Hi!!! We started on Instagram before we started building our site. You can check us out, follow us, and chat with us over at @freeplasticorg

This was our first post: Free Plastic 101: Making a Trophy

  • Step 1: Farm plastics from your local environment.
  • Step 2: Deliver plastics to Free Plastic.
  • Step 3: Introduce your locally-sourced, organically-farmed plastics to a shredder.
  • Step 4: Mulch your plastic while you yell “Die plastic die!” (yelling optional).
  • Step 5: Mix 8 ounces of epoxy resin with 6 ounces of mulched plastic, and pour into your mold.
  • Step 6: Once cured, remove from mold.
  • Step 7: Rinse and repeat.

Enjoy!! And for those concerned about the long term effects of thermoset plastics over the recyclability of thermal plastics, here’s a little teaser: we are working on a new system to recycle thermoset plastics like epoxy, vinyl ester, and polyester. (!!!)
