This document summarizes the design and fabrication of a low-cost plastic shredder machine. [1] The machine was created to address the problems of high costs associated with existing plastic shredding machines and transportation of plastic waste for processing. [2] The designed plastic shredder consists of mechanical and electrical components like a frame, hopper, electric motor, V-belt drive system, and shredder setup. [3] It is intended to shred plastic into small irregular flakes at local recycling areas in order to reduce processing and transportation costs.

1. Introduction
Nowadays, the world is facing a critical issue of plastic waste
management. The available plastic shredding machines are so
costly and the setup is high. On the other hand, packing these
waste and proving them to these waste processing plants is also
costly.
Hence, to overcome this problem we have developed a low-
cost Plastic Shredding Machine that will shred the plastic on a
small basis and reduce the cost of transportation to processing
plants.
A plastic shredder is a mechanical device used to cut objects
into smaller pieces. A plastic shredder machine is a machine
that cuts the plastics into smaller pieces in order to make waste
management easier.
