Description: If you're interested in learning new techniques to turn plastic trash into long-lasting valuable products using low-cost small-scale processes, then this course is for you. You'll learn how to create tableware, sign posts, jewelery, and other items from plastic scraps using equipment that can cost as little as 100 dollars.For some of us, recycling simply means putting our used plastic into the right color bin and hope it eventually gets to a recycling station where it will then be converted into new products. Many of us hardly get to see how that happens. We assume it always has to involve large-scale equipment and complex automated processes out of our reach. Indeed in most cases this is necessary to realistically recycling the large portion of plastic waste that we generate daily. Currently, humanity is generating the equivalent of its own weight in plastic waste every year. So we do need large-scale plastic recycling processes. However, there still seem to be some loop holes in the plastic recycling system whereby large amounts of plastics still don't get recycled or don't reach the recycling stations. So we do need more hands and minds on deck to ensure more plastics can be recycled. One of the limitations of plastic recycling is the cost and the options of products into which plastics can be recycled. The types of plastics that can be recycled using conventional recycling processes are also limited.  To this end, this course introduces new techniques for achieving a diverse range of products from a single low-cost plastic processing equipment. Participants will learn some techniques for adapting conventional plastic processing techniques to produce a wider range of products.Whereas in conventional plastic processing and recycling, different equipment and/or major modifications to equipment would be required to achieve each of the products that you will learn to make in this course.
