We sit with Deborah from Limpy Recycling to unpack how a toaster oven experiment grew into a local circular-economy shop that turns Curaçao’s plastic waste into souvenirs, furniture parts, and school sports gear. We dig into safe materials, custom molds, community collection, and why hands-on workshops change minds.

• origin of Limpy Recycling and early DIY machines
• why HDPE works and PET is exported
• safe melting practices and ventilation
• sourcing from households and partner recyclers
• process from sorting and washing to shredding and molding
• product range including coasters, clips, art, beams and sheets
• art from washed-ashore plastics and storytelling
• workshops, tours, and sustainable tourism experiences
• soccer goals made from bottle caps and fishing nets
• team growth, in-house design and mold-making
• Sambil awareness space and plans to expand regionally
• how mindset shifts reduce waste habits on the island
