Shreds plastic bottles into thin strips

Recycling plastic bottles is a GOOD THING. However, the average household lacks the capability to quickly and effectively chip or shred them so they take up minimal space in your bin.

No more! BubbaCo Labs is proud to announce the Plastic Bottle Shredder. Just clip this onto the edge of your wheelie bin and feed the bottle in. Plastic ribbons come out the bottom.

Why? Because there's no point in carting truckloads of stale air, in plastic bottles, to recycling stations.

May also be used to shred cabbages, for consumption by herbivorous pets.

Warning: Not to be used for guinea pigs, rabbits, cats or small IEDs.

       There appears to be an autobunner in this place. I've been watching for a while, and it gets to my ideas before I have a chance to reread them. Not that I'm complaining... quite the contrary.

       Now, what to use the strips for ....

       Wigs, waterproof clothing, broom bristles, roof tiles.

       They could be glued together to make bottles… and provide employment.

       That's true. You could then employ someone else to collect the glued-together-again bottles and shred them.
