The book was not what I expected - while general info was conveyed, it failed to give any serious help - such as the melting point of the various plastic groups, where to obtain equipment for the hobbyist through to a school or small start-up. Furthermore there isnt a section dealing with health and safety issues such as dealing with fumes and gooey substances of a high temperature. I had hoped for some tips on managing micro-plastic dust and tips on how to shape and finish products/creations.
It is an overpriced resource into the bargain!
Very informative, easy to understand booklet.
We run two cash for can’s business s in WA WE HAVE Just started our side arm of Plastic Solutions WA as a part of the Precious Plastics revolution .
To have the book written by people who have done the hard yards is a Godsend. We currently have on hand approximately 3 IBCs of bottle tops that we’ve just started prossecing.
