Are you suggesting that I clean my Polyester garments with The Cleaners instead of the washing machine?🤔
Amazing
Where does ABS fall in the classification? Would it be “other”?
I used recycled polycarbonate for my studio II project for the roof of my structure and my reviwer said that the material is much weaker than glass and will likely be have to be destroyed or repaired very often from UV rays and degradation he also mentioned that recycled poly carbonate is not healthy or sustainable as a building material. Thoughts?
Thank you!
Thankyou this useful for my exam revision Thanks dude 😁
Good video thanks ❤
Great insights. Thank you! My frustration is that stores like Walmart or other stores that have their own delivery services are now sending deliveries to the customers using the thicker plastic bags. I think what xould help this is if we do a sort of deposit on bags like how some places do with shopping carts that use a dollar to unlock them from the cart corrals or like how people can get deposits back on plastic bottles. That way, we can have a more finite number of thicker bags made and just circulate the incredible abundance of them that already exist. It also stops people from being overwhelmed with having too many of them than they know what to do with because the stores can just take them back and use them again.
I have worked for more than 15 years with plastic injection as a mechanical design engineer, never heard of a mold of this size and complexity (pretty simple molds in this screwdriver) that cost 100K USD, not even close. From what I saw he should have 3 molds, lets say 4 cavities each, all of them together should cost no more than 100K for molds with a 500K-1M cycles lifetime (and this is an estimate on the expensive part of the spectrum you can get it lower), I guess he has 1 metal mold too which should be around the same price of 1 plastic mold and some machining for the other ratcheting mechanism parts. Most of the costs goes to the R&D process. Design of a product like this should take around 1 year from start to finish, so I guess the 3 years process is what cost him so much.
One type of pastic wasn't mentioned.....the trust of humans.
Well I'm planning on recycling my own PET from water bottles for printing instead of abs, and this just made me want to do it sooner. At least I can recycle abs by dissolving it in acetone and using it to glue other abs parts together.
Wrong information. Polyester is toxic for environment and health
We ingest 5 grams of micro plastics a week! Our clothes have to be a huge contributor considering we wear it constantly… 😢
nalgene sells water bottles made with HDPE. is that safe? thank you!
for your wrap n save have you thought of bundling it up with a painting kit?
Great video learned alot
This made me think. Thanks.
Certainly puts in perspective companies who use it to convey luxury, charge so much for it when really it’s cheap plastic like Ramy Brook. $300 for a plastic tank top
Great video, Explanation 🙏🏼
Starting a job as inspector of plastic sorting plants tomorrow, they gave me some documentation on the 7 categories of plastic, but it was kinda vague. This video helped a lot, thanks!
Wtf is that intro
polyester clothing is considered a major cause of microplastics in your body.
Thanks!
Its a great screwdriver but those proprietary short bits are its biggest downfall.
Thank you very much
Hello brother I am from Bangladesh , I learned a lot from you . ! Want to work with you further to explore more !😊🙋♂️
I feel like there's way more.
What do you think about the micro plastics people consume and what that means for human health?
Great 👍
your pronunciation was wrong lol
I am watching this video cause I saw another video of some company making a house with this type of stuff. Not good at all
Exactly the video I needed, thank you!
What type of plastic that contains silicon dioxide?
This was shockingly useful, engaging, and interesting. Thanks so much! Quick question, so for blown mold products like hospital/tattoo/safety wash bottles, can you estimate the production cost at scale per unit and why then why some of these items are on Amazon or Walmart retailing at $5-$11 per unit? I'm just trying get a feeling of the markup. Also, would you know how much injection molding is done domestically (North America, I'm in the US but as one of our wonderful neighbors to the north I''d imagine it's similar). Thanks if you give any answers but if not, great vid and best of luck!
2:07 did you just call spray 9 window cleaner?😂🤣 dude I use that stuff at my job and it takes grease off every surface just the spray and wipe of a rag she’s clean as a whistle!
well done!
cool thanks
This is surface level nonsense that this guy googled before the video. As soon as he started talking about polystyrene, it was over for me. He is SUPER misleading talking about it. He is talking about foamed polystyrene, there are plenty of grades of polystyrene that are brittle but wont "instantly disperse into 100 pieces". A lot of cheap containers are made of polystyrene, like nail polish containers, plenty of plastic cutlery, and anything that either needs stiffnes or high clarity. High impact polystyrene isnt brittle at all by the way, he conveniently left that out. Guy is a joke. Either he read a script or is one of those "Engineers" that spent 15 years in school but never went on a shop floor and wouldn't know the difference between a crescent wrench and a socket wrench.
Great video, thank you. Could you make one video where you show us how to tell if our sunglasses are made of polycarbonate or not?
The intro alone is enough reason to share this video. You should make that a short!
Thank you Plascon :D
Still trying to figure out how they make hollow parts!
Plastic recycling prefers lighter colored to darker colored plastics. Hm wonder where i've heard that one before ....
I pledge to NOT buy any snack bars from now on. What pledge can you make to help reduce the amount of plastic about people? It is important to NOT put it about if it is not all being recycled. It would be helpful to the entire planet if companies only put 100% recyclable products and packaging about.
Thank you for this helpful video. I will go and look for wooden toothbrushes! I have not seen any about in London but maybe I was not looking properly. When i finish with one toothbrush i usually put it to the side and use it to clean the drains, the top of the pipes under the basin/sink plugs that get really grimy. It is really good for cleaning the underside of the sink plug too and the grouting in the showers and bathrooms. I have also stopped using very chemical products in the bathroom. Last month i decided to start buying a washing up liquid and now I am using that to clean the bathroom units. It feels less harmful than using the cleaning products made specifically for the bathroom which probably contain more bleaches and harmful chemicals. It works really well. I use washing up liquid, the Ecover one to clean EVERYTHING in my home, floors, plates, bathrooms except toilets! I have also found a plant-based castille soap that can be used in this way for dishes, floors, surfaces. Dr Jacobs Naturals plant-based pure castille all-in-1 soap!
You forgot to add 8. SOUTH KOREANS
Microplasic is in our Bottled water. Have fun drinking your cancer
It's garbage. Literally and figuratively
