Powdered Recyclable Plastic

19/07/2019 at 17:34

I would like to see insights or inputs, from the previous plastic community, about making powdered plastic.

My initial thoughts was to use the bottle cutting tool that cuts bottles to strings, then use those strings as filament to a specially designed hot end that acts like a fixed position 3D printer, which will melted the plastic string down to a centrifugal spinning cotton candy machine thingy haha. But instead of making plastic fibers, another light motor will be cutting the thin melted plastic that are spewing from the fabric maker. making a powder-ish fine plastic.

This would hopefully lessen the need for the harsh shredder and make the plastic product  easier to reuse.

I hope we could come-up with a very conventional build, cheers!
