-cycled architectural tiles. We showcase how to present circular economy manufacture in a portable way.
