A measured amount of the blend is spread into a mold, which is positioned in an oven and heated until the plastic becomes molten. Pressure is then applied and this causes the randomly distributed colors of flakes to move in fascinating ways, prior to permanently bonding together. Conversely, the processes of injection molding and extrusion are unable to match this technique because their process homogenizes the color of the molten plastic. One of the best things about Origins is that it offers an aesthetic response to recycling that is not dull and dutiful but rather colorful, joyous and in many ways, superior to its competitors. Given that most plastic items are only one color, this material has a future in many as yet untapped applications.
