How to Recycle

Plastic recycling consists of 4 basic phases

· clean/collect

· separate

· shred

· melt

Clean/Collect

Start by using the plastic collected from your own home - then, perhaps, get your neighbours to join in. all plastics should be cleaned before recycling - just a rinse in the dishwater or under the tap is sufficient - especially milk containers.

Separate

Due to the great variety of different plastics many things are made from it is necessary to separate them by type as each type may require different processing/treatment. You may also want to separate by colour.

We recommend you have sufficient tubs for collected plastis to be separated into - according to their recycle numbers and colours.

In the drop down list you can see the different kinds of plastics suitable for recycling, according to the international recycling symbo.

The numbers 1-7 are inside the symbol and relate to the specific type of plastic that product is made from. Not all plastics are recyclable..

The processes of cleaning, collecting and separating the different plastics is very important for subsequent processes.

We recommend sorting by colour to allow choice of finished product's appearance.

If it is not possible to fully separate the plastic before shredding, it is possible to separate after shredding. Different plastics have differing bouancies in various liquids. This is a far more time consuming process as additional effort is required.

Shredding

Oce grouped by type, the next step is to shred plastics into small pieces - commonly referred to as chips or pellets.

In addition to reducing the volume, it is essential to shred the plastic waste to enable easier and more efficient and effective melting in the following processes of recycling.

The optimal size of the pellets depends on many factors. Finish desired, type of plastic, casting process, shredding time, etc.... Feel free to experiment with sizes to get an appropriate size for your needs. if you think you may require additional sieve holders please ask when ordering. Precious Plastics recommends a 6mm pitch mesh for the shredder V2.1.

PP makes several models of open source plastic recycling machines. Open source means you can download the technical drawings/blueprints and specifications and manufacture all their machines yourselves. Consider the cost of time and effort sourcing companies to do things you are not set up to do yourself. sometimes it's cheaper to buy from us. Many items can be found in the Precious Plastics bazaar, so if anything is too hard or too expensive to do yourself, have a look there too, everything from individual parts to fully assembled machines.

Precious Plastics has 2 shredder designs

We invite you to visit the PP website to decide which model suits you best.

Melting

The pellets obtained through the shredding process can be melted and formed into any desired shape with moulds and creativity..

for example:

· 3D printer filament - build an extruder for this

· injection moulded products - build an injection moulder for this

· vacuum formed products - build a compressor for this

PP has several other open source machines to enable you to take the next step in your process.
