One Blue Eye: Recycling Plastics in Cornwall

One Blue Eye is a fantastic new plastics recycling hub in Helston. Set up by Matt who is passionate about turning single use plastic items into something that will be loved and used for much longer.

We met Matt at a market and were excited to hear about his workshops where you can go to his workspace and have a go at recycling plastics yourself. It was a fascinating couple of hours. Matt talked us through the various types of plastics, which ones he most commonly works with and then we had a go at a few different recycling methods and created some new items from waste plastic. It was great fun and has given us a few ideas for future projects with our own waste plastic from Incredible Bulk.

We won’t say too much more other than go check him out! You can find him on Facebook and Instagram and you can send him a message to book in for a workshop if you’re interested in seeing what can be done with waste plastic or pop along to his workshop to see the products he’s making.
