Service 03
Product Creations
Once materials are cleaned and broken down, we melt plastic through one of three machines to make jewelry, beams, or other objects. Metals are melted in a smelter and poured into granite or sand-cast molds. This is the fun part of recycling — and also the hottest.
- 3 plastic machines — jewelry, beams, and objects
- Metal smelter for scrap aluminum and more
- Granite and sand-cast molds
- Handmade, one-of-a-kind pieces
