3 Easy Recycled Plastic Projects | Recycling for Beginners

I would like to know why you guys are not melting bottles,you only melting caps,why

I don’t have a press (at the moment), but I do have a heat gun. What temperature does your presses and other equipment get the plastic up to? I’d like to start at least working some of my plastic now if I can.

Can you recommend a plastics shredding machine for home use (meaning relatively small and inexpensive) that will shred large plastic containers such as laundry jugs?

Great video and great information.. I reuse and recycle as much as I can

Thanks for the inspiration! I'm exploding with ideas=)

if you haven't already, might I suggest making drop spindle whorls and the rings and other beads needed for macrame work?

edit: Yeah the beads on your etsy shop won't work. the holes aren't broad enough to get multiple strands through. I need to be able to easily tie multiple larkshead knots on one bead.

kings of plastic😀😀

You can do many plastik letters, place each one on magnet. Then place it on fridge or metal board and play with kids)

Pair of clowns. Guzzling each other in between vids💦🤡

You don’t even need a Panini press. All you need are some thick pieces of metal and an oven

Wow, just think of all the useless shit we buy that can be made out of trash. It’s crazy. I would never spend any amount of money on a coaster ever again now that I realize it can just be made from garbage.

What tools do I need?

Who the hell has a panini press? Where the hell would you buy it? Never saw a panini press in a shop in my life.

I loved it. ❤❤🎉🎉

Where do you get all those milk bottle caps?

👌

Please how much is the heating machine what is the name of the brand

Make plastic pipes it never rots

Just found your channel, and I love what you do! This is awesome

Um…. Is it possible to make plastic glow in the dark???

Can you use plastic bottles in the press?

Not sure where you get your milk bottle caps but where I’m at there’s no recycle mark on the caps but they’re is however a mark on the jug that is a number 2 also I noticed same mark on my bleach bottles anyway

I like the hand tools methods. Its actually where everyone should start out. In woodshop it was as important to use a coping saw and chisels as it was to use a chop saw or table saw. Fine touches are done with the hand tools always. I have a scroll saw I just acquired which is sweet! Its used, but I see that its way to useful to not own one, not too pricy new or used and somerhing everyone should have. I like the use of the griddle too. Smooth surface ones may be harder to come across, but if you keep looking they are out there at thrift.

Can you make a system to convert this into a wire for 3D printing?

I could see these cool colored plastic pieces being used for some kind of car excessories sunglasses holders, cup holders, pockets of some kind, or a counsole, floor mats for cars, or knobs or shifter knobs, marketed for sporty electric cars, interiors on Cars are somewhat bland grays, biege, black. Light switch plates, put blacklist dye in it, or glow in the dark dye, make molds for cool Lamp bases, with a $7. Lamp kit,

Those Coaster could Also be made into cute little hexagon shaped jewelry boxes, or counter top tiles, or bathroom tiles, floor tires, the could be used for short molded legs dor furniture, like for dressers, or couch. I still say deck boards would be cool for a Patio

what about toxic fumes?

Beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration.👍

I would like to try making raincoats/boots for kids

I encourage everyone of us to invest in recycling and support genuine recycling initiative. I have been investing in recycling for two years now. Although the profit are not what I expected but is it worth it, contributing to sustainability is worth it, you should be part of it too. I will be willing to guide you as a beginner if you are willing to learn about recycling investment and take part in it.

I also want to start with this, but I have a question.

Do you have to wear a mask?

What😮😮😮....???

So is it set to low heat or high heat?

What temperature is your panni press? Mine has low, medium, high and sear.

Is there an easy way to remove labels and glue? By the time I am done heating and using acetone, I have spent more than I can recover, not to mention being the reverse of green.

Hello both, great work thank you for sharing your projects. What material is the black protective layers inside the toster?

Hiya chaps. I've not been able to find the answer to this yet. Hope you can help.
All of your videos show the typical milk bottle tops (green, blue and white ones). What I haven't seen or know yet is, do you know if the caps from long life milk cartons can be used/melted? I think they're tetra or something. The only logos I can see in the caps are "C238" and what looks like a solid triangle with a circle embossed in the top. Does that make any sense?

Thank you for listing the type of respirator filters I will need
