This sample, produced by Plastic Wood Studio, is created from the shredded plastic produced by New Life Plastics (https://www.nlplastics.com.hk/). It is produced mostly from recycling soap bottles, bleach containers, and hand sanitiser. When melted and pressed in various formwork, each plastic sample showcases its own unique arrangement and pattern of colours.
Plastic Wood Studio (https://www.facebook.com/plasticwoodstudio/) was founded in March 2019 by Laura Li Nogueira and Boy Yiu Kwan-ho as a workspace for plastic recycling and manufacturing. In Hong Kong, plastic waste comprises the third largest category of municipal solid waste in landfills. Plastic Wood Studio works to recycle local materials to advocate for waste reduction and clean recycling in Hong Kong.
