Exploring the Viability of Recycled Plastic in Architecture with Polygood Panels | Architect Magazine


"Entrepreneur Dr. William Chizhovsky founded The Good Plastic Company in 2018 to address the worldwide plastic waste crisis. At the time, he had been experimenting with different waste streams and plastic types—including HDPE-based shampoo bottles, old toys, and trash washed up on Hawaiian beaches. He decided to focus on polystyrene (PS), as this polymer type is available at scale, performs well mechanically (e.g., doesn’t bend), and offers a high level of quality control."

Real Plastic Talks: Plastic The Villian or Plastic The Friend ?

Ongoing acts of plastic 
display for art walks and talks...

The tendency locally seems to be by some to selectively villify plastic... but the reality is this is one of the most amazing human achievements we all benefit from.





Town's garbage bins made from recycled milk jugs.


The only thing better than plastic is recycled plastic!


Plastic the useful friend to humanity...

or as George Carlin would say:

"Earth with plastic!"






go ahead.. add to the collection




  So why ban these materials we utilize? Control freakery mostly stemming from ignorance. 

A Nova Scotia 'first' - home was built with recycled plastic bottles!

Its good to think well of 
the usefulness of plastic
as a human achievement.


 If you ever have the chance to visit the UK's "Eden Project" their gift shop is huge and features all sorts of useful items made from recycled plastics and other materials... its located in an old clay pit re-invented into amazing gardens, exhibits and human friendly educational spaces.. especially loved the exhibit on Industrial Hemp... found in beautiful Cornwall in the south west of England and I highly recommend it!

I was fortunate enough to visit The Eden Project in Cornwall in June 2010 -- I recommend parents take their children there instead of a Disney-type vacation.

Footnote:

Plastic is a part of the lifestyle we know and love... its useful.. and randomly 'banning' some plastics is just ludicrous 'activism'.  Recycling is a huge opportunity to tap into untapped resources.



Thanks to Dave's Rock Emporium for display of plastic in varied colours... 
hopefully people have a conversation about this topic of new technology, creative recycling, and real productive work... 



more on plastic bans here:






Pulling together and using ideas and innovations is what will help humanity -- complaining about things and demanding things are banned is fascistic activity - is that the legacy you aspire to? Why?



"Never mind the bollocks" and continue celebrate plastic in your life.  It may seem the unpopular position but it is the right position...


Just remember that God loves you - find God.


See you around the town....



Young people should be educated about Bucky Fuller instead of David Suzuki - I have no idea why they are not taught about Bucky's life and work unless their Agenda is to dumb them down?

Home Built With Recycled Plastic Bottles and Ingenuity! Everything Is Useful and Recyclable, including bags and straws!





J.D. Composites... Nova Scotia Innovators Facebook.. https://www.facebook.com/jdcomposites/

Canadian builders have created a new way to turn plastic waste into environmentally friendly housing. JD Composites, a construction company led by Joel German and David Saulnier, built a three-bedroom home along the Meteghan River in Nova Scotia from more than 600,000 plastic water bottles—but you'd never guess it from just looking at the home.
