Ive made some plastic blocks in a similar way, what i learned is its a lot of work to recycle plastic and you cant avoid making mocroplastics. We really need to reduce our use of plastic. Its still great people are working on making recycling more efficient though. 😊
@@xaviercruz4763Don't you see the tiny pieces lost in the process of sanding and engraving? Just watch it over again. Tons of little bits will be lost in those processes, no matter how efficient you make them.
@@sdal_yt You're right. I wasn't arguing against recycling plastic, though. There's always waste, but mitigating the waste is a nice idea. Recycling facilities are better for this, though, because this DIY project is pretty specific and not exactly ideal for mitigating waste on a large scale.
You guys should invest in commercial quesadilla presses! The ones at my work are about 3-4 times bigger than the standard home hot presses and usually come with a heat control dial and damn those things get hot!
@@portobeIIaya, it would release even more microplastics in the environment, one reason we haven’t copied some countries in Africa doing that ,tiles/road bricks/blocks to pave walkways/roads, the rubber on plastic constantly over time wears it away and boom microplastics.
I mean the creation of the normal sign is practically the same if using existing materials, its just the little bit at the start which is the recycling itself
Here's a way of recycling any plastic very efficiently : you use it as fuel with a high input of air. With enough oxygen, it doesn't smoke and combusts cleanly. So many things can be powered by scrap plastic, and it's much faster and efficient than re-processing them for hours to make very small items.
@@chrisking7603 i dont think making little decorations is upcycling, they are only using the best and cleanest plastics, selectioned in tiny quantity, it feels extremely restrictive and doesn't fit the needs of recycling. Burning plastic for energy is actually a decent solution, forges in the 60s in the western world and nowadays in the third world burn waste oil from cars. It makes these waste products disappear while providing energy for an industry that doesn't need to get more fuel or coal anymore.
@@jeanladoire4141 Single proof of concept doesn't imply gamut of possibilities. Circular use of resources reduces pressure on limited raw materials, and ultimate wastage into pollutants.
While micro plastics are a real problem to consider, in general, burning stuff isn't a long term solution, no matter how clean you think you can do it.
@nerfherder4284 cleaner than the amount of fuel it took to produce the electricity to run the smelter, computer and router. Not to mention all the mining of metals to manufacturer all the equipment. Just because they are taking some plastic out of the environment, doesn't mean there isn't an environmental impact.
Part of reducing waste is reducing wasted time, and I feel like there's almost certainly a much more efficient method to remelt plastic and form it into boards, even at this scale.
Some people like to work slower and with their hands. Yes there are faster ways to make a sign, but maybe this creator sees themself as an artist not an efficiency-maxxxing bot.
I don't think you have the slightest idea what "creative process" means, let alone how to value what people create. If you value mass produced junk more than handcrafted goods, then keep imagining you have solutions to the world's problems. Mass production got us in a cycle of producing junk with unprecedented waste, and it isn't going to get us out of that cycle. People need to embrace being producers rather than consumers, and being resourceful comes with the territory.
This is seriously a very creative idea. Especially considering the very long laborious method to get to the end result. Looks so hard to mold and flatten…like it’s just a little too cool not warm enough.. or a little too…thick and needed a little more melty…ier….? I know nothing about plastic. I’m just saying. It didn’t look easy. But it’s such an amazing end product so I’m grateful yall figured it out and do this. So cool
I’m honestly curious about the amount of nanoplastics you’re inhaling. Even with protection, you’re bound to be breathing in some of those really fine particles.
Energy used to make this happen including but not limited to: electricity, man power (fuel by unknown source), upload time, processing servers at UA-cam upon arrival of said video.. thousands of viewers watching said video charged by unknown sources…. It’s safe to safe you just made the earth a little worse than when you started! Glad I could contribute!
All I see is the production of more micro plastics during that engraving process. Is there a vacuum or suction nearby to collect the waste, or maybe it's in an enclosed area? I mean, we're all doomed to the plastic Apocalypse, but I was curious either way.
It perfectly portrays how the entire surface of the Earth is covered by countless microplastic particles, only spurred on by that carving job, not to say that this isn’t a good cause, it’s just that the problem lies with the plastic itself.
When my Mom used to work at Zebco in the early '70's, when tgey would clean out the machines, we would press out ashtrays with out feet from the extruding plastic for the reel covers..
I so wish I was able to do something like that. But health issues and room would not allow me to do it. But I do reuse everything that I possibly can and I do recycle everything that I possibly can. There are many things that when I purchase it it comes in a reusable container, or has reusable parts or pieces in its packaging. I have made some creative artwork, "Close the gate" signs, angels using only recycled items, it helps keep my creative juices flowing, and I'm always trying to find another way to make something useful at least one more time. It helps keep my mind and my hands busy as well as hopefully making a dent for less waste. I love what you guys are doing keep up the good work!
My short-term goal is to melt some plastic down and flatten it enough to use as a pickguard on a guitar. Just need to figure out a perfect press for that without buying a shirt press
How many chemicals go into the production, and shipping of the breathing apparatuses that would allow someone to melt plastic in a shop? Also how do electric cars work? Is there maybe something harmful about their production as well, or is it just awesome? Also is clean renewable energy a thing? What do we do with wind turbine blades once they wear out? No matter what the answer is you can sleep easy knowing you didn't use more fossil fuels, or maybe not. Thanks for trying your best anyway. Great effort.
Next use the microplastic in my blood to create a miniature version of myself.

Why is micro plastic. Made from this?
@@xaviercruz4763Don't you see the tiny pieces lost in the process of sanding and engraving? Just watch it over again. Tons of little bits will be lost in those processes, no matter how efficient you make them.
Yeah. This is in no way "eco friendly"
@@luviana_but in the end it's still only a fraction of the plastic that got wasted compared to if you only threw it into a landfill or burnt it
