And stop using plastic in the first place for so many things!

catalinb It would make more sense to start from the top down. Government needs to implement strict laws to stop allowing manufacturers from making products with a deliberate expiry date. They made refrigerators in the 50's that are still functioning today, so we know it can easily be done. Retailers need to NOT be permitted to load the dumpsters with brand new goods. These are two simple things that would have an IMMENSE impact.

@@annieo9468 Yes, I completely agree with one small addition. We cannot and should not wait for the government to get things going, otherwise we will be waiting too long for anything to get done!

That and a ton of micro plastics were created while making this silly nightstand

I think we'd be better off just turning waste plastic into bricks. There's too many steps to take in energy needed to turn it back into something complex.

Useless B's for the first world r rds feel better about themselves.

What wrong with a landfill!? People r so stupid

@@renaissanceman1996 because there is a major problem with too much waste. Lots of it to can be recycled, repurposed or reused!

Both opinions on this comment are hopelessly affected by the "in groups" they belong to without actual contemplation for themselves: Clearly the affect humans are having on this planet is detrimental and unsustainable, so the question of "what's wrong with landfills" is a ridiculous, self centered, and near sociopathic attitude to adopt... Yet mindless belief that anything labeled "green", "organic", "renewable" or "recycled" is beneficial for the globe and future of is and other species which inhabit it is JUST as misguided. If you want to ACTUALLY improve outcomes (as you seem to suggest is crucial), then you need to be WAY more involved and honest in LONG TERM calculations of waste and energy consumption. ***Is making this into a dumb side table REALLY keeping it from a landfill? We need to plan over CENTURIES, not years, so if it's used for a couple years then thrown out anyway, absolutely nothing was accomplished (except pretending your self serving beliefs were for the sake of the world). Think harder. Give your "opinions" the respect of contemplation. ( or they're not opinions, they're just 🧠 washing that youre regurgitating )

@@MichelleJ1822 Well the problem is neither people nor them throwing it into waste. The problem is capitalism and plastic being cheap crap to be able to make more profit than with more enviromental friendly packaging. Heck over half of the products wouldnt even need a packaging in the first place.

I could be wrong but it really looks like it’s just a cheap veneer. Certainly doesn’t look like it would do well with a stain at all.

I saw a dent in the side that they probably had to fill in and cover; hence the paint.

Two waffle makers

And Thrifted at that!

Конченные, могли сделать что то типо повера, от обычной сети, внутри место позволяет уместить блок зарядки и литиионки

At least it is delayed landfill.

I was gonna say those were new 😂

If only it ALSO benefited the environment.

It's so realistic. Who knew we could diy recycling in our own homes😮‍💨😒

Yes always wear appropriate PPE and use good ventilation when working with plastic

The good thing about HDPE #2 is that it melts below the flash point and won’t put out smoke if kept at a low enough temp.

So my Coca-Cola bottle crack pipe is a bad idea?

@@TheBeefSlayer Yes.

​@@TheBeefSlayer~ 😄👍

This is Poly Ethylene. It is cleaner burring than propane. It is safe to burn indoors, it is commonly mixed with paraffin to make candle waxes and burns cleaner than the wax. It's so safe, they put your food in it. Poly Styrene and Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) on the other hand, those are made out of mustard gas and the fumes will kill you if you look at them wrong.

@@zyxwvutsrqponmlkh perfect response to my comment actually, perfect clarification on my points. I personally don't know much about plastic melting, either so yeah.

And yet poly styrene is used for some food containers/packaging and PVC is what the drinking water pipes in your house are likely made from. We're screwed. ​@@zyxwvutsrqponmlkh

Is it "awesome upcycling"? Definitely a cool little "maker" creation, but the suggestion that is somehow good for the environment is a bit misleading ( or misinformed. )

same I wish I had a planer so bad. Shit I might splurge and get a small one.

This is what we do at work 🤙🏽

@@BrothersMake I guess I'm in the wrong business lol👍.

Thank you so much!

@@BrothersMakeagree 👍🏻 ignore all the hate 😮 u r all very skilled at what u do 👍🏻😄

put recycled bla bla into google there are many types

@ellisburton8733 Excellent idea.

I believe it is a silicone baking mat, they mention it in their other videos.

woah?? where’d you teach that! I would love to take a similar class!!

The only way they're "recycled" is if you prevent them from entering the waste stream for DECADES, or CENTURIES, not years. This will just end up in the garbage like everything else, so the efforts are futile... but bottle cap necklaces are certainly no better.

You suck, he was making smth nice for himself for him home to enjoy and better himself, go away😹

all plastic made, no matter what, will break down into microplastics. recycling just means it gets more than one use. plastic can never be anything else

​@@pemo2676 yes, but in a proper plant they're going to reuse small bits too, here they created more trash that can't be recycled. And they went about it with a very unhealthy method..

Or take the same cable and put it in a hole on the bottom of the phone. Extra: the phone is still usable for talking and browsing while it is charging.

@@Kregorius LOL exactly! I never quite got the point of these self-charging tables. Is plugging the wire in so time consuming? 😂

If it smells, you’re doing it wrong

Literally how maker businesses work 😅

@brookelord3448 sure ban the one time use grocery bag that's filled with the film wrapped apples &/or veggies; plastic bag wrapped bread; Saran wrapped pound of deli meat; 1 time use mustard & ketchup; plastic wrapped lettuce; plastic bag wrapped chips; a plastic bag of nuts & for dessert a plastic wrapped Popsicle. Banning grocery bags is merely a 'look what we did' symbol of worthless government overreach while ignoring the other 99% of plastic uses they're too afraid to tackle
