I liquidized to a pulp using warn water and then added pieces of recycled coloured paper card and plastic bags, then squeezed the water out in a mould and put in the oven to dry it out.

My own test made from recycled plastic bag and then heated  |
More experiments using recycled plastic bags, bonded together by ironing and then heated with a blow torch.
