Project Will Use 3D Printer, Waste Plastic to Make Composting Toilets, Rainwater Harvesting Systems : TreeHugger | Solutions Zone TV

One man's trash is another man's treasure, they say, and while it may be difficult to find something good to say about the vast amount of plastic waste we're creating, it may be that some of that waste plastic will get turned into new and useful products, thanks to the magic of 3D printing.
A team of students at the University of Washington just won $100,000 in funding for their project, which will transform plastic waste into pieces for rainwater harvesting systems and composting toilets in the developing world.
