Xaquixe, hand blown glass with a sustainable vision
We recover scrap glass from hotels and restaurants in Oaxaca and, after cleansing, washing and crushing it, turn it into beautiful pieces of hand blown glass, for both utilitarian and decorative purposes. We employ also used cooking oil and solar energy to produce them.
Xaquixe is, in general, our test area and innovation center for many of the projects where PPX is involved, alone or with allies. Our Technology for blown glass is also available for companies with similar projects.
Totopo ovens
In October 2017, after several quakes battered the State of Oaxaca, particularly the Tehuantepec Isthmus region, master Francisco Toledo –important artist and public figure– contacted PPX in order to develop a transportable solar oven to produce totopos, a corn tortilla among the most important sources of income for many of the families who lost almost everything in this natural event.
The oven was adapted to a trailer so that it could be easily moved within the region and the affected areas. The main goal was to produce a series of them, unfortunately, lack of funding left the project stranded.
The technology for its elaboration is, nevertheless, openly reachable and free of royalties for anyone interested on it. The documentation for its production can be found through PPX.
Ceramists Ovens
In Oaxaca, clay production is a tradition that dates back to hundreds –even thousands– of years, and the production techniques remain, in many cases, unchanged. As the business grows, the use of firewood also rises exponentially, generating not only and excessive use, but also a larger pollution.
Additionally in some places such as Santa María Atzompa, families like Rufina’s used to paint pottery with colors that contained lead, highly polluting and a risk to their health. In order to eliminate it through the use other pigments, it was necessary to increase the oven temperature to unreachable limits with firewood.
PPX developed, together with “Innovando l a Tradición” (a NGO) and other organizations, a project for Rufina’s family. The new oven allows them to substitute firewood with a more efficient clay cooking process that includes, as in glass ovens, burned cooking oil and LP gas. The plans and technology of this oven are available to the public.
