From bin, to the factory, into the wild!

I have just returned from the factory floor, and was fasinated by the process by which recovered plastics that otherwise would rest in (the frighteningly close to capacity) landfill sites of Britain, are turned into our recycled plastic decking & walkways.

It seems to me the only logical method of producing such a product, saving trees while removing waste from our environment

Anyway, heres the process in pictorial form



Shredded plastic coming in



The moulds



A finished piece being removed


Cutting to size with a circular saw


The result: Beautiful!
