Upon educating myself a little further about plastics, I actually realized this was a bad thing.

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

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.

Now most people think that's because plastics are a throw away material, have very little value.

So the traditional ways of separating materials just simply don't work for plastics.

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

Packaging materials including tape, cardboard boxes, plastic wrapping, foam packaging chemicals, etc.

Subjects of the investigations were none ablative materials (fibre reinforced ceramics), ablative materials, flexible (FEI) and multilayer insolations (MLI) as well as carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) plates and sandwich panels.

It is down cycled and turned into lesser things, while a glass bottle can be a glass bottle again or can be used again a plastic bottle can never be a plastic bottle again.

We take out the things that aren't plastics, such as the metals they missed, carpeting, foam, rubber, wood, glass, paper, you name it.

Plastik

This is a material you all know is Styrofoam, but I like to think of it as toxic white stuff.

I bought some Super Sculpeys, some armature wire, some various materials.

So what are we to do about this space age material, at least what we used to call a space aged material, these plastics?

At the end of this process, we have a mixed plastic composite many different types of plastics and many different grades of plastics.

Paper and plastic products, packing materials, camp stores, hoses, fittings kitchen and catering supplies.

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

It's plastic pollution.

He's given a little bottle massage, a little bottle medal.

Whenever possible, refuse single use and disposable plastics.

I went into the metal because it was a way of building a building that was a sculpture.

And by using mycelium as a glue, you can mold things just like you do in the plastic industry, and you can create materials with many different properties, materials that are insulating, fire resistant, moisture resistant, vapor resistant materials that can absorb impacts, that can absorb acoustical impacts.

It's mostly many types of plastics and many types of metals.

Plastics have taken the place of many conventional materials.

Imagine if a group of sculptors could be inside of a lattice of atoms and sculpt with their material.

These include window and eave curtains, hammocks, tents or plastic sheeting for use in emergency situations (e.g. refugee camps).

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.

Plastic just is not going to do it.

It's a material hardener and synthetic estrogen that's found in the lining of canned foods and some plastics.

Recycled plastics material means material recovered from used industrial packagings that has been cleaned and prepared for processing into new packagings.

, except that inner packagings that are liable to break or be easily punctured such as those made of glass, porcelain, stoneware or certain plastics, materials, etc, should not be transported in such packagings.

And if you really look into it, particularly when it comes to plastic bottles, most of it is only down cycled, or incinerated, or shipped to China.

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

Now because the plastics are so plentiful and by the way, those other methods don't lead to the recovery of plastics, obviously but people do try to recover the plastics.

Moreover, most plastic products are made from so called petroleum based commodity thermoplastics. Given that a non renewable resource forms the basis of many plastic products most of which will not last long current plastics usage patterns are not sustainable.

This necessarily includes knowledge about the packaging material from which the recycled plastics have been derived, as well as awareness of the prior contents of those packagings if those prior contents might reduce the capability of new packagings produced using that material.

Provision is also made for purchase of supplies and equipment such as data processing supplies, health and safety materials, batteries, lamps, stoves, detergent, bottled water, construction materials and plastic sheeting and materials for shelter.

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.

It's a plastic bag.
