  • Plastic simulated stone and ceramic products manufactured from recyclable plastic and methods of making the same
    Patent number: 9421815
    Abstract: Simulated stone, clay, and transferware and jewelry blanks and ornaments and a process for their preparation using new or reclaimed low density polyethylene sheets such as bags and or other suitable materials. Some implementations can include inclusions. The process can include heating layers of low density polyethylene plastic (LDPE) or other suitable materials under about 100 lbs. of pressure with sheets of specifically treated plastic inclusions to replicate characteristics of stones such as, for example, turquoise and marble. Some implementations can replicate historic and prehistoric materials such as painted earthenware ceramics and porcelain transferware. Some implementations can include a processed craft material that may receive final processing by off-site craftspeople with a household iron. Final components may be cut manually or die-cut either manually or mechanically.
