How Beads are Made from Plastic Waste

This mould was one of our very first moulds we ever received, which makes 10 beads at a time. We could absolutely make this more efficient by making a new mould with lots more cavities, but bigger mould = higher cost, and so far this one has been doing us just fine!

These little donut shaped beads are popular with jewellery makers. We also want to make a full size fly curtain in the summer made out of thousands of these! An abacus could also be really fun with multi coloured beads.

This colourway is one of our most popular, called ‘Nebula’. Every time we overfill a mould or an injection fails for whatever reason, we re-shred that plastic down and and use it for this awesome, multi-coloured blend. It’s our most sustainable colour and super popular.

What should we make next?
