I can’t tell you how much confidence you have given me in creating things out of plastic. I have always thought we are wasting and not reusing. As a surfer and surf coach our industry is planet mindful but also wasteful. I have made my first surfboard fin an I will continue to make things from recycled plastic from my community. Thank you Dave and your team. You guys rock
As a skater, a skateboard is a really bad idea. You would scrape the tail on the ground and shred plastic everywhere. I would recommend using an organic material on any point of contact on anything that would wear down or you're creating micro plastics.
jessejamesb your already leaving polymers (plastic) every where because all the skateboards we use are glued ply from maple and other trees, lots of polymers are use for this process. We are also creating more C02 by chopping down the trees. Lesser evil plastic which isn’t micro fibres. Micro plastic fibre floats in the air and is very dangerous to breath.
How about making long boards and Penny boards instead then, as you don't use them the same way? Obviously, the long board would have to be strengthened in some way, so it wont bent, but still
@@psacentralcoast6970 yeah, but he does have a point, it will be ground down, which is a potential issue. I don't skate, but it sounds like you do. Would it be possible to coat the bottom of the skateboard in something, or would that be senseless?
Hey, Jason, the guy behind the skateboard here. This concern did pop up during my research phase but i still consider it a step in the right direction. If you look at the state of the plastic before; (1.6kg) it mostly comes from smaller pieces, cups, bottle caps food wrapping. By forming it in to a relatively large product you are capturing all these small pieces and storing them in one piece, that has a perceived value from a person, so is more likely to be looked after by the owner. Granted there will be a small amount of micro plastic but: 1.) It is a small percentage of the mass of the amount of plastic stored in the board. 2.) This also happens in wooden decks as they are glued with polymer based resins, which are typically virgin plastic anyway. If you have any more feedback about the project drop me an email or sign up to my mailing list about the project ;) www.mandin.earth/jason#/recycled-plastic-skateboard-deck/
Would it be possible for you guys to record the whole process of making some new products from waste? It is ultra-satisfying to see waste being recycled into something useful. I believe that might go viral and help you get more view as well.
Guys, I just want to thank you for posting all the videos and information on your channel. I'm just now starting to get into home recycling due to the local recycling truck being closed from COVID. I'm looking forward to trying a lot of the processes at home to make some cool stuff.
Depende del plastico, El PS por ejemplo deja un olor muy característico, hay un video que habla de los VOC's en profundidad. --> th-cam.com/video/bsj6qHHLynk/w-d-xo.html En general es recomendable utilizar un filtro de carbono activo, no solo para filtrar los olores si no los humos nocivos que pueden reusltar de una mala practica o quemado del plástico.
Hi brothers maker, i watched your video from south africa and I am too interested in this waste management. Really it's inspiring and please tell me on how to buy your machinery for this project!!!? Please please!!
Most single use plastic shopping bags are HDPE - which they use in a lot of the projects. Check and see if there's a label identifying the plastic content on yours.
Cool, but several K for equipment is bit much. Design 3D printing filament making machine that produces high quality material and i might be interested.
@@erijuanda the bazaar is online. It's where you can buy peoples products from recycle plastic or in your case machines. You can to preciousplastic.com and to their bazaar.
I beam? Bricks i can understand, some bricks don't hold much force and weight. Such as fence. But i beams? if you had to call it i beam, it will lead to a question, how much tons it is going to hold? And the nature of recycle plastic is not a weight lifter, unless you put a steel rod inside. Back ro square one, then it is a steel i beam with plastic coating. Not a plastic i beam.
I agree. Our bus stops had plastic beams for seats. Every 1 of them began to sag after a while. The only use would have to be temporary beams, or where perfect straightness isn't a big deal for the life of the beam. Maybe skateboard ramps?
Precious Plastics needs to learn MASS. MACHINE BASES are currently made from EPOXY GRANITE ... and other minerals. So... IF YOU WERE SERIOUS.... YOU COULD WASTE A LITTLE PLASTIC on developing NON-METAL FRAMES for ALL your EQUIPMENT DESIGNS.

I LOVE the idea of the recycled plastic outlets and switches! The color options are endless!

I’m going to make all kinds of decks from plastic. It’s a no brainer!

Genial eu gostaria de fazer parte desse projeto, queria implantar aqui no nordeste 🇧🇷
Great job👍, as plastic waste problems get more and more bigger. ..
Good information. Thnx a lot
Amazing desain ❤
This is so exciting 🎉
Hola Vicente, Muy ilustrativo.
Una consulta, al hacer "melting" que sucede con el olor???
Mas temperatura, mas humos.
Depende del plastico, El PS por ejemplo deja un olor muy característico, hay un video que habla de los VOC's en profundidad. --> th-cam.com/video/bsj6qHHLynk/w-d-xo.html
En general es recomendable utilizar un filtro de carbono activo, no solo para filtrar los olores si no los humos nocivos que pueden reusltar de una mala practica o quemado del plástico.
Bro after recycling plastic loose it's flexibility, plz tell how to restore it again.in newly made product.
esta fantastico no le entiendo muy bien al ingles pero esta genial si no fuera muy problematico podrian poner titulos en español gracias
Es un fallo considerable que no subtitulen en mas idiomas.

Amazing! Keep up this great work
Como hacer una extrusora como esa x fa gracias
De dónde eres??
S'il vous plaît quelle est le liquide utiliser pour préparer le plastique de tel sorte que ça ne colle pas sur le métal ??
Thank you good job 👍
How can we make plastic products heat resistant?
gracias por sus consejos amigos
Can I build house with a plastic bricks?
conceptosplasticos.com/ yes you can
I want to know how to make those building blocks!!
Check this video out! th-cam.com/video/Aqn1PYbkgf0/w-d-xo.html
plastic needs to be stamped with improved identification symbols ...... machine readable code and at least 2 cm in each direction
Thanks!
Can we recycle Plastic Bags from this machines? Bcos in most of in ur vdo it's hard plastic. Pls give information about plastic bags
Most single use plastic shopping bags are HDPE - which they use in a lot of the projects. Check and see if there's a label identifying the plastic content on yours.
great vid
Where are the plans for the machines, I can’t for the life of me find them ???
can i just say i was distracted bcs he's cute
Please can you please tell me where can I find the extrusion machine????? thanks

dpnt be so bloody negative. this community is a work in progress, its gathering momentum over time.
what plastic is the most UV resistant ?
commenting because i want to know too
Same! Does someone knows?
where we can get machines for manufacturing various kinds of plastic products
You can get it at the precious plastic bazaar.
when and where was the bazaar held?
@@erijuanda the bazaar is online. It's where you can buy peoples products from recycle plastic or in your case machines. You can to preciousplastic.com and to their bazaar.
The sockets are not virgin material :)
you have high standards, for what you plug into ?
♥️
Vicente, guapo!
hehehe ☺️

what is worse ..... plastic in the environment ..... using energy
Really harsh audio.

square tube dirt cheap and much stronger.
