    About Us

    The Million Waves Project brings together two unacceptable global situations and offers a practical and sustainable solution. We take recycled plastic cleaned from the ocean and turn it into 3D printable material. Then, through an open app we connect with individuals in need of a prosthetic and print a custom hand, arm or single digit exactly to their specifications. Each prosthetic costs approximately $45 dollars to source, print and deliver.

    By volunteering, you can help clean our oceans and provide individuals the ability to go back to work for their families, back to playing with their friends and do daily tasks they are otherwise unable to do on their own
