Help me build CanCrush — turning litter collection into action!

Hi, I’m Paul from Belgium — working on CanCrush: a hand-powered machine that helps collect and crush cans & bottles right where people throw them away.

What makes it special?

→ Users see and feel their waste shrinking.

→ It’s visible, fun, and educational — especially for kids.

No electricity. No mess. No overflowing bins.

CanCrush is designed for parks, schools, cities, events — anywhere litter happens.

Why it works better than a regular bin:

✔ Crushed cans & bottles = way less space

✔ Cleaner & more hygienic waste collection

✔ Less litter around full bins

✔ Kids love the crushing action

✔ Optional cap collection for charity

✔ Safe, EU-standards design

✔ Built locally by social enterprises

I’m funding this project mostly by myself. Every bit of support helps me keep developing, testing and building these machines.

Like the idea?

☕ Buy me a coffee — or help me crush waste with a small donation!
