Hi guys, anyone idea what to do with 2 - 3 tons of polypropylene(PPR) and maybe more. It is made of used indoor water pipes for hot and cold water. They are not clean inside  - there is dried dirt overlay inside. And also some little dirt outside on surface. Here is picture of particular pipes: https://imgur.com/yYHdb0g I think that pre-shredding, shredding, cleaning in water bath/rotating barrel, melting(extrusion), cooling, cutting and selling granulate would be probably best idea. But, lot of investment is needed for this whole recycling process. I dont even know how could i shred them, they are very firm and solid. So then I found some local companies, which are buying plastic waste. But they offer very low price for it. But imagine that quantinty, how much stuff could I make and create from it, but I have no machines, no tools - yet :-) I also had idea, if i could use final product as a string fillament for 3D printers, but i think it it not so flexible for this usage. Wanna know your ideas and opinions. Thanks, David from Czech lands
