Our first iteration is a cup out of carboarding. Our goal is to 3d print a cup using sugar cane plastic, which is good for the enivorment

We plan on making silver ware and cups and straws from a sugar cane based plastic. Sugar cane is good for the enivorment as it comes from plants

Our idea is to resue hockey tape. We will put collection bins inside of hockey rinks. Once hockey games conclude you put your used hockey tape into the bins. Once the bin is full we come out and collect it. We then melt it and reuse the tape and make a brand new role of tape. We then sell it to hockey company's to sell to hockey players. Then the cycle repeats itself.

We 3d printed a cup. Since the plastic in the i lab is all ready a sugar cane plastic, it is good for the enivorment, so most our models we will 3d print.

After we collect the tape we will bring it back to our factory, where we melt it to get it back to its original plastic form. After this, we will make the adhesive. The adhesive is made out of Resin Oil Powder. Then we mix the plastic that was melted with the adhesive. After this, it is strung into the different lengths and sizes needed. Then we will sell it to hockey companies.

Hockey sticks are an important part of the game. However on average 4 sticks break per game, and 1000 sticks break per year per team. Thus if you multiplied 1000 by the 31 teams in the league you get an average of 31000 hockey sticks that are going to waste. Hockey sticks are not made with the environment in mind. The materials used are not good for the environment, and with so many broken sticks they are really starting to pile up and create a lot of waste. An Idea we have is we can collect the broken sticks and reuse the broken sticks to make a new hockey stick. Even though it is not really helping the environment it is reducing the waste the broken sticks make. Another idea we have is we could repurpose the sticks to make benches, or picture frames, etc.
