André Laban has managed to build himself this camera plastic material.

And the last material I'm going to talk about today is plastic, and, of course, my toaster had to have a plastic case.

We accomplished that this morning by encasing him in a block of KL93, a new plastic material stronger than steel.

We push that material to extruders where we melt it, push it through small die holes, make spaghetti like plastic strands.

They used to use a plastic packaging buffer, but we were able to give them the exact same physical performance with our grown material.

I've been working with plastic bags, which I cut up and sew back together as my primary material for my artwork for the last 20 years.

It's plastic pollution.

Some plastic, eh?

A plastic hammock?

Acronylon. Fibrous resistant. Plastic.

Plastic operations, voice lessons.

Recycling of plastic in many developing countries means the incineration of the plastic, the burning of the plastic, which releases incredible toxic chemicals and, once again, kills people.

I'm also concerned about the plastic in the refrigerator, and I'm concerned about the plastic and the toxins that leach from plastic into us and into our bodies.

The Dirt on Plastic Waste

We're using plastic explosives now.

It's a bad thing that plastic breaks down into smaller little bits, because it's always still plastic.

And both in the production of plastic, the use of plastic and the disposal of plastic, the people who have the bull's eye on their foreheads are poor people.

The middle line is millions of tons of plastic debris accumulating in our ocean, and the third line is radioactive material leaking from Fukushima nuclear power plant in the Pacific Ocean.

It's not just that gyre of plastic that I'm concerned about it's the gyre of plastic in the supermarket.

We must make the utmost effort to reduce the use of plastic packaging, and also to recycle all waste plastic.

There are four categories of plastics recycling primary recycling, in which the plastic is re used in the same application secondary recycling, in which material (mixed or contaminated) is used in less demanding applications tertiary recycling, in which the plastic is converted into monomers or chemicals and quaternary recycling, in which only energy is recovered through incineration. Each of these methods recovers a different amount of the embodied energy of the plastic item.
