FdS Haiti Plastics Recycling

Long description

Fuego Del Sol Haiti (FdS), a Haitian social-eco enterprise, has worked with Haitian communities for nine years to provide jobs, high quality products, and a better local environment. The primary activity of FdS has been to manufacture and implement energy-efficient, clean burning stoves and produce non-carbonized biomass briquettes out of recycled paper, cardboard, and other waste. 

Now, FdS is expanding into plastics recycling through the use of Precious Plastics technology in combination with the FdS ultra-efficient combustion technology. The plan is to acquire machinery, and take advantage of its open source design to adapt to FdS’s purposes and achieve scalability. The combination of Precious Plastics machinery and FdS’s expertise and existing biomass-based heating technology will allow for the first off-grid plastics recycling machinery. This project has the added benefit of providing work to local Haitian machinery shops and jobs to the future operators of these plastics recycling machines.

The first machine that FdS will manufacture is an ultra-efficient paving-brick production system utilizing recycled plastics and locally-available sand instead of imported concrete. FdS will begin plastic recycling machine production in May of 2021.
