Apphia Ferguson at Smile Plastics shows how to transform plastic and other waste into beautiful solid panels.
At Smile Plastics, our entire business was founded on the creative reimagining of ‘waste’ as a material of value. We take waste plastics and other materials traditionally classed as waste, and transform them through our unique processes into large-scale, solid surface panels.
We tend to focus on single-use plastic packaging and other materials that would usually find their way to landfill. We chose these plastics to disrupt the unsustainable industrial ecosystems that have become the norm, whereby finite and useful materials have very short, single lives.
