A great way to recycle. This is a good idea to at least reduce the amount of waste at sea. It could be very useful onboard the ship too.

Nick, I do agree with you, this project is cool. I am at home for a week where there are beaches and lots of plastic. Firstly all the plastic removed from the beach will be a positive move in itself, secondly, this one applies to Nick, you can relax a bit and take from the project what you want. I’m not going to be building a stool but using the technique to create something which I do need in my house. People are so boring that they look at projects like this and start ranting and pointing out every single flaw. “I would rather buy a really high quality stool that will last ages” – since when do people sit on stools? It’s a concept… jeez.

It would make sense if the plastic were turned into something they could use on board. That stool will not withstand the rigours aboard a fishing trawler.

Let’s send factory ships out to the plastic swirls, harvest the plastic, form wafers to serve as polar bear platforms or, at least, artificial polar ice caps. We clean up the mess and deflect sunlight from the warming Arctic Ocean.

I understand what they are trying to do. I would say this is more art than design. The issue with this for me is that they are creating more harmful gases by melting everything down!
