Thank You (Have a Nice Day) is a project exploring the reuse of | high density polyethylene (HDPE) and a contribution to PlasticScene (Sept. 15-23, 2018), a exhibition of works made from post consumer waste plastic, organized by London based designer James Shaw and Laura Houseley, Editor-in-Chief of Modern Design Review.

HDPE can be melted between 120 to 180 °C (248 to 356 °F)

To melt evenly, reusing plastic involves chopping the waste plastic into small bits. This chopping process creates an almost new raw material that obscures any obvious connection to the plastic's previous life. To create an obvious visual connection to where the plastic came from, common graphics from New York City plastic bags were carefully composed on surface of the mold
