I melted down HDPE plastic and recycled it into a DIY Electric Guitar! HDPE. Plastic is a common type that can be melted at around 280 degrees Fahrenheit. After cleaning and sorting the plastic I shredded it in a blender before melting it inside a rubber mold. I used a guitar kit for parts and to make the mold. This was a really fun project and I am looking forward to figuring our ways to recycle more HDPE and other types of plastic like polypropylene. #HDPE #recycling
