You spin me round: Polyfloss whips up a frenzy

The micro-recycling unit enables consumers to shred their own polypropylene waste into fibres and repurpose it as they see fit.

‘Polyfloss can be used for a wide variety of applications such as insulation or packaging,’ the Polyfloss team tells LS:N Global. ‘Because polypropylene is often brilliantly coloured, it can be used to make unique objects with a new aesthetic.’

Providing consumers with the means to recycle their own plastic waste should make them more environmentally conscious, explains the Polyfloss team: ‘Plastic products rarely get a second chance. We hope Polyfloss will help people take a small step towards rethinking waste.’
