Plastify Workshop

 


Plastify is a indie company where they educate the public on the different types of plastic and their reusability, as well as sort, wash, recycle and melt the reusable plastics into coasters, carabiners and memorabilia. Personally i have had a lot of fun during this workshop, it was a very enjoable experience learning and trying out the different steps in making items. Sorting was not that exhilarating but it tested our teamwork as we had to remove stickers from milk jugs and put them into different compartments based on their plastic type and pass it on to the washing station. The washing station was simple as we just had to fill the bottle with a little bit of soap and water, shake it , dump the excess and dry it. The plastics are then shredded into flakes and are put into a melting press whete there was a lever we needed to press down to compress the melted plastic into the mold. It was very fun as we could just hang from the lever and press down on it, many of us tested our strengh against it. Finally the mold is then removed with the use of a screw driver, and the product is finished. As a collaboration with plastify we made a memorabilia in the form of a coaster (Shown in the picture). All in all it was a very positive experience giving our troop time to bond and have fun while producing something meaningful.
