We totally are!
We make things from stuff!

Wood, Plastic & Composites... Oh My!
OtG is super excited to be using a wicked cool WPC (wood plastic composite) material that contains 30% pine wood fiber from industrial scrap and 15% post consumer recycled HDPE for our first toy run (RADicules).
While this is a step in the right direction it is by no means where we plan to stop. Our ultimate goal is to process post-consumer recycled HDPE plastic from our local community as well as develop our own bio-plastics. We are uber geeks for materials and will always be looking for the next best thing in regards to sustainability and design.
Manijeh Thinks Thoughts
The only thoughts I’m thinking right now are “Holy Flying Spaghetti Monster could this take any longer!!” Although right now is a really exciting time for OtG, as we are finishing up our first prototype and about to have our first mold made, it involves tons of waiting on other people. I’m ready to get out to the OtG manufacturing facility (otherwise known as the shop connected to my house) and squirt some hot, recycled plastic! Pics of the first toy prototype to follow soon!
Later Gators!
