摘要：One of the biggest environmental problems in the world is the excess of plastic waste. Although it is true, around the world there are companies that are responsible for recycling plastic waste, since 42% of plastics that are generated worldwide have a single utility. In Peru, the culture of recycling is not promoted, each year approximately each person uses 30 kilos of plastic and that only in Metropolitan Lima and Callao 46% of plastic waste is generated nationwide. In view of this problem, this article will design a plastic shredding machine to obtain small plastic waste to help people to be dedicated to the recycling industry in an automated way, it would also generate jobs since it requires a staff in charge of the machine and it will also be extremely useful to reduce plastic pollution in the environment, which due to COVID-19 is increasing. Through the design of the plastic waste shredding machine, the plastic will be selected by color and type of plastic composition, whether it is Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Polychloride vinyl (PVC) or Others (Plastic Mix), then it will go through the shredding process to become small plastic waste, which could be turned into filament for 3D printer.
