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.
