Have a look here : http://preciousplastic.com and https://preciousplastic.com/en/community.html

I’m still looking to setup a community/space for this in Antwerp (Belgium)

I was more looking at recycling any of the top 5 plastics, into new usable items, as Precious Plastics aims todo, like tiles, rods, beams, decoration, blocks, …
