We make video content based around recycling and sustainability for our YouTube channel. \n\nWe also have a range of plastic moulding machines in our Bournemouth workshop where we sort, shred, inject and extrude recycled plastic. We mainly work with HDPE, PP and LDPE sourced from schools, beach cleans and our local community.\n\nOur small team manufactures products that we sell on our website: www.brothersmake.com and we can also offer wholesale pricing on all of our products. Please get in touch if you are interested in a wholesale order. \n\nAs well as manufacturing our own products, we are able to help bring your product ideas to life. If you have a product or component that you'd like to be made from 100%, locally sourced plastic with zero additives or colourants used then get in touch, we'd love to chat!
