We Turned Waste PPE into a Recycled Plastic BENCH

A bench made from recycled PPE waste - now surely that's a better option than to let all that plastic pollute our earth?! This furniture build is the biggest project that we've made using beams that we've extruded ourselves. It was great to challenge ourselves and find out what this material is really capable of!

What do you think of the finished bench? It was great for us to finally try a new plastic. Polypropylene definitely behaves differently to HDPE but overall it was excellent to work with. We really like the unique texture on the beams. It gives the final product a really interesting visual appeal. A huge thank you to ReWorked for collaborating with us on this project and supplying the plastic. Go check out the awesome work they are doing for hard-to-recycle plastics.

See you on the next one guys!

I have to admit, I was expecting to see how you guys broke down the disposable masks, but knowing there's a whole organization out there implementing techniques to recycle is really encouraging and the resulting bench is gorgeous! I mainly have some disposables on hand in case I forget my reusables at home, but I will be thinking of this every time I see them C:

Besides the fact that a lot of plastic has been recycled, I can't believe how beautiful the bench looks!
Its colour is gorgeous and you didn't even have to paint it!
I hope this type of furniture goes in fashion in the future.
Awesome work guys!

[plasticpreneur]

Awesome to see what you guys create with our machines - love the result 🙌

[michellejohnson]

This would be a great way to recycle plastic to make communities better

[AdityaPrakash-ktrf]

Amazing POC guys! These kinds of ideas need to be commercialized. And government participation is important too. Great video👍

[rasmis]

I'm glad you showed the planing idea, and why you scrapped it. I was having the same thought.

[sustainabledesign.studio]

Glad it turned out so great for you guys! Looks great and World-first Recycled Facemask Bench....I think so!

[sakisp]

Imagine a world that all used plastic would become such a masterpiece, instead of polluting seas and forests. Nice work there guys, continue the good job 👍

[jodyshepard]

I'm so very grateful that folks are doing this!

The incredible outcome from recycled PPE is a beautiful piece of artwork. The bench looks fantastic! The moulds look the part too, nicely engineered.

[ickisthewolf]

I absolutely love this! Discarded masks have become almost as bad as cigarette butts these days! It makes me sick to see them blowing around like tumbleweeds. Thnx for sharing this guys! Always love to see you on the forefront of the recycling battlefield!💙💙

Great film, love the reveal location shot. Bench is awesome looking. Texture looks like pahoehoe lava. Mahalo for saving the planet! : )

I love the tecture, like a wood but save the woods 😍🥰💕

[BonesofStarlight]

Thank you for this, and for educating people around the world on recycling plastic waste! 💙💜

[maryhairy]

Every country should import this benches

[FotixTheMonster]

Amazing,
finding ways to re-use not only plastic waste but any kind of waste from food to even gadgets that are made from many different kind of materials but still be able to make something out of it is just amazing,

[Uniquettt]

Taken your waste home and recycling can help keep our oceans animals free from plastic harm. Our beaches cleaner and somewhere to sit. Maybe our beaches should have loads of these benches as a reminder. Excellent video

[shawnnelson]

With all the volcano activity going on in the world maybe make a table with red, orange and yellow with a sprinkle of black plastic.

[armeddeafboi]

Man this is pretty innovative imagine all the park benches and cities we could build if we collected all the ocean plastic and melted it down. I really want to see a test comparing the strength of non steel mesh reinforced beams and reinforced beams.

Amazing work as always! Love how it turned out, and the colour is lovely
