Pay It Back to the Planet - Yanko Design

What if plastic trash could be turned into something skillful for nature? The Back to Nature concept answers this question by turning plastic waste matter into something that helps nature thrive rather than destroy it.

The gear up includes 3 products: a beehive, bird feeder and a flower pot, fabricated of 100% recycled plastic and targeted specifically for the benefit of wildlife and plants. Because that essentially every slice of plastic made still exists in some form today (because it takes thousands of years to naturally decompose), there'south plenty to go effectually for the earth's benefit instead of detriment.

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a plastic commonly used for products such equally detergent containers, milk jugs and water bottle caps. The HDPE recycling process starts by collecting the disposed products which are then cleaned, separated based on their color and shredded into tiny pieces. This material is and then pinch moulded to create the bodies of the beehive, birds feeder and flower pots. Infinite texture and colour variations tin can exist achieved by mixing the source materials in dissimilar combinations and proportions.

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is nowadays in shopping bags, food wraps and a diversity of packagings. Although ubiquitous it is harder to recycle and its disposal causes serious environmental threats. The cords of the beehive and birds feeder are thus fabricated of disposed plastic numberless cutting into strips and woven together to create a strong, water-resistant structure.
