Development of Plastic Extruder for Environmental, Economic and Social Sustainability in Education Perspective

Abstract

A plastic extruder is one of the machines highly use in the manufacturing industry. This project aims to develop a plastic extruder for sustainability. The plastic extruder is one of the manufacturing topics in highest education. The machine is very costly to use for education. Besides, plastic waste is very critical for the environment. The purpose of creating this machine is to overcome this problem and at the same time to gain sustainability in living. The machine is create started by designing the extruder then fabricate the prototype. After fabrication is complete, test the machine, and the result of the outcome filament will be compared to existing filament such as 3D printer filament. The outcome of this project is following the sustainability pillar, which is an environment, economic and social.
