We further demonstrate that the produced non-woven materials perform at filtration efficiency equivalent to N95 grade filter material. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb595907a9e60735e18f41c/1590037283003-YM9IHN9YFEMU278AEJB2/Screen+Shot+2020-05-20+at+7.26.32+PM.png Home - Factory in a Box to make filtration fabrics from recycled plastics We are currently developing a self-contained device that can be rapidly deployed anywhere in the world for the manufacture of N95 grade filtration material utilizing only recycled plastics. This enables a cradle to cradle low-cost and local manufacturing based approach with waste products possibly being converted to filtration materials. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb595907a9e60735e18f41c/1590379841877-F86ZPR23PG5KXEBQH98C/Screen+Shot+2020-05-20+at+10.10.58+PM.png Home - Distributed Quality Control Ensuring the manufactured material is consistently of high quality is a major concern. We are developing a suit of frugal tools to ensure high quality production in a distributed fashion. https://www.1000by1000.org/get-involved daily 0.75 2020-08-18 https://www.1000by1000.org/team daily 0.75 2020-08-18 https://www.1000by1000.org/updates daily 0.75 2020-08-18 https://www.1000by1000.org/quality-control daily 0.75 2020-05-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb595907a9e60735e18f41c/1590379616972-J3ZJY2JTYCZYFRC8CAER/pressure_drop.png Quality Control - Distributed Quality Control Decentralized production requires new ways of thinking about quality control.

We also present a frugal method for evaluating the quality of the produced material. We intend to share all of the technical details on performance and construction of our designs openly. https://www.1000by1000.org/factory-in-a-box daily 0.75 2020-08-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb595907a9e60735e18f41c/1590028061743-B96UH4A1JEKRDQ575KN5/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-05-20%2Bat%2B7.26.32%2BPM.jpg Factory in a Box - Factory in a Box Under Construction Check back soon.
