Precious Plastic - Create things from plastic (part 5.0)

This is the purpose of Clip-Share. To share ideas like this. It is even pleasure to watch and should it should be elementary project at High schools with focus on mechanical engineering so every school can recycle and create own stuff. This is more valuable than any music video on Clip-Share. Google should give you some special honnor.

What you guys are doing is amazing, and certainly a look into the future about how people will regard the precious materials available to them. Best of luck in your efforts--I'm sharing this as much as I can :)

This makes me want to become an engineer. I just graduated college but if I had the choice to start all over, I’ll choose a career in making cool stuff like this from recycled materials. Very inspirational 🙌🏻

These machines you have created are incredible! Precious Plastics has amazing potential to make use of unnecessary plastics! I can't wait to create projects with this:)

What you do is amazing!!! You are inspiring!! As a teacher, I will be sharing your channel with my students. Thank-you so much for helping us do something positive with an enormous problem. Blessings to you on your quest.

wow this is great. I had no idea there was such a huge community of plastic makers. I've always thought plastic is a great material and we waste so much in landfills that could be reused. Nicely done!

What an amazing person! Sharing his wisdom with others. More people like him will make our planet as a whole better for many generations to come. Much love!💖💐😊👌

Your videos should be included in the Clip-Share editors choice. Honestly if colleges teach this as a curriculum, it would be a great value add to the engineering students.

I doubt i'd ever get into doing this but there are a few things i'd love to make if i did: one idea you guys (or someone) might make use of is the frame work to canvases for painters (or easel stand). The normal material is wood.

It's amazing what you do!! Original and it allows our world to depurate from plastic waste!

I am so glad that your channel exist. I am working with plastics on a larger scale and your videos are very informative.

Man this is great. Seeing all these beautiful creations from our trash, you have inspired me and i hope you continue to inspire our younger generations.

GUYS YOU ARE AMAZING! Really nice work! You have inspired me so much with your effort!

this really was an interesting and educational series. i really enjoyed it and cant wait to see more. :)

Estoy encantada con tus videos y con tu proycto.. Lamenablemente no tengo los recursos para replicarlo, pero es algo que me encantaría hacer!.. Mis felicitaciones!

I was just looking for plastic shredder and I came across with this beautiful channel and the finish products are so beautiful!

Wow, brilliant ! I loved how you visually gone into melting every brick of plastic to a certain temperature ! Thanks for sharing

I did an experiment last night with HDPE. By cooling it down fast, "quench" like steel, I made it twice harder to cut and wear off. Which could be a good thing to mention, if you want your product to last longer bring it close to melting point then cooldown fast in water.

With the time that I spend in youtube watching people doing things it is kind of sad that I just have found you... Thanks for all the content! Really inspirational

Thank you for sharing all about plastic to us, you playing a great roll to save our planet.

This is awesome. As a kid, I often dreamed of having such a machine and having a little shop where I create all kinds of things from plastic waste. I always thought it was not possible, because - why hasn't anyone invented these machines before?

It's strange that the world is not mass production of stuff like this

Good job, you are inspiring a lot of people to inhale toxic fumes , and chemicals that are added to plastic for colors and flexibility.

Really appreciate your work. It's really inspiring

It is one of the best videos i've seen so far on Clip-Share, thank you so much! I would like to start my PET/HDPE recycling initiative, so learning few things about it.. And this video is amazing!

Awesome job, thanks so much to share your knowledge and help more people to recycle.

Really informative. Although it's unclear to me who does this at home, there are probably many makers around who enjoy and use these tips.

This was a very helpful video. Thanks for making it. One thing I would like to know is which of the different types of plastics is the most chemically stable, or to put it another way, which plastic gives off the least amount of fumes in its solid form?

Dave, you are THE MAN! Congrats, you became source of inspiration for great things.

Really good work man!!/ Zajebista robota stary!!

I like your ideas a lot! You kept your shop simple. How much would it cost me to set up something similar?

Congratulations on this channel. As a do-it-yourself lover, I wondered: is there a (home) way to glue with the same plastic as the panels (create panels, cut and then glue them with more plastic)? For example to create a box ... thank you very much

This is awesome! Do you know if the clear plastic bottle will remain see through after it's melted through that machine?

Incrível!!! Preciso me aprofundar nisso!!! Obrigado por compartilhar!!!

It's so exciting and inspiring to explore ideas like this! I and my classmates are currently working with the design of sustainable furnitures, how to utilize wastes generated by the community around us, and I think to use wasted plastics as raw materials for our furniture must be a perfect idea. But I have a question: when we heat the plastics, will there be toxic gas emissions which may still harm the environment?

You guys are awesome, thanks so much for all this.

Very good video. I've started saving up my HDPE plastis. I'm a knife maker. I'm going to use it as handles for my line of Chef's knives.

Desde Argentina admirable el trabajo que realizan a través del plástico !!! Felicitaciones !!

Thanks for your video Dave. Could you put/send the temperature table you showed? maybe in excel? and... Is there a way to produce another table based on strength of each plastic type? for example, Fluency capacity or compression capacity, etc.? On the other hand, If I'd like to add some additive inside the plastic to maximize fire protection, what kind of additive you could recommend?

you should build a personnel smelting system to melt down metals like aluminum and then use those metals to build the molds or anything else. That way you are not only recycling plastics but metals as well. Making your system all the more environmentally friendly.

I love it from a maker standpoint, but I am a bit worried about creating microplastics with all the shredding and machining. What do you do to protect your lungs and prevent plastic particles escaping?

Wow that's awesome. I have some years of experience with industrial plastics injection, I never thought you could make it DIY as well. You should put that extruder vertically on a CNC frame and make a 3D printer thats using shredderd plastic!

The excursion machine is also useful if you do 3d printing. You can make your own filaments.

Hello great work guys. I was just wondering if any of the plastics when melted give off any toxic fumes?

Really cool project!! Hope can help to make world more better :)

Love your video. Simple and easy to understand. I suggest you make building block bricks for building houses. Take the material, shred it and then blend it into bricks. Free material (trash) turning it into a house.

Parabéns pela iniciativa de compartilhar seus conhecimentos! Solicito a possibilidade de demonstrar um projeto desta máquina de forma que seja acessível á populações de países pobres e a energia elétrica é absurda como no Brasil... (que tal um extrusor à gás )? Agradecido!

hazlo posible, hazlo en grande! Sería excelente que pudiesen subtitular a todos los idiomas! Y hacer una gran red donde todos podamos compartir los resultados propios para aportar de modo mutuo en pro de este excelente e ingenioso proyecto! Felicidades!

Excelente tus videos tienes todas las herramientas necesarias para todo. Aquí en mi país seria algo maravilloso hacer todo eso y así contribuir a cuidar el planeta, Se necesita mucho dinero aquí hacer todo eso.

what an amazing array of reference melted plastics! well done!!

I love your work, this could help social & environmental problems, especially in Indonesia rural areas. Im wondering to have collaboration with you guys. Should be such a great opportunity i guess.

This is such a great thing . Our planet needs this .

This is absolutely awesome! I'd like to know if something similar can be done with nylons

Thank you for sharing. How clean does the plastic have to be before shredding? Do you have to do that extra cleaning and remove any label stickers?

You are the master of plastic, I’m not capable of making a machine but I can try following you because I think is so fascinating. Can you let us know if you sale these machines? Again you are the master of plastic, you contribution is priceless. Will always follow!

This is revolutionary. What an amazing idea!

This is an awesome use of resources and human ingenuity.

Dave this is clever, absolutely fantastic.. bravo! Can you make eyewear frames with recycled plastic? Considering you have to mount lenses and bend it to fit it good on your face..

Excellent video! Thank you so much for sharing this.

Thanks for sharing :)
How did you make the melting part?
How does it work?

I love what y'all r doing...great work!!

Dave, which brand of 3d printer do you recommend to work with the raw material?

I used to work as an plastic injection moulding technician and find this very interesting

Have you ever tried an press forming plastic sheet? And ever considerd of using 3D printer mould?

Dave what about building bricks for construction? That would be awesome!

Este vídeo es bastante interesante, me gustaría aplicarlo en mi país. Voy a seguir aprendiendo de los sistemas de reciclaje y bueno espero que algún momento cercano comprar estas máquinas y producir placas para la construcción de casas o alguna otra cosa útil y así ayudar a limpiar este lugar de la contaminación.
Thank you very much for the video

Thanks for the video! Can you give an idea how to cast (or other technology to be used) to make rectangular shaped bin for trash, or cilyndrical?

i want to cry when i see this videos, im not the only one who want to change the world, and to change people's point of view when it comes to waste, keep on making ideas like this

Can you use wooden molds for plastic casting?
Or perhaps silicon?

Hi Dave, thank you for your efforts and sharing your knowledge.
i have mixed plastics ie. PA6, PA6.6, PA12 PA6GF30, PE, PP, ABS, etc. i plan to grind them down to 6mm fraction granulates.
can we mix this all together to create plastic lumber?

Hi, Dave hakkens thank you for sharing this amazing video. Which type of plastic Wil be strong? Can we improve plastic strength by adding any chemical?

I wish I was more creative! I am jealous (really admire) people who see through limitations and can envision possibility! It is such a gift! Great video!

This is really inspiring for plastic recycling and environmental activist

Класс! Хочу создать у себя мастерскую и так же создавать!)

Would love plastic planks for construction, more so if insect repellent, heat resistant, overall resistance to warping, and comparable tensile strength, and lighter. I wonder how practical can they be, cost wise and as an alternative to wood.

Woow que recursos con el plastico y las personas como lo botan. Que buen proyecto tienen.

You are doing awesome......man I m so impressed by your work.....easy machines....

❤️ Apaixonada !!! #recycle 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Creating new things from waste & Art from experiment, Brilliant 👊🏼

me gustó mucho tu idea! ♡ pero te agradeceria mucho si pusieras subtítulos a los vídeos 😂

Hi! This is such good news! Compeletely amazing! Where can we buy machines such as yours? We're interested as where we can have them.

Hi, great project!! but I have a question. Is setting up a little local plastic factory is better than collection of all of the plastic garbage to a big recycling factory?

Me encantó el video! sobre todo porque tiene un enfoque tecnico con datos precisos..

Very interesting, but what can you share about any toxic or harmful gases you may get exposed to working with and melting plastics?

I find it interesting that in many applications the plastic is pressed together with the extruder rather than heated in a more direct manner.

hi i would like to start recycling my own plastic but was wondering how you can remove the pigment/ colour from plastic and make it clear/ see through again. thanks for reading this and it would be great if you could help me : )

Hello MartinN! I really like what you make. I tell you that I have a poster workshop and I have a lot of vinyl scrabs after cutting with the plotter, which I recommend that I can create? regards

Thank you Dave, I´ll definitely do this in Ecuador. It will help a lot of people to find a source of income. We are having a hard time because of the oil crisis.
I wish you a lot of success.
Best Regards,
Alfonso.

Hi sir...your ideas are quite impressive...can you give me an idea for converting PC waste into PC granules...means schematic of the machines and apparatus for the same??

nice idea, love it! Want also such a machine

Hey there this is a great initiative. Keep up the good work. The only concern I have is when it becomes widely adopted. I haven't seen in any of the videos thus far instruction to label the plastic with the recycling standard codes. Thus if everyone is re-using the plastics. we will hit a plateau where we have no idea which plastic is which. Binding this initiative. Please add in the importance to denote which plastic the items are made from for future recycling efforts.

I have question? What tools do you use to melt?

Wow. How much did the shredder and injection mould machine cost you?

Умно и Мудро! Рассказывайте и дарите идеи! И Вам Воздастся!

Great channel, keep up the great work!

What kind of plastic would you advice for a thin piece (2mm) but very strong?

I am so excited to try this all out!

This is awesome. Good work you guys

OMG, i´m really shocked with your idea, i love it.... I´m from Ecuador, here we don't have recycling culture, so i´m really interested in share your idea and begin to do the same... Thanks for sharing your knowledge, because we need more people like you that are interested in the health of the world....

Hello. If you reclaim HDPE from milk bottles and mould them into something else, are they still considered safe for food?
