Recycling
Which is the ideal plastic to create jewels?
I’m launching a company that designs jewelry using recycled plastic collected from mountain areas. I’d like to explore whether it’s technically feasible to create pieces by mixing different types of plastic with the same melting point—this would streamline material selection and maximize upcycling potential. If this approach isn’t viable, which single type of plastic would you recommend as the best option for jewelry production?extrusion
