Question: What is the plastic like that you make is it flimsy like carier bags or more rigid or have you made a variety

When I make my plastic, it actually comes out as a powder that flows like water! This is not what you might expect. This is because the polymers that make the plastics are actually inside tiny balls as they “grow”.

The plastics you see around you may have started their life in similar forms.They would then go through further processes to be made into bags or one of the many other uses of plastics! For example they are sometimes melted into a particular shaped mould and then set- like advent calendar chocolates!
