Most plastic bottles are made of PET plastic (polyethylene terephthalate), and in this video, I'll be recycling it into polyurethane foam. This was just one method of doing it, and in the future I might explore other ways.

I totally forgot to add at the beginning that the video was sponsored by Skillshare. I am really sorry about that.

I love how you calmly explain all the details including smashing plates, your lack of painting skills, jamming your thumb into things until they explode, and smashing things.

"So I just resorted to smashing it"... yeah, that's usually my approach to problem-solving

If I might suggest an edit, kind sir: Near the end of the skillshare promo, after showing the prussian blue stick figure, "Since I have been using the art courses on skillshare..." then cut to a still shot of the Mona Lisa.

For me as a polymer engineer, it really was a pleasure to watch this video. Great stuff!

I should mention that the commercial polyurethane foams are much thinner than your gooey chemical, I don't know why, or if they added some kind of a thinner to make it flowable. But it seems like a good way to recycle PET bottles and make home insulation on the cheap. Why aren't the bottles recycled more often and ending up polluting the seas? In Europe they have bottle deposits where you get your deposit back by turning it back into the shop.

I just spent the last 2 months doing research on polyurethanes. Good work

I've been bamboozled. Just 2 days ago I was thinking to myself "NileRed should do a video on recycling plastic" and now I see this.

Can you use the prussian blue that you made previously to colour the polyurethane foam?

I'm so excited for more videos about recycling like this! The thought that I might be able to reuse my plastic waste to mold polyurethane foam that I use for puppetry and art is highly appealing. Not only would it be a fun gimmick to say "Yes, this puppet was made possible because of my addiction to Dr. Pepper!" but if it is possible to mold, than it would be much easier to get the shapes I want this way than from attempting to sculpt (because cutting soft foam is a pain).
