Manufacturing of recycled spinning tops from bottle caps

This use case showcases how Meaux Factory, a Fab Lab, used HoliMaker equipment to raise awareness about environmental issues among young people, create opportunities for creative recycling, and ensure safety during these activities. The idea was particularly inspiring: making recycled spinning tops from bottle caps using manual plastic injection molding.

Step 1

collecte-tri-cas-utilisation-holimaker

Collection and sorting of plastic caps

The plastic caps collected by the young people are sorted to remove any non-plastic contaminants, such as labels or foreign materials, to ensure the quality of the material to be injected.

Step 2

broyage-cas-utilisation-holimaker

Plastic crushing

Once the plastic caps are collected, they are processed by feeding them into the HoliShred we provide. This machine reduces the caps into small pieces, creating a plastic material ready for reuse.

Step 3

Plastic injection

Injecting the material into a mold to create the spinning tops. This step allows young children to transform plastic waste into reusable and fun objects.
