verbinder is a tool to connect wooden boards without any additional tools. The wood is not damaged, and assembling is very easy. verbinder is made of recycled plastic waste. For its production, plastic waste has to be separated into its various sorts, cleaned and finally shredded into granules. Later the granules are placed into an injection mould machine and heated. When the plastic granules are liquefied, it is injected into an injection mould. Afterwards the finished product can be removed from the mould. If needed, the product can be melted and reused many times without any loss of quality.
