Join us in our innovative recycled plastic studio. Here we collect, sort, shread and press waste plastic into vibrant sustainable 1m x 1m sheets and products.
Waste plastic can be a precious material if treated creatively. Come and hire our machinery, take part in a taught workshop, buy your own pressed sheets, shredded plastic or get in touch to discuss a bespoke project.
If your plastic wastes have recycled plastic symbols HDPE (2) or PP(5) on hard plastics, clean them and bring them to our public recycling bin located on your left as you enter the Deep End, 21 Nithsdale Street between 10am-5pm on weekdays.
This recycled plastic counter was created for Fox William, a vegan cafe and coffee shop in Fort William. By reusing waste plastic from their day-to-day operations, we designed and produced this vibrant and eye catching coffee counter.
Here we reimagined post-consumer plastic waste by creating a series of of comfortable, high-quality chairs are made using waste plastic and reclaimed metal frames. These are lightweight, easy to clean, and stackable.
Once disassembled, they are fully recyclable.
Plastics are so versatile, they could be anything! Find out more about colourful everyday objects, ranging from small carabiners, magnets, bowls and clipboards.
