Thank you for your interest in plastic waste upcycling!

If you already have the Plastic Bottle Cutting tool, please visit the "How To" section.

What's that for?

I’m sure that you and your family every week use plenty of PET bottles (plastic bottles made of polyethylene terephthalate).

Mineral water, juice, milk, Cola, beer, etc. – are all commonly packed in PET bottles.

When a bottle is empty, you just throw it into a trash bin. It’s not so bad if your town has a recycling facility for PET bottles. If not - bottles are just taken to dumping ground.

Why not get some extra utility from used PET bottles?

Take advantage of the PET bottle cutter - this simple yet very useful appliance.

With the bottle cutter tool, you may cut any PET bottle to get PET rope or band with variable width (approx. 1-9 mm).

What advantages does P.E.T. rope have?

• Well, the most obvious – you get a FREE PET ROPE and you may use it anywhere you may need a rope – at home, in the garden, in camping, during outdoor activities or traveling, for your DIY needs or anywhere else. Just take an empty PET bottle and here it is – a PET rope or a band just for no cost. A 2.5 L PET bottle can provide up to 40 meters of 2 mm rope (may vary depending on bottle form).
• It is not JUST A ROPE - it is a STRONG rope! 3 mm wide rope can hold about 8 kg of weight, 4 mm rope holds 12 kg (please note this is approximate values, which may vary depending on the thickness of PET bottle).
• PET rope is WEATHERPROOF! It is not afraid of high and low outdoor temperature, it won’t be destroyed under UV rays of Sun, it won’t get rot even staying in a wet place or under the water for a long time.
• PET rope and band have thermoshrink properties (shrinks when being heated). It means that you may just regularly tie the rope to fix the joint and then heat it (with heater or just over gas stove) and the rope will shrink and provide much more firm joint! Just check out video testing of the garden chair – it does not have even a finished frame and it is fixed just with PET rope without a single nail or screw! And it still can easily hold great dynamic loads.

By cutting PET bottles for you needs you make your town and the environment much cleaner – very soon you’ll note that you have a lack of PET bottles ))).

So with PET rope extractor, you can get an almost endless amount of a FREE, FIRM and WEATHERPROOF rope with THERMOSHRINK abilities. You may get the rope in assorted colors according to the color of the bottle.
