Plastic-Edge Coaster Square
To create PK recycled plastic and rattan baskets and tableware, we collect plastic bags from clean ups or purchase plastic from locals. Next, the bags are washed and fully dried. Third, we cut the plastic into strips. Lastly, the weaving begins. Depending on the design, weaving with added plastic can take up to twice the time of traditional weaving as the rattan is first wrapped with the plastic, then woven together with standard, smaller rattan to create the final basket shape.
