It began in 2019 when I started my lasercut acrylic jewellery business. I didn’t want to throw out my offcuts - we shouldn’t be throwing out plastic, right? So what could I do with all the offcuts I had? During lockdown I researched how to recycle acrylic and found a company who was doing it in Leeds. Since then I purchased a small heat press which allowed me to test out and perfect the process using up a small quantity of my offcuts. However, I needed a bigger press as I had so many offcuts and other acrylic artists I know were asking about recycling their offcuts. So I decided to buy a very large heat press and this is it.
