Hey all. I've been scouring the internet in an attempt to find fire hazard standards of Type 1,2 and 5 plastics. I have an idea for a data room product using recycled plastics but need to go down the fire safety rabbit hole first. Can anyone point me to material referencing chemical hazards of burning plastics?

@Vince I'd suggest getting a respirator if you're going to be shredding or melting stuff

Hello everyone! I’m in the Etowah area, and I’m wanting to start making a difference. Ever since I was younger and heard about garbage in the Mariana’s trench, i knew we had to do something. Now, we’re almost at a tipping point. I grew up poor, but I am working my way up and plan to use what I earn to start fixing things. However that’s a slow process and when I heard about this place I hoped coming here could speed it up. Anyways. Nice to meet all of you.

So the first step in my process will be to go to the local trade school where I once snuck into a robotics class and made friends with the teacher. Perhaps with his help or guidance I can find the resources I need in my local area to begin the process of recycling through my company, which aims to recycle any type of product into something that will still be useable as a circular material.

If you don’t have a contact by chance such as this, visiting your local trade schools will still be a viable option i would suggest trying to help get yourself started, they will likely have the resources or teachers you’d need to help get a start in your area.

Someone is selling an injection machine in Huntsville, Alabama. It's not a precious plastic design but I think someone might be interested in a used machine. https://www.facebook.com/groups/97826290593/permalink/10166567852775594/?ref=share&mibextid=3qQk68
