NEWSPAPER DELIVER BAGS

​We use these to make our Rubbish bags​. We fuze the plastic with a heat press and need about 12 layers to make a 'pleather'. We aim to collect 2 Million Bags. When you have at least 2 fully stuffed bags, please let us know or deliver to our ​ Collection Locations

SILVER FREEZER BAGS

These bubble wrap bags are often used to deliver groceries.

We pop the bubbles (fun!) and heat press to make our Climber and Fancy bags

CLEAR, SOFT PLASTIC

Large sheets that mattresses and rugs are delivered in. We protect the silver layer with this and also layer this in between the colorful plastic. When you rub it in your hands it doesn't make a crinkling sound.

BLACK TAKEOUT CONTAINERS

These need to be clean and dry - washed on the top shelf of a dishwasher is the most ecologically sound way to do this. We shred these at Peninsula Precious Plastics and injection mold them into chain links. We already have plenty of these for now, but will reach out when we need more.

ORANGE PILL VIALS

Empty and labels removed. We collect these for Coco Plum
