The Flipflopi Toolkit
Recycling solutions for remote communities

Preparations

R&D enables you to test materials, design products, and explore markets all at once. Hands-on learning sits alongside research and customer feedback, helping you move from ideas to action.

Practical starting points

R&D works best when you start small and practical (testing materials, developing products, and learning from customers) while balancing hands-on work with big-picture thinking.

Equipment & materials

To start recycling and R&D, you’ll need basic tools, space, and plastic—Flipflopi began with simple machines and now uses a mix of DIY and professional equipment to make useful products.
