How Furniture is Made from Recycled Plastic | Made Here | Popular Mechanics

In the latest episode of the Popular Mechanics series “MADE HERE,” we tour the factory for POLYWOOD, a company that takes recycled plastic (mostly milk jugs), turns it into “lumber,” and uses it to fashion outdoor furniture.

Governments across the world need to heavily subsidize and incentivize these ventures. It's a win-win in terms of working for the environment/proper waste management and also generating employment

Great vid. I wish recycling was a much bigger part of our society rather than landfill

[Ratchet]

It feels satisfying to watch recycling plastic waste into furniture or other products like this.

We purchased two Polywood adirondak chairs and a small table. They are GREAT and should last more than a decade in Florida humidity. I made two wooden chairs and they rotted in three years of Florida heat and humidity (and bugs).

Our 1960's ancestors knew the future would involve plastics. They would be so proud. They're crying happy tears in Heaven.

[EcoCraftDIY]

it is meaningful and can improve the current environment in the world

[Fixorfish]

No maintenance, colorfast without paint or stain/sealer....great addition to the building supplies quiver. Excellent choice for exterior trim, particularly in damp climates. Have used on my boats for storage compartments, trim and even flooring on my cataraft, to much success and satisfaction.

Nice I also started a shoe recycling business last year I hope to work with foreigners to bring in that waste to my country

[martinehammond]

That is awesome what they're doing with plastics.

[darkonikolic]

Awesome, the world needs more of such :')

[myrajhall]

When the chairs ware out can they be recycled?

[fanofhifi]

The world would be a very different place if we all grew up on farms and had inspiring Dads as role models.

[matt-rxhi]

Be great if one day we had 3d printers in our home and the plastics for packaging could be recycled and reused instead of most of it going to landfill

[britts.callison]

Great that this is in Indiana; a state with very low recycling. Plastic is not infinitely recyclable, like aluminum. Plastic degrades over time and with each process, like cardboard. Also, only certain plastics can be recycled cost and energy efficacy. It is still better to try to reduce plastic usage, like not using plastic shopping bags or straws.

I am 13 year old from India. And have to this thing in India

Terapkan di seluruh dunia, terutama di India

[sclpomy]

Anyone know where to get the engineering properties for Polywood?

[Pudentame]

Can you buy polywood boards if you wanted to build something out of it?
