LDPE or PS.\nAfter welding, you can also improve the edges. I rub with additional hard plastic over the edges, but you can also polish.\n\nFor more information about the lamps visit https://johannplasto.de/.de or \nhttps://www.instagram.com/johannplasto/\n\nGreets! 🙂\nThomas"

    description: "Hi there! :) Johannplasto is a small scale recycling workspace (Verified Precious Plastic Workspace) in Dresden - Germany. WIth the capabilty of shredding plastic waste and injecting the flakes in to new objects we are capable of recycling a lot of common thermoplastics like PP, PE & PS, but also 3D-Printing Plastics like PLA & ABS. We produce products for different companies and support the chain from idea to end product and offer also a range of Johannplasto products like lamps and screwdrivers. We also have machines to recycle PET bottles into new 3D-Printing filament. Get in contact if you have a product idea, need an injection mould, if you like to recycle your plastic waste or need help to set up a recyling workspace. Thomas @Johannplasto"
