How to Make Rope from Recycled Plastic

Recycle every plastic bottle (1-2 liter and 20 oz. bottles work best) and every plastic grocery bag that comes into your household.

Did you know that you can make extremely durable rope with these two items? This strong rope will make a great addition to any bug out bag!

Turning plastic bottles into durable rope can be accomplished using a wooden portable device, which you can make yourself!

 

How To Turn a Plastic Bottle Into Rope Using a DIY Wooden Portable Device

To make this wooden portable device you will need:

  • a rectangular piece of wood
  • a Phillips screwdriver
  • some metallic strapping tape (see above photo)
  • a paper cutter blade
  • 4 wood screws 1.5 cm in length
  • a hacksaw
  • resin paper

( Choose a piece of wood that can easily fit in your hand. Mine is 4.5 x 4.5 x 17 cm. )
