Cole Fiory

Cole got his undergraduate degree in Architecture and then practiced it for almost a decade! When COVID happened he saw how the Municipal Waste Department was understaffed and putting all our sorted recycling in the trash trucks and decided something needed to be done about it. Turns out it was a much bigger problem then he realized and wasn't just limited to COVID. He realized our municipal recycling system and many other were totally broken. So he set off to make cool things out of 100% recycled plastic under the global open source umbrella of Precious Plastic. He left his coorporate job and went all in on this new recycling business has hasn't looked back since.
