When plastics are increasingly embedded in our lives , the plastic recycling has become the focus of everyone's attention , according to the U.S. "fastcoexist.com" website reported that students荷兰埃因霍芬School of Design • Hagens Dave (Dave Hakkens) Do it yourself DIY plastic recycling studio and called on people to use the Internet to participate in, save the planet.

        DIY studio just in its infancy, but Hagens plans to all the resources of his own studio , including blueprints , templates, instructions and so share to the network , so that everyone can get involved. He also hoped that the community can gradually build this studio , residents can own DIY bottles , rather than relying on large factory production .

        In that people used to get only 10% recycled plastic , the Hagens visited some plastics recycling plant , look for the causes of low recovery of plastic . He found that companies often do not consider the use of recycled plastic products , because of its purity is not high enough . In addition, the production of recycled plastic will cause damage to production equipment . In understanding these reasons , the Hagens began to work on this project DIY plastic recycling studio . Hagens this studio named " waste plastics also a treasure ."

        Hagens studio modeled on the pattern of industrial recycling old plastic construction , but its simple workflow than the average plant , much more flexible. First of all, like a coffee grinder machine would smash the old plastic products ; Then, using a stove to melt the plastic pieces crushed into a slurry ; Finally, by injection molding, rotational molding or extrusion methods , casting the melt into each slurry variety of new -style products. Currently, the Hagens have created a plastic gun, toy cars , weaving baskets , cups and storage boxes and other products.

        Engaged recycled plastics recycling and processing enterprises and the large number of personnel and stable growth , based mainly self-employed and farmers , there are some other sectors investors. Plastics recycling industry for rural economic growth and employment for the rural surplus labor , increase revenue provides a channel for the use of renewable resources , environmental protection industry has made great contributions are an important part of the environmental protection industry .

        A recent opinion poll published by the European Commission report shows that European citizens awareness of environmental protection and recycling a substantial increase compared to the previous . Citizens demand for sustainable development of plastics swelling . To further meet the growing demand for environmentally friendly plastic , the EU member states constantly improve relevant laws and regulations, improve the recovery rate of plastics should also actively encourage breakthrough innovations plastic production companies .
