Basics

  • An alternatice to the Precious Plastic Shredder that works with bottles, or hollow containers, and shears/scissors
  • The user:
    • Places the container on the verticle rod of the Peeling Module , lining the bottom edge with the v slit before the angled blade
    • They then either use a "Rotator Module' , or just manually do it (most likely option), and spin it
    • This produces a ~0.5-1cm plastic "peel"
    • This can be used as is, or be cut into small squares/flakes, resulting in a similar product to that of the shredder
  • If the manual version is chosen, this can all be done with no power, and little setup cost
  • The peel can also be made into a rope (not sure on quality) which should be easier to work with than natural fiber rope if none other is available (melt frayed ends, instead of havving to cut/manually splice them ( User:Eric does small boat sailing, plastic rope is a modern miracle...), also may be easier to mass produce small scale (only need plastic bottles, not long natural/semi-synthetic fibers
