Nothing to landfill.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery recycled plastic coaster is made by hand in the workshop from around eight reclaimed bottle lids. They get collected, sorted by colour, cleaned, shredded, then heat pressed into one solid marbled hexagon. The plastic swirls as it melts, so the one you get is the only one that will ever look like that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottle lids are one of the most common bits of plastic waste and one of the least likely to actually get recycled. They are too small for most kerbside sorting machines, so they end up in landfill or in the sea. We collect them, clean them and turn them into something you will actually keep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape and size:\u003c\/strong\u003e hexagon, roughly 10cm (4 inches) across\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColourways:\u003c\/strong\u003e Midnight, Granite or Rockpool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuy as:\u003c\/strong\u003e a single coaster, or a set of four in one colourway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e recycled HDPE plastic, natural cork base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade:\u003c\/strong\u003e by hand in Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e wipe clean with a damp cloth, not dishwasher safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIn the box:\u003c\/strong\u003e one coaster, or four if you pick the set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe three colourways\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMidnight\u003c\/strong\u003e is deep purple-blue with darker swirls running through it, like a night sky reflected on water.

It also gives you a flat edge to pick the coaster up by.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill mine look the same as the photo?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClose, but not identical. Each one is pressed by hand and the recycled plastic swirls differently every time, so the pattern will vary a little from the picture. That is the whole charm of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I put a hot mug on it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, a hot mug is absolutely fine. A hot pan straight off the hob is not. Keep it away from direct heat and it will last for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do the sets work, and can I mix the colours?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChoose Set of 4 above and you get four coasters in the one colourway for £30, which saves you £2 on buying them one at a time. If you would rather mix them up, add four singles to your basket in whatever colours you fancy. Either way they arrive together in one parcel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it scratch my table?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The base is natural cork, which grips the table and protects the surface underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat plastic is it and where does it come from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is HDPE, the plastic used for bottle lids and milk carton caps. It comes from lids collected and handed in locally, then washed and shredded here before pressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA damp cloth is all it needs. Do not put it in the dishwasher, as the heat will soften the plastic and spoil the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e it comes in kraft card packaging you can recycle. Small orders are posted in a compostable mailer bag. To be straight with you, that bag is compostable plastic and needs an industrial composting facility, not a home compost bin. Bigger orders go out in cardboard boxes reused from a local logistics company.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forma Designs Collective","offers":[{"title":"Midnight \/ Single","offer_id":58376517943679,"sku":"COA-HDPE-MID","price":8.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Granite \/ Single","offer_id":58376517976447,"sku":"COA-HDPE-GRA","price":8.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rockpool \/ Single","offer_id":58376518009215,"sku":"COA-HDPE-ROC","price":8.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Midnight \/ Set of 4","offer_id":58384379150719,"sku":"COA-HDPE-MID-S4","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Granite \/ Set of 4","offer_id":58384379183487,"sku":"COA-HDPE-GRA-S4","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rockpool \/ Set of 4","offer_id":58384379216255,"sku":"COA-HDPE-ROC-S4","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0935\/0024\/4351\/files\/il_fullxfull.8457722198_h3e4.jpg?v=1788716789","url":"https:\/\/formadesignscollective.com\/products\/recycled-plastic-coaster","provider":"Forma Designs Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
