we here at the green toy manufacturing plod now what is this particular machine so this is an injection molding machine this is primarily the way we make green toys products we start with these little pellets that are recycled milk jugs these are literally chopped up and washed recycled milk jugs and those sit in this hopper here then we add to that this second pellet pellets which is the colorant so these two are mixed together and they're pushed into this long piston which is called a screw so what happens is the heat and the rotation mixes the plastic together and gets pushed down this long distance under hundreds of tons of pressure and that's the mechanism that pushes the plastic into the mole to create the part and then once that's made you'll notice the robot will take the part out and bring it down for a secondary assembly now the human intervention comes in right when the pot drums what if gentlemen keep doing so there's one of a couple of ways that we can put together a green toy we can either have an operator trim the parts and put it together or we can just take the parts and move them to a secondary assembly stage where they're either put together by hand or many times we have a press where they can automate the assembly process that's right one of the things you'll notice that this particular one is dropping a lot of parts some molds carry big part to output one or two pieces this is a twelve cavity ball and the efficiency is that we're charged by the time that machine operated so when we can build a bigger bowl and more parts drop out the each part is less expensive so the trick is to build a legal mold a attendant as many parts repeats with each shot now we have all of the component grout toys what's the people together practice reply so this is a fixture that does the secondary assembly one of the things you'll notice especially for a product like this is that we want to make sure the wheels go on but the fixture will also check that the wheels are on and securely on so that they won't come off after assembling this particular fixture think have to make a big boy and this coil oh that's right yeah none of these are one-size-fits-all every single fixture is custom-made for every product and this is the completed product ready to be booked that the green toys mini vehicle we sell millions of these every year and you'll notice there's no metal axles there's no screw there's no glue it's 100% recyclable and this is it the finished product is now bucked up in these fully recycled cardboard packaging Signori plastic sides all this made out of Kabul to secure it properly and then the product is shipped out to over 80 countries worldwide today green toys has recycled over 40 million plastic bottles here in California
