Trash Panda MINIS MADE FROM DISCS
With a new logo, comes of course, new minis! And we may be just a tad bit excited on what we were able to come up with 👀
Introducing the new and mini-proved ghost-stamp mini! What is a ghost stamp you might be wondering? It's essentially like a branding tool melts the plastic of the mini in the design of our logo. Pretty neat!
Through our own manufacturing defects (what we call "thirds"), our disc recycling program, and fantastic partners like FlighTowel, our minis are still made entirely from recycled discs 😍
What type of recycled plastic are the minis made of and where does it come from?
Our minis are made from 100% post-industrial recycled plastic. We acquire it though a partnership we have with a Colorado supplier called Direct Polymers.
What happened to the swirls?
On industrial injection machines, the “plunger” is actually a reciprocating screw designed to create friction, move the plastic through the barrel, and blend the colors. The result? All colors are blended together to make one solid color. (Due to the nature of recycled plastic, however, minor impurities and/or swirls may occur.)
