Michelle Baggerman, I swear I did not make that name up, says that the commonly used method of recycling plastic bags requires more chemicals and produces toxic emissions so she developed her own. She demonstrated how she first used a drop spindle and then a spinning wheel to make the plastic into a form of fiber that can be used for attractive textiles. Watch the video to see what she has created and the impact her idea has had on sustainable industry in one small area. The links below are her company websites and blog.
