This guide takes you through setting up the process of heating and reforming HDPE plastic, to be moulded into re-usable shapes.

This guide gives an overview of the types of things that should be considered when planning an activity that uses plastics based materials. 

Plastic materials are heated to such a temperature that they will flow and are then forced under pressure into a metal mould or through a die.

Metal objects are heated to a temperature that will cause plastic powders to adhere to the heated surface and, when cooled, produce a plastic covering.
