In this video, we’re testing the highly debated topic of ‘how many times can plastic be recycled?’. Looking online gives you a whole host of mixed results with a lot of generalisation about ‘plastic’ as a single material. We decided that we were bored of people using this as an excuse as to why ‘recycling doesn’t work’ and decided to test this out for ourselves.
To be super clear about our tests - we’re using recycled HDPE and running it through our machines at 230 degrees celsius. The plastic is only melted for as long as is necessary and doesn’t ever go beyond this temperature. All of our plastic comes from post-consumer waste sources and we are very careful about sorting, separating and cleaning the plastic before we let it enter our material circulation.
We’re fascinated to hear what you think of these results. We absolutely could have gone beyond 30, but we weren’t expecting the plastic to last as well as it did to be completely honest with you! We can also repeat these tests in other materials to see if the results are similar, so let us know if that’s something you’d like to see.
Oh, and here’s a link to our carabiners if you fancy one!
