David harkins makes good use of the things we throw away in his workspace and he invents machines that can shape construction panels from waste design based on plastics or the like a little thing we made like a big part of it but another technique so were going to use this for like i dont know maybe now we always more looking into decades and then sharing the line and hopefully it inspires people maybe to want to bowl maybe to make it into a lamp i dont know search for i was always very exciting as well to see what the community makes with the cakes we provide.

So friends. Away muscle rust away but plastic last super long so i think because of that its precious its just such a long life but we use it to make very disposable items so thats also why we call the project precious plastic to show people its actually a precious valuable material. Recital and gives discarded plastic a new lease on life its the idea for an environmentally friendly world. But weve still got a long way to go through own into the bin out of sight out of mind in the European Union a total of 26000000. 00 tonnes of Plastic Waste is thrown away every year less than a 3rd is even recyclable for the most part it shipped to countries in asia.

Here so you have different types of plastic basically show you have a lot of different ones and a lot of it is actually recyclable. But friends if you have a bottle cap theres a different plastic number transparent than the foil so youre going to need to separate the different materials into the different plastic but some products like lots of space are fact. Bit more annoying because it has a foil on the inside with aluminum and im a perp rest all of this is almost impossible to recycle because they will use everything together. In separates the different plastics from one another which costs them time for industry that also costs money but its not always easy for manufacturers to avoid combining materials they often need to use different kinds of plastic.
