It's a bit like one of those keynotes where they release a new product, except this one is going to be a bit rougher, because we're in a rough building.

這有點像那些發佈新產品的主題演講，只不過這次會更粗糙一些，因為我們在一棟粗糙的大樓裡。

And also it's going to be quite a lengthy video, because, well, it's a lot of work that went in here.

此外，這將是一個相當長的視頻，因為，這裡面有很多工作要做。

One year full development with 100 volunteers, so it's like 90,000 hours of work, compressed into like a half hour video, so it's not that long if you think about it like that.

在 100 名志願者的參與下，一年時間完成了全部開發工作，相當於 9 萬個小時的工作量，壓縮成半小時的視頻，所以如果你這麼想的話，時間並不算長。

But I would recommend to get some popcorn and get comfortable.

不過，我還是建議大家去買點爆米花，然後舒服地待著。

And I would also recommend to really watch the whole video, because then you really understand where we're at and what we're going to do.

我還建議大家認真觀看整個視頻，因為這樣你就能真正瞭解我們現在的情況和我們要做的事情。

But you could also skip to specific chapters.

但您也可以跳到特定章節。

So first I'm going to give a little bit of a recap on version 3, where we currently are at.

首先，我將簡要回顧一下第 3 版，也就是我們目前所處的階段。

Then I'm going to talk a bit about the problem, why we're actually doing all of this.

然後，我將談談問題的癥結所在，也就是我們為什麼要做這些事情。

Then a bit about the machines, so the developments we did there.

然後介紹一下機器，以及我們在那裡所做的開發工作。

About product design, seeing all the new products we developed.

關於產品設計，看看我們開發的所有新產品。

And then Joseph is going to talk a little bit about the business side and the bazaar.

然後，約瑟夫將談談商業方面和集市。

Then Kat is going to talk about the starter kits.

然後，Kat 將談談入門套件。

Then Mattia is going to talk about our online community platform.

然後，馬蒂亞將介紹我們的在線社區平臺。

Then I'll show you a few research projects we've also been working on.

然後，我會向你們展示我們也在進行的幾個研究項目。

And finally I'll give you some insights on how we actually developed this whole thing with volunteers for one year.

最後，我將向大家介紹一下我們是如何在一年時間裡與志願者們一起開發整個項目的。

Yeah, so I would say have fun.

是啊，所以我想說，玩得開心點。

Okay, so currently Pressure Plastic is set up around these four different machines.

好了，目前壓力塑膠就是圍繞著這四臺不同的機器設置的。

We released them three years ago and people all around the world started using them.

我們在三年前發佈了它們，世界各地的人們開始使用它們。

So right now we have over 400 workspaces around the world of people that recycle the plastic.

現在，我們在全球有超過 400 個回收塑膠的工作場所。

We also have over 70,000 people in the forums that talk about these machines and share their feedback and updates.

我們還有 7 萬多人在論壇上討論這些機器，分享他們的反饋和更新。

So there's quite a big community developed around it.

是以，圍繞著它發展出了一個相當大的社區。

And most people that build these machines use them for educational reasons.

大多數製造這些機器的人都是出於教育目的。

To really show other people you throw in plastic waste and something valuable comes out.

要讓別人真正看到，你扔進塑膠垃圾，就會有有價值的東西出來。

So that's been a very powerful tool.

是以，這是一個非常強大的工具。

However, the recycling numbers are not necessarily that high.

然而，回收數量並不一定那麼高。

Also because it's difficult to do this on a daily basis to sustain yourselves.

還因為每天都這樣做很難維持自己的生活。

Because we never really provided the business models to do so.

因為我們從未真正提供過這樣的商業模式。

So a lot of people in the community now really have to figure it out themselves.

是以，社區裡的很多人現在真的要自己想辦法了。

And this is something we really wanted to improve for version 4 to increase the recycling rates.

這也是我們非常希望在第 4 版中改進的地方，以提高回收率。

And actually around the world we have way more people that want to recycle plastic.

實際上，在世界各地，希望回收塑膠的人越來越多。

So if you can see on our map over 12,000 people put their hands up saying they want to get started recycling.

是以，如果你能在我們的地圖上看到，超過 12,000 人舉手表示他們想要開始回收。

So there's a big demand of more people that want to do something about it.

是以，有更多的人希望為此做點什麼。

And the world needs more recycling.

世界需要更多的回收利用。

So that's why we started building version 4.

這就是我們開始製作第 4 版的原因。

To really increase recycling all around the world.

真正提高全世界的回收利用率。

And first let me show you a little bit what is actually the problem again.

首先，讓我再向大家展示一下問題的實質。

Why we're doing this.

我們為什麼要這樣做

So it's 2020 now.

所以現在是 2020 年。

And we're all quite aware of our big plastic waste problem we have around the world.

我們都很清楚，全世界都面臨著巨大的塑膠垃圾問題。

And I actually remember when I started this project a few years back that 2020 used to be this milestone for companies.

實際上，我還記得幾年前開始這個項目時，2020 年曾經是公司的一個里程碑。

To reduce their amount of waste or not use any virgin plastic or be fully circular.

減少廢物量，不使用任何原生塑膠，或完全循環使用。

But that didn't really happen.

但這並沒有真正發生。

The line of plastic production still goes up every year.

塑料製品的產量仍在逐年增加。

More and more plastic is being made.

越來越多的塑膠被製造出來。

And more and more plastic ends up in the landfill, the ocean, or it gets burned.

越來越多的塑膠最終被扔進垃圾填埋場、海洋或被焚燒。

Anyway, the upside is that we did become very aware of our big plastic problem.

不管怎麼說，好的一面是，我們確實意識到了我們巨大的塑膠問題。

It became a global topic to talk about.

這成了一個全球性的話題。

And we might not have the solutions yet, but at least we start thinking about it.

也許我們還沒有解決方案，但至少我們開始思考了。

And stuff like this is also very complex, these kind of problems.

像這樣的問題也非常複雜。

Because they're massive and they involve many different parties.

因為它們規模龐大，涉及許多不同方面。

So you also need to have many different people working on many different solutions.

是以，你還需要有許多不同的人來研究許多不同的解決方案。

So for instance, on the one hand, we need to reduce the amount of plastic we produce.

是以，一方面，我們需要減少塑膠的生產量。

Stop using disposable stuff.

停止使用一次性用品。

Plastic is not a disposable material.

塑膠不是一次性材料。

But we also need to clean up all the plastic that's already out there in the oceans.

但我們也需要清理海洋中的塑膠。

Making sure it's not there anymore.

確保它不再存在。

We need to recycle and reuse all the plastic that we already made.

我們需要回收和再利用我們已經制造的所有塑膠。

And meanwhile, we need to reinvent new materials that can replace plastic in the future.

與此同時，我們需要重新發明新的材料，以便在未來取代塑膠。

So we need people and organizations to work on many different solutions.

是以，我們需要有人和組織來研究多種不同的解決方案。

And as precious plastic grows, we get involved into more areas.

隨著珍貴塑膠的增長，我們涉足了更多領域。

But our main focus is still on recycling.

但我們的主要重點仍然是回收利用。

To make sure that all the plastic that's out there gets recycled and reused in a proper way.

確保以適當的方式回收和再利用所有塑膠。

So one of the main things we did for this version is making sure that people can focus.

是以，我們為這個版本所做的主要工作之一就是確保人們能夠集中注意力。

Because we noticed in our own community that the people focusing on one specific machine get a much better output.

因為我們注意到，在我們自己的社區裡，專注於一臺特定機器的人可以獲得更好的產出。

And it also avoids them having to build three different machines and knowing how to run them.

這也避免了他們需要製造三臺不同的機器並知道如何運行它們。

So we really wanted to work towards that.

是以，我們真的想為此而努力。

Having specialists in our community.

我們的社區有專家。

And we also developed the machines for that.

我們還為此開發了機器。

So the machines are more robust, have a higher output.

是以，機器更加堅固耐用，產量更高。

And they're also a bit more complex to build.

而且，它們的建造也更復雜一些。

But you only need to build one.

但你只需要建造一個。

So now I want to show you some prototypes that we made.

現在，我想向大家展示一些我們製作的原型。

So let's start with our shredder.

讓我們從碎紙機開始。

And this is a crucial machine for recycling.

而這正是回收利用的關鍵設備。

Because it basically shreds your plastic waste into small flakes.

因為它基本上能把塑膠垃圾粉碎成小片。

And we already had a shredder, but it was too small.

我們已經有了一臺碎紙機，但它太小了。

We needed a bigger one.

我們需要一個更大的。

So first we started looking into a single X-shredder.

是以，我們首先開始研究單個 X 型碎紙機。

Where the blades are turning around.

葉片轉過來的地方

And meanwhile a piston that runs on air compression pushes the plastic into the blade.

與此同時，一個靠空氣壓縮運行的活塞將塑膠推入刀片。

So it shreds.

所以它碎了。

It's a nice technique, but it was a bit over-complexed and too expensive to actually replicate.

這是個不錯的技術，但有點過於複雜，而且成本太高，無法實際複製。

So we started looking into a dual X-shredder.

於是，我們開始研究雙 X 型碎紙機。

Where you have two blades that pull in the plastic and meanwhile they shred it.

有兩片刀片可以拉住塑膠，同時將其切碎。

And this is a nice mechanism.

這是一個很好的機制。

It works pretty well.

效果還不錯。

But there's a lot to configure here and really fine-tune.

但這裡有很多需要配置和微調的地方。

So for instance, the configuration of the blades.

例如，葉片的配置。

Like how many blades do you need?

比如你需要多少刀片？

What's the thickness?

厚度是多少？

How are they aligned?

它們是如何排列的？

And also the blade itself.

還有刀片本身。

Like what are the amount of teeth you have there?

比如你有多少顆牙齒？

And how big are the teeth?

牙齒有多大？

Because this really influences the way how you shred.

因為這真的會影響你的碎紙方式。

So once we sort of sorted out the whole mechanism behind shredding.

所以，一旦我們理清了碎紙機背後的整個機制。

We looked into the machine as a whole.

我們對整個機器進行了研究。

So what's the frame where it's on?

那麼，它所在的框架是什麼？

What kind of motor do we need?

我們需要什麼樣的電機？

But we also really spent quite some time on the box itself.

不過，我們在盒子本身上也花了不少時間。

Because we really wanted to make sure that you could easily take it apart and open it up.

因為我們真的很想確保你可以輕鬆地把它拆開。

Because this makes it much easier to maintain and repair the machine in the future.

因為這將大大方便日後對機器的維護和修理。

In case something goes wrong.

以防出錯。

So this is roughly the development of our shredder.

這就是我們碎紙機的大致發展過程。

Let's now have a look at our extruder.

現在讓我們來看看擠壓機。

So for an extrusion machine you basically have a screw that moves around.

是以，對於擠壓機來說，螺桿基本上是左右移動的。

And transports the plastic from one side to the other.

並將塑膠從一側輸送到另一側。

And then meanwhile it heats up and it comes out molten.

與此同時，它還會加熱，然後熔化。

So we already had an extruder machine.

是以，我們已經有了一臺擠壓機。

And it was a pretty good starting point for our new machine.

對於我們的新機器來說，這是一個很好的起點。

But the output wasn't really high enough.

但產量確實不夠高。

And also it wasn't really made to run all day long.

而且，它也不是真的用來整天運轉的。

It really needed to be more robust.

它確實需要更加強大。

So we took this as a starting point and built a new prototype.

是以，我們以此為起點，製作了一個新的原型。

Which was basically a beefed up version from that one.

這基本上是那個版本的加強版。

Bigger motor, more solid build.

電機更大，結構更堅固。

And also really adding up some sensors to measure what's going on.

此外，還增加了一些傳感器來測量正在發生的事情。

For the temperature and the pressure.

溫度和壓力

To really make sure we fully understand this machine.

真正確保我們完全瞭解這臺機器。

But it still kind of had the same output.

但它的輸出功率還是一樣。

But we knew exactly what was going on.

但我們清楚地知道發生了什麼。

And then in the end we increased the screw diameter.

最後，我們加大了螺桿直徑。

So this is the original one.

所以，這是原版的。

And this is the new one.

這是新的。

So as you can see a much bigger screw.

是以，正如你所看到的，螺絲要大得多。

So it has a much bigger output.

是以，它的輸出功率更大。

So now let me show you our sheet press.

現在，讓我向大家展示一下我們的壓片機。

Which was quite a challenge.

這是一個相當大的挑戰。

And for the sheet press we really had to start from scratch.

而對於單張紙印刷機，我們真的不得不從頭開始。

Which meant a bit more work.

這意味著要多做一些工作。

So basically we wanted to make a machine.

所以，基本上我們想製造一臺機器。

That can make a big sheet from recycled plastic.

這樣就能用回收的塑膠做成一大張。

So we started off with a hot press.

所以我們一開始就用熱壓機。

Where you have two hot surfaces that press together the plastic.

有兩個熱表面將塑膠壓在一起。

And compress the sheet.

然後壓縮床單。

This worked okay.

效果還不錯。

But it was a bit of a slow process.

但這個過程有點緩慢。

Because the whole machine had to heat up and cool down.

因為整個機器需要加熱和冷卻。

So we figured maybe we should separate these processes.

所以我們想，也許我們應該把這些程序分開。

So we got an old pizza oven and a cold press.

於是，我們買了一箇舊披薩烤箱和一臺冷壓機。

And then you first heat it up externally.

然後先從外部加熱。

And then you put it in somewhere else to press it together.

然後再把它放到其他地方壓在一起。

This was a much quicker process than a hot press.

這比熱壓機要快得多。

So we kind of liked it.

所以我們挺喜歡的。

But we wanted a bigger sheet.

但我們想要更大的床單。

But big pizza ovens like that don't exist.

但這樣的大披薩爐並不存在。

So we had to build our own oven.

是以，我們不得不自己建造烤箱。

Really from scratch.

真正從零開始。

Also figuring out how do you even open doors and stuff like that.

還要弄清楚如何開門之類的事情。

And with this we also needed a bigger press.

是以，我們還需要一臺更大的印刷機。

So we had to build this beast.

是以，我們必須建造這頭怪獸。

And it's really heavy.

它真的很重。

So this kind of worked okay.

是以，這樣做還算可以。

But we were still like it's not really what we really want.

但我們還是覺得，這並不是我們真正想要的。

Because it's a very bulky big system.

因為這是一個非常笨重的大系統。

So then actually we went back again to the drawing table.

於是，我們又回到了繪圖桌前。

And we finally had a final version of the machine.

我們終於有了機器的最終版本。

Which is kind of an efficient version of the hot press.

這是一種高效版的熱壓機。

A combination of all of these machines together.

所有這些機器的組合。

So building a machine is one thing.

是以，製造機器是一回事。

But you also need to do a lot of material testings.

但您還需要進行大量的材料測試。

So here is one of the first sheets for instance.

例如，這是第一張床單中的一張。

It's kind of a sheet.

這是一種床單。

But also not really how we have it in mind.

但也不是我們想象中的樣子。

So then they got a little bit better over time.

是以，隨著時間的推移，他們的情況逐漸好轉。

But this one as you can see is still very warped.

但正如你所看到的，這一個仍然非常扭曲。

So it's not a smooth flat sheet.

是以，它不是一張平滑的薄片。

Improved.

已改進。

Then they got better, smoother and more flat.

後來，它們變得更好、更光滑、更平整。

But the surfaces were still very rough.

但表面仍然非常粗糙。

So we also needed to make sure they were smooth.

是以，我們還需要確保它們是光滑的。

And managed.

和管理。

So here we have it, our final machines.

這就是我們的最終機器。

We have a shredder, extruder and a sheet press.

我們有粉碎機、擠壓機和壓片機。

And they're all semi-industrial.

它們都是半工業用地。

Which means they're not hobby level.

這意味著他們不是業餘愛好者級別的。

But also not super industrial.

但也不是超級工業區。

They're sort of there in the middle.

它們就在中間。

And one thing we always keep in mind when we develop a machine.

在開發機器時，我們始終牢記一件事。

Is that they're friendly to use.

就是它們使用起來很方便。

And not on super high speeds or a lot of noise.

而且不是在超高速或噪音很大的情況下。

We really like to make plastic recycling a nice job.

我們非常願意把塑膠回收工作做好。

So the machines are really designed for that.

是以，這些機器確實是為此而設計的。

And also they're made to be replicated.

此外，它們還可以複製。

So all the parts are very logically documented.

是以，所有部分都有非常合乎邏輯的記錄。

But also where you can find the parts.

但也要知道在哪裡可以找到零件。

Because in the end they're all shared open source online for free.

因為到頭來，它們都是在網上免費共享的開放源代碼。

So you can all download the blueprints and build them anywhere in the world.

是以，你們都可以下載藍圖，在世界任何地方建造它們。

So that's it for the machines.

機器就到此為止。

Now let me show you what you can actually make with them.

現在，讓我告訴你用它們到底能做出什麼。

So currently we already have members all around the world.

是以，目前我們的成員已經遍佈世界各地。

Making beautiful objects from recycled plastic.

用回收塑膠製作精美物品

And we really love them.

我們真的很喜歡它們。

But they're often very small.

但它們往往很小。

And very much household products.

而且非常適合家庭使用。

Where we think there's much more possible with recycled plastic.

我們認為，再生塑膠的應用前景更為廣闊。

And that's what we wanted to see from version 4.

這正是我們希望從第 4 版中看到的。

Like pushing really the boundaries of it.

就像挑戰極限一樣。

So one of the main things we did is say.

是以，我們所做的主要工作之一就是：

Maybe you shouldn't have to have products as an output.

也許你不應該把產品作為輸出。

But it could also be raw material.

但也可能是原材料。

Like just making the sheets or making beams.

比如製作床單或橫樑。

And really use this as a material to make other things with.

並真正把它作為製作其他東西的材料。

So for instance with beams you could also make different kind of profiles.

是以，例如使用橫樑，您也可以製作不同的型材。

Which is much more versatile to use to construct other things with.
