This is rad! But, I have a suggestion: knitting needles. The material would be easy on the hands. I’m not sure how well the needles would perform as far as the Bility or what have you. But that would be a cool experiment. Try noodles, the size of a pencil or chopsticks with a nice point and four sides along the shaft. Yes, that’s what I would like to see you do with this material. It could have a better market, if they turn out to perform well. I imagine the 4.5 mm or larger sizes would be most effective, since I really skinny HDPE knitting needle might flex too much. This is fun! I want to do it someday, but right now you’re the one with the Panini presses
It would be interesting to see you have some local person (or yourselves) save their “2024” HDPE plastic for the entire year. Then in January of 2025 you make a sculpture out of it. What ever color comes out, so be it. That could be an annual tradition, each year you could see if they reduced their plastic consumption or not. This sculpture could probably be auctioned off for charity if desired
Hey as a curly girly could you please look into making a curly comb (a wide tooth come or one with wavy teeth) as I find normal combs don’t detangle my hair well. Also a handle would make it perfect. PLEASEEEEEE respond to this comment I’ve been looking for the perfect comb for years and I’m sure so many people would use them
Thank you for your videos, each video is an inspiration, thank you also for showing us in a fun and brilliant way how to preserve our planet! Directly from Cape Verde!
I just watched your video on ironing plastic bags to make durable sheeting material. That's a really cool ? way of recycling. I've always thought that utilizing plastic bags to make construction materials would be the best way of recycling because it could reduce the amount of wood used as well as Portland cement in the construction industry.
I'm having a lot of trouble making clean melts especially with white plastic lids from milk... I soak them and then individually clean them before putting them in to melt, and I've not once yet had a clean melt out - there's always some residual stuff it seems and it shows up so much on the white. I also tend to get contaminants, like cat hair and fibers, no matter how much I clean the sheets I use (silicone, which doesn't help as it often has static after a melt!) Or try to keep the environment clean. I should move the operation from the kitchen haha but is there any tips on getting plastic clean enough? I'm just processing years worth of lids I've collected into single colour sheets waiting for whatever I decide to do with them next. Having uniform sheets is good for me as it saves space.
Less an option for the recycled plastics (unless you have a hopper-style machine since filmanet creation is tricky/expensive/not very DIY) but more a good thing to keep in mind when you are 3d printing for ideas what to do with failed prints and the like.
Arrived on this lovely channel today ! and I was wondering why you guys didn't use a simply benchtop automatic plastic inject machine, to make as many inject objects as recycle plastic you can get... (a machine that can run alone in a 24x7 cycles ...)
Question about the metal mold: don't you get air bubbles stuck at the end of the comb's teeth? Coming from sculpture, pouring metal in molds, they always need tiny channels on the extremities for flow towards outside so that pockets of air/water vapor don't get stuck.
Genuine question (you may have answered in a Q&A video) how did--or do-- you deal with people thinking that since your product is made from garbage, or other free materials, it should be cheaper than brand new products?
It doesn't matter if its made out of rubbish it's developed in to something new, for god sake, and should be the same price, because of all the designing, time it takes, and machinery that's been bought. It's not like they have gone down a bin, their using plastic before it becomes rubbish and just thrown away. Thus saving it from ending upp in the sea or landfills. Use your head. 🤕
It’s a good question! More often than not, virgin plastic is made into products via large scale mass production. And compared to that, we will never be able to be cheaper, regardless of the raw material cost (for reference, virgin plastic is actually very cheap to purchase by weight). In our small scale or small-batch artisanal recycling system, we’re trying to change the perception of waste so that people value plastic and start to treat it differently. All of our product pricing is based on the time it take to source, clean, sort, shred, mix, inject, finish and package waste material into new products. We aren’t prepared to undervalue the work that we do just to meet the expectations of a throwaway society. Appreciate the question and the way that you asked it 🤙🏽🤙🏽
We have actually done this in the past, but it doesn’t work too well as you need a lot of pressure for the ♻️ symbol and less for the number, so you end up with inconsistent stamping.
hi!great channel! i'm approaching plastic recycling and i discover you, i think you're doing great! i have some questions if you can help: 1. i would really like to make lego bricks out of recycled plastic. i've read that the original ones are made out of abs so i bet the best type would be that one, but i mainly see other plastic recycling videos. also i bet they really should be done properly as they need certain precision to work, so i guess the first problem should be to design the exact mold and having some very good cutting company. then i bet i would need some experience on the whole process especially using molds. 2. i've seen your recent van conversion video and this is also great. As i'm pretty into it as well, i was thinking on making the most of the conversion with recycled plastic. I mean like using plastic instead of wood as much as possible. Do you think that would be very complicated? As lot of people convert their van and use a lot of wood which is not the most sustainable option both ecologically and economically i think could be great to produce a set of recycled plastic products which could be used as a kit for making custom van conversions Thanks for your attention
What machine do you use for the plastic injection? Is this a home brew setup, or did you buy it? Would it be possible to do a video that talks about your injection molding process more in depth?
Love all of your videos! I recently picked up a secondhand panini press and I'm looking to get started. I noticed in most of your videos, when recycling HDPE you tend to just stick with milk jug caps instead of the milk jugs themselves. Is there a specific reason other than just the caps have nicer colors?
I know I’m not either of the brothers, but I feel like I remember the jugs being used every now and again. But if the jugs are hdpe as well then I see no reason why they can’t be used. Try it!
What do you guys do about ventilation? Melting plastic will cause the chemicals in it to vaporize. I'd love to get into doing this but I'm afraid of the fumes and don't want to have to work outside. 😬
With so many of your colour blends relying on coloured milk bottle tops, when do you think the phase-out of coloured milk bottle tops is going to start impacting your operations?
I just thought.. could you make some afro combes? you know. the ones with bit longer teeth and sort of handle? I think thoose would look really nice with your marble plastik :D
Yeah great, as everyone is so interested in recycled products, get all that plastic out of the sea n stuff, it's a fantastic way of recycling. Keep it up bro's. Come up with more ideas, I can see aload of money being made. £££ X OH WOW, just seen more of your vids, you guys have got plenty of ideas, great vids too, full of information. I'm off now to get lost in more of your vids. Keep it up bro's. Stay safe. X
Там столько алюминия используется для одной расчёски!!! Сколько их нужно сделать и продать, чтобы окупить этот алюминий?! Продажами кто-то должен заниматься - это тоже надо оплачивать.
The more important question is where is it going, which is in our collection buckets (either via vacuum or manual picking up) for reuse in other projects and products
I love your plastic recycling advocacy! My only issue is you guys are actually producing microplastics in the process which in turn can harm the environment and a threat to human health. I hope you guys created a 'zero waste strategy' from the very beginning. Keep up the good work!
The question was asked.. so... here goes... Q: "Why aren't all combs made this way?" A: "Literally 10,000+ reasons." The method outlined here is cost prohibitive at large scale (new plastics is cheaper than sorting, cleaning and reusing old plastics) The method here would not scale well. It's simply faster to mass produce using injection molding than press molding. Time constraints. The multiple heating / cooling, and forming steps used here would simply be wasteful. The list of reasons is almost endless..
"why aren't all combs made this way?" because it's an incredibly slow and labor intensive process, that's why. and companies exist to maximize profit to the exclusion of all else, that's why.
While we don't pay for the plastic, the time it takes to collect, sort in to types, sort by colour, wash, dry and shred plastic, means it's a far more expensive material than virgin plastic. If we made these out of virgin plastic we could sell them at a tenth of the price, but our aim is not to compete in the comb market and sell as many of these as humanly possible, it's to find another use for plastic that has already been made and is otherwise likely destined for landfill.
@@BrothersMake While it's nice you kept it out of a landfill, you haven't actually thought the entire process through. You're using literally 10 times more (human) energy than it takes to use virgin plastic. And the problem is, food isn't magic. You burn 10 time the calories, you eat 10 times the calories....... Farming is MUCH worse for overall pollution, and climate change..... That's lots plastic for the pesticides and fertilizers, oil, gas, a helluva lot of water. Not to mention the vast amount of energy required to clean, process, package, ship, store, etc. Plastic in landfills isn't nearly as bad as all of that. Plastic in the ocean is a different story, but first world countries hardly pollute the ocean with plastic. You'd do much better, if your goal is to help the environment, would be to find a way to melt the different plastics into blobs or lumps, and use them as filler in something else. The excess food energy would go away if a simple, much less labor intensive use was figured out. Energy is energy, and human or machine, the energy used pollutes. Too food you ate to make the comb, literally polluted more than just making a new comb. That's not actually an improvement TBH.
@@BrothersMake But, I got a feeling your goal to make money, is at least as much as your goal to keep plastic out of landfill. And as far as that goes. It's well known that plastic loose in the environment, are MUCH worse. If your goal is to help, then walking around picking it up off the ground, would actually be a good use of 10 times the food. And I mean, it would be better for the environment than what you're doing now, if you picked plastic up off the ground, and put it in a landfill. 🤷 That's just how that works. But you couldn't make money on that...... It's nice you want to help, but you're not helping that much, if any.

This is rad! But, I have a suggestion: knitting needles. The material would be easy on the hands. I’m not sure how well the needles would perform as far as the Bility or what have you. But that would be a cool experiment. Try noodles, the size of a pencil or chopsticks with a nice point and four sides along the shaft. Yes, that’s what I would like to see you do with this material. It could have a better market, if they turn out to perform well. I imagine the 4.5 mm or larger sizes would be most effective, since I really skinny HDPE knitting needle might flex too much. This is fun! I want to do it someday, but right now you’re the one with the Panini presses

Have you guys ever really used a comb? I respect the cause, but these are not really usable...
Yeah use them all the time, great for beards!
@@BrothersMake maybe my lack of a real beard clouds my judgment... Anyhow, keep fighting for the cause!!!
Guys! Have you thought about more serious products? For example , about baseball bats ...
I imagine more ppl use combs, and find them more essential, than baseball bats. 🤷
Our injection machines have a max volume of 110g, so baseball bats would be impossible using this technique. But possible using a different method.
How is a baseball bat more serious than a comb? To anyone that is not a bald baseball player, the comb would be more serious.
@@nian60 A baseball bat weighs kilograms and is more than half a meter long, and this is a more time-consuming task than sawing 3 mm plastic
Maybe they're not all made this way, because your plastic is free, AND you're still charging about double what these cost in the stores. 🤷
While we don't pay for the plastic, the time it takes to collect, sort in to types, sort by colour, wash, dry and shred plastic, means it's a far more expensive material than virgin plastic. If we made these out of virgin plastic we could sell them at a tenth of the price, but our aim is not to compete in the comb market and sell as many of these as humanly possible, it's to find another use for plastic that has already been made and is otherwise likely destined for landfill.

While it's nice you kept it out of a landfill, you haven't actually thought the entire process through.
You're using literally 10 times more (human) energy than it takes to use virgin plastic.
And the problem is, food isn't magic. You burn 10 time the calories, you eat 10 times the calories.......
Farming is MUCH worse for overall pollution, and climate change.....
That's lots plastic for the pesticides and fertilizers, oil, gas, a helluva lot of water. Not to mention the vast amount of energy required to clean, process, package, ship, store, etc.
Plastic in landfills isn't nearly as bad as all of that. Plastic in the ocean is a different story, but first world countries hardly pollute the ocean with plastic.
